Three Attitude Choices
by Michael Feeley
I’M THINK ABOUT three attitude choices.
There’s superiority – the idea you think you’re better than other people – you’re smarter – you have the answers, and others struggle away when all people have to do is listen to you.
Arrogance and an exaggerated self-opinion are other ways to describe superiority.
There’s inferiority – the feeling that you are not good enough and will never succeed. It’s resistance at its most harmful height – knocking you down – you convincing yourself that you don’t measure up to other people. (Hogwash.)
There’s humility – the attitude that you show up and do your work with honesty, commitment, and pride.
You are genuinely humble and modest in wanting to help other people live good lives through the services you offer.
Empathy is crucial in humility – caring about people and things and doing work that matters.
You’re looking to do better, not trying to be better and beat others out or upstage them.
We can each make these choices at any time. None of us are excluded from them, but we can take responsibility for our attitudes and their effect on us and others.
Thanks – Michael (he, him)
