MENTAL DIET: How To Gain Life’s Altitude

In aeronautics, the airplane’s altitude is its position in relation to the horizon. When the airplane is ascending, it has a nose-high attitude because its nose is pointed above the horizon.

When the aircraft is diving, it is called a nose-down attitude. The altitude of the airplane indicates its performance. In fact, the performance of the airplane is dependent on its altitude, and in order to change the performance of the airplane the attitude of the airplane must be changed.

Instructors in flying teach “attitude flying” because the attitude of the airplane determines its performance. The same principle applies to human lives.

Your altitude determinant is your attitude.

Your attitude qualifies your ability. Your ability is enhanced when your attitude is improved. Attitude can be sensed and seen and it becomes contagious as we come in contact with people.

The way you approach the world will determine the way the world will treat you and the way you approach the world is determined by your attitude.
