Notes and quotes from The Decision Maker, Chapter 4 by John Maxwell
I think it would be easier to apply this chapter if it was “How to make MY attitude MY greatest asset.” Here is how I am making my attitude my greatest asset.
- OWN IT by accepting responsibility for my attitude.
- EVALUATE IT by paying attention to what I think.
- WANT IT enough to do something about it.
- CANGE IT by thinking different.
- DO IT with new habits; creating new muscle memory for my soul.
- MANAGE IT. Maxwell says, successful people make right decisions early and manage those decisions daily.
Maxwell concludes this great chapter with an awesome “if-then” proposition.
If you take responsibility for your attitude – recognizing that it can change how you live, managing it every day, and cultivating and developing positive thoughts and habits – then you can make your attitude your greatest asset.
