Some behavioral psychologists say you don't determine your attitudes. They say you are a product of circumstances. But psychological research reveals that we do choose the attitudes that shape our lives. Your attitudes have a powerful impact upon you, your family, and your friends. Your attitudes show in your face, voice, and body movement.
Attitudes are contagious.
This is why it is so important to have a positive and healthy attitude. People with positive attitudes influence others. I coached wrestling at Huntington College for eight years. He came from a broken home, but he had a great attitude. He was the first wrestler on the mat for practice, and the last to head for the shower.
