the difference maker

I picked up a book the other day titled 'The Difference Maker', by Dr. John Maxwell. Maxwell writes a lot of leadership, success, and motivation orientated books. In this book, Dr. Maxwell tackles what separates individuals from achieving the kind of success they desire and dream about. The difference maker is ATTITUDE. As Maxwell states, "Your attitude colors every aspect of your life. It is like the mind's paintbrush."

The challenge is to decide early every day that you are going to have a great attitude. There are many obstacles to having a positive attitude. But each of you is capable of stepping over the obstacles like they are a set of eight hurdles during hurdle-walkovers!

And I hope twenty of you will step to the start line on Saturday with great attitudes. The choice is yours!
