Reflections from "Attitude is Everything"

I am forcing myself to read again...no excuse that there is no time.
So I picked up this book, "Attitude is Everything" by Keith Harrell. It is rather interesting because he is not really a sociologist or a psychologist, but more of an engineer by profession. So his take on this matter is refreshing as he explains his terms with technological metaphors.

I have yet to complete my reading but here is an exerpt I have taken for self-reflection:
"The most powerful computer in the world is the human computer. Our programming, then, comes from what we hear, see and say. We can be programmed for success or failure based on how well we monitor what I call the ear-gate, eye-gate and mouth-gate.

What we see through our eye-gate goes directly into our hearts, frequently having a profound effect on our state of min, sense of well-being, and of course, our attitude.Likewise, what we hear through our ear-gate has the power to lift us up and drag us down. Finally, the mouth-gate speaks to the heart-mouth connection.:- our words have a tremendous impact on our attitude and the attitude of those around us."

Well put.
Just a reminder to myself that I have what it takes within me to make, or break my day.
It is always easy to feel upset or get angry with others, and think that they are the cause of our problems.
But I have the power to choose and decide how I want to react.
So Dee...stay strong...stay positive
With God's will, and blessings. Ameen
