“How's your attitude?” When I worked on the college campus, I had a friend, a member of the faculty, who would always greet me with that question. I do not recall a time when he greeted me with “Hello” or “How are you?” His greeting was nearly always, “How's your attitude?”
How is your attitude as a Lion? Are you positive and upbeat about your club's activities, fund raisers and membership prospects? Or do you find yourself taking the “I don't think this project will work” or the “We'll never get any new members in this community” point of view. Is your attitude at the right “latitude?”
My car dealership encourages me to bring my vehicle in regularly for a state inspection, tune-up or oil change . We need to “take ourselves in” regularly for an “attitude inspection” and if it's not where it should be, then we probably need a little “attitude tune-up” or even an “attitude change.” Our lives and our Lions clubs will run smoother. Norman Vincent Peale had this suggestion: “Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.” That is very good advice.
Our attitudes are fully under our own control. We each have the opportunity to choose to be positive and affirming. We can choose to work hard on that Lions project or choose to invite that neighbor down the street. We can choose to be a part of the solution to any issue or problem. With our attitudes at the right latitude, we will find our service engines humming right along.
So then, “How's your attitude?”
