Your Attitude Determines Whether Or Not You'll Succeed

Dan Waldschmidt

The results of your actions have little to do with what you are actually doing and almost everything to do with your attitude. Which is ironic because we spend most of our time creating lists and getting organized and listing resolu-tions about what we should be doing, forgetting that who we are being is much more important. That’s why we’re called human beings. Not human doings. Your life is full of things that you do. Your business and family and community demand that you do certain things. Some things you are shamed into doing. Other things you do because it makes other people happy or it makes you feel fulfilled or you get paid to do them. But doing can mask the hollowness of just going through the motions. Mindless repetition. Heartless action.

Which is why your attitude is so important.

If you believe that your best days are ahead of you, then you’ll find a creative solution to even the worst circumstance. If you believe that people aren’t in-tentionally trying to hurt you, then you’ll tend to give more second chances and receive them. If you believe that you are worth fighting for then you’ll find a way to keep going — no matter the effort required. You can put on a happy face temporarily when you’re in front of the right people, but your atti-tude is what determines the decisions that no one else sees until it’s too late. Your attitude is what ultimately determines if you achieve your goals or if you fall short. You can’t fake it. You can’t pretend like everything is okay. Your attitude colors the world around you. It changes the sights and sounds. It makes you believe what you want to believe. So if what you want to see and hear and feel is hate and fear and frustration then chances are you’ll find it all too easily. But if you want to find the brightest parts of the universe around you, then that is what you will find. Your attitude will lead you there.

You will be delighted in spite of troubling times and unfortunate circumstanc-es. You’ll find hope and happiness while others mock and scorn. It’s your attitude that determines if you make it or if you just ended up being a loser.

Be a better you!

UPCOMING EVENTS

2020-2021 swim season

We are working on getting additional Intrasquad meets scheduled as well as some dual and tri-meets. In order for us to run these meets we need your help. We need officials, we have never mandated volunteer hours from our families and we do not plan on starting. We have always asked for parents to step up when asked. I am asking all of you now to step up. Once we can schedule an officials training class we will get it on the calendar. We need to fill it. More information coming soon.

• No Practice December 24-25 Have an amazing Christmas with your family.

• No Practice December 31-Jan 1 Have an amazing New Years Eve with your family.
