Attitude

"Our Attitudes are Our Most Important Assets"


Attitude really is everything. When the going gets tough you have to get positive. I know my attitude can really make or break my performance and my effort. The other day at U-sing practice I kept messing up all of the dances and have silly memory mistakes; and I had the worst attitude EVER! I was homesick and tried and sad and cranky. My attitude was sidetracking me from having fun and doing good. I know that I learn absolutely nothing when I have a "this is stupid" attitude. I never really realized how important attitude is until I really looked at others. 


In high school I was a cheerleader, and there would be practices where we would all be tense and start sassing to each other. We would all have bad attitudes; some of us just didn't want to be there  and some of us we "too cool" for what we were practicing and some of us thought that what we were doing was the most important thing we have ever done. But in the middle of all the bad attitudes, there would be Caylin.


Caylin wasn't the best cheerleader on the team and she wasn't the most talented, but she always had a great attitude. She always made things constructive and positive. She never thought she was better than anyone and always kept a positive outlook. Her asset to the team was her attitude! Without her positivity and encouragement are team would have fallen apart. I look up to Caylin's attitude so much. She may have been the worst one in the room at times, but you would never of know because she had such an amazing attitude.


Attitude is the greatest asset. It can set us apart from the rest. We can all have the same skill or the same frustration but what attitude we have will vary. the attitude we have can make us better or bring us down. Attitude is so important in leading others because part of who we are is our attitude, and who would want to follow someone with a bad attitude and negative outlook.
