Attitude

Remember back in the 90′s when those little spiral quotation books were all the rage? We had one on our kitchen table, and we used it with our children every day (they were young; we were trying to cover all our bases in the great experiment that is parenting). Our quotation book was called "3 Words a Day" and there were some 3-word sayings that stuck with all of us. Our favorite was:

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.

There are fancier ways to say it, but we like that this one doesn't mess around (and what an easy reminder to use with kids – no judgment, no blaming, no shaming – just a reminder of the truth). How you choose to look at the world and what you choose to project will make or break your experience of everything you do and everything you are.

Marilu says "Work the coat" – project your best in everything you do and go for it.

Even when you're facing a bad day or a difficult person or a big challenge, your positive attitude and willingness to put your best effort and best face out there makes a huge difference. Go for it.
