Attitude is a human faculty which broadcasts our essence, is subject to our will, and propels our purpose.
Attitude seeks for an identity with which to cooperate.
When we know who and what we are, we have a sensor that discerns whether or not our attitude is fitting.
Our attitude, our posture, our state must be ordered to express our identity (the sum of our beliefs about us).
Ignorance or confusion about who we are gives rise to attitudes as vacillating as ocean waves. When we give our fickle attitudes power to rule or define us, we make our mood our master.
When we know what and who we are we may, and must, order our attitude to bolster and serve us consistently.
Attitudes are immensely powerful. An uncertain identity puts them in charge. A confident person employs his attitude to empower the self-expression he intends.
A rightly directed attitude is a servant that invigorates and projects our essence and purpose.
