If You Change Your Attitude You Change Your Altitude

Posted on by Kathleen | 32 comments

The one thing you can’t change is the work and effort you need to put in to get to the top. There is just no getting around it – not in the world of success.

There is no elevator on the way up to the top. You have to take the stairs. The elevator doesn’t go to the top. In order to get to the life of your dreams, you’re going have to learn how to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

When you hear people say all the time, “I don’t want to do that. I’m not comfortable with it” this person is in trouble. Because whatever your comfort zone is, if you stay in your comfort zone, that’s where you’ll fail. In order to succeed in life, you have to step outside of your comfort zone.

But you need to know something about yourself. You are equipped to live outside of your comfort zone.

A lot of people are afraid to jump, a lot of people are afraid to take chances, a lot of people are afraid to put things up for risk, BUT you shouldn’t be. Now you can be afraid, but you should learn how to go ahead anyway. Because what you don’t realise about yourself is this:

For all the bad days you’ve ever had, for every day that you thought you could never get through, for every stage in your life you which you thought there was no way you could come out on the other side, your track record for surviving those bad days is 100%.

You have survived every single one of them. Your track record for surviving bad days is 100%.

And that’s pretty good. You can’t name one bad day you have not got through. If you want a life of convenience now, you have to get uncomfortable. You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Stop trying to do everything the short way. Stop trying to figure out the easy way. Sometimes you have to mess up. Sometimes you have to get your feelings hurt, you have to get disappointed, you have to get told no. Can you think of anything that has grown into something beautiful that didn’t have dirt on it?

Sometimes we get scared just because we get some dirt on ourselves, but you need dirt to develop. Because dirt isn’t just dirt, dirt is fertiliser, dirt is nutrients, dirt gives you the strength for your seed to push through.

So you need to get dirt on you to push through something. So next time you get some ‘dirt’ on yourself don’t get mad. Don’t get negative.

If you get an unexpected setback. That’s just dirt.

If you get thrown off course. That’s just dirt.

If people are talking negatively about you. That’s just dirt.

If you breakup or lose someone you love. That’s just dirt.

Take a moment to think about all those bad moments you had that looked like you were not going to make it. Your track record for surviving bad days is 100%. If you want a life of convenience now, you have to get very uncomfortable. You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Just change your mindset. If you change your attitude you change your altitude.

Rise Up Beautiful You.
