Lose the attitude and enjoy yourself!
March 26, 2008 — Losing the attitude means you can laugh at yourself…and have the capacity to enjoy you!
When I was in law school I visited my “adopted” parents over the holidays and some weekends. One of my favorite things to do was to have coffee and read my horoscope in the Fresno Bee. The scope helped me laugh at myself! I loved the bee-scope so much that I’d get back to school and Barbara would call to read it to me.
I woke up this morning to this bee-scope…
Virgo: You might not realize the impact of your attitude on others. You could be making a situation or interaction much heavier or difficult. Look at why you assume the attitude.
Laughing at myself is important. Do I have attitude? YES!
And don’t confuse my attitude with my persistence, passion, determination, or confidence — those are qualities! “Attitude” has a negative connotation because it is somehow unjustified and usually results when a person feels frustrated, either by their own limitations, or the situation they are in.
Simply admitting the attitude is just the beginning. I really need to know “WHY I ASSUME THE ATTITUDE” in order to get rid of it. Maybe I feel like the community got a raw deal, like as much as we tried to rationalize and explain our elected officials did not get it, and maybe I just feel tired and frustrated at the process — one that was broken from the start. In any case, just talking about those reasons makes me feel 100% better!
I’m cool with losing the “attitude.” I don’t think it sets a good example and I also don’t think that “attitude” gets anyone anywhere. That said, my persistence, determination, confidence, and passion still remain!!!
