Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude - Zig Zagler

When I was promoted to my current position, I was congratulated with this quote by one of the managers at  my workplace. I saved it in my memory up until this day and I am sure this will be forever ingrained in my career as a key guiding principle.

As of late, however, I find myself losing that positive attitude that I have always been so proud of. A part of that is attributed to personal reasons...but a large part of this is also caused by my inability to find a direction to move on in my career.

I don't know if this happens to everyone at least once in their lives or am I just this crazy person out here trying to think too much, but for the entire year I have been anxiously waiting to move forward to something else...I asked myself what it was and I asked God what it was. But of course I get no answer becos....well let's be honest unless you are superbly spiritual or taken magic mushrooms, I don't think I get to hear any voices responding to my questions. I'm not that crazy yet I suppose.

I digress.

I imagine myself standing right in the middle of a 4 way stop. You know, with rolling hay, deserted grounds, and blue skies. I've been standing there. Observing one direction, another direction and yet another direction. I'm not even sure if I should pick any of the above becos I know that, out here, there might be another road or anotehr path that has not been walked on...or very few people have walked on it.

I'm not sure. I'm still not sure. But one thing's for certain - is that I am ready to move on. And that is another reason why I am writing this.

My motivation to move on is driven by my attitude. My positive attitude is back. I don't think it would be long before I put my gears back into action...and then I'll be charged with enough energy to take that long path..that unforeseen path before I make another pit stop and ponder again on my next move.

Life is still beautiful. At least I am seeing the cup as half full.
