class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h1>Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I realized this many years ago as I was first learning to fly airplanes. The \u201cattitude\u201d of the plane is pilot-speak for whether the nose of the plane is pointing up, down, or just flying straight ahead. \u00a0The \u201caltitude\u201d of a plane, of course, refers to how high it\u2019s flying. You want the plane flying high enough to avoid such inconvenient obstacles such as trees, mountains, and other planes being flown badly by other pilots and low enough that you don\u2019t get lost in the clouds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abrupt changes in a plane\u2019s \u201cattitude,\u201d either up <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">down, can be disastrous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It quickly became apparent to me that flying is a perfect description of human behavior. If we get ourselves flying too high &#8211; <em>such as<\/em> <em>having manic or hypo-manic episodes &#8211; <\/em>we may soon lose control and get lost in the clouds. If we fly too low &#8211; <em>such as developing dysthymia or depression<\/em> &#8211;\u00a0 then we can burn out. Both extremes can result in a crash before we realize that a crash is coming.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our altitude needs to be just high enough to overcome our obstacles. And it\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our own attitude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that permits us to do that. Personal Development and Self-Improvement Programs \u00a0have been around since the Greek Stoic philosopher <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epictetus, who is considered by many in modern psychology as one of the original thinkers of coping with life. But his school of thought had it\u2019s rivals. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Socrates, Aristotle and other Greek and Roman philosophers competed for students in their schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same is true today, as so many motivational speakers, success gurus and life coaches claim they have the right message to motivate their students. Well, the truth is &#8211; <em>they often do!<\/em> Because nearly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">everyone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we come in contact with can say something that is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uplifting <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supportive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to us. Books, movies, music, poetry &#8211; all of it can be supportive and motivating. For a while. But books, movies, music, poetry, gurus, mastermind groups and motivational seminars don\u2019t keep you motivated very long. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, you crash back to earth and revert to old, unmotivated ways. And that\u2019s why so many individuals who have spent thousands of dollars and days upon days attending seminars and meetings may never make any noticeable improvement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So getting motivated is the easy part. But the hardest and most important part is <em>staying motivated<\/em> and that involves learning <em>how to overcome the hidden obstacles*<\/em> within ourselves that prevent us from both <em>getting motivated <\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>keeping <\/em><\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>motivated. <\/em>We need to do both to continually move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-186\" src=\"https:\/\/draplus.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/sig.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"28\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><span style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: 600; text-transform: capitalize; color: #a60008;\">Start Overcoming Obstacles To Happiness Today<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-av_toggle_container-8e0c6e39d39b619a829887bd54fff3ed  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-fdacc89b33369ff3bc45b8b90746e40e'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-1' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-1'><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; font-variant-caps: small-caps; color: #233587;\">Learning To Fly<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; text-transform: capitalize; color: #000000;\">How To Be Happy Starting Today<\/span><span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-1' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><b style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Issues Addressed: <\/b><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">The Surprising Relationship Between Success and Happiness in a Beautiful and Cruel World.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Overview:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0This basic intro into the psychology of happiness reviews the current research about\u00a0 success and happiness in an informative and entertaining fashion.
