Many years ago\u00a0 one of the key slogans or phrases of the day to tell people that seemed to have an
\nissue with what you were doing, thinking or saying that they needed an
\n“attitude adjustment”. In fact, most people that find that others are
\nnegative, unhelpful, destructive or even obstructionist may need to do a
\nself-attitude adjustment before they are able to see any meaningful change.
\nConstantly butting heads, figuratively of course, with everyone around you may
\nbe a sign that you have a real problem. <\/em><\/p>\n

I outlined a scenario of a self-attitude adjustment in my book, “The Law of Sobriety”. I learned
\nabout focusing in on using the Law of Attraction, or the need to seek the
\npositives in the world can work wonders in your life. In my scenario I talk
\nabout my own experiences in searching for someone that embodied what I wanted
\nto help me through a difficult time in my life. Unfortunately I thought it was
\nmaterial things that mattered, but what I came to understand it was spiritual
\nor internal coaching that I needed. <\/em><\/p>\n

Learning to have an attitude of gratitude turned my life around. Instead of looking for negatives
\nin people, I looked for what they contributed to my life that was positive. I
\nlooked to what I appreciated, which I found in overwhelming qualities once I
\nstopped grieving over what I didn\u2019t have. I quickly discovered that once I
\nceased mentally whining about not having the “things” I wanted but
\nrather focused on the opportunities I had, the universe magically provided
\nthose things. Through seeing opportunities my options for becoming who I wanted
\nto be was right there, crystal clear, with positive people to guide me whenever
\nI needed them. This understanding was and is the essential attitude adjustment
\nwe all need. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
