Denis Waitley Attitude Quotations

The winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.

Life is the movie you see through your own eyes. It makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how you take it that counts.

You always project on the outside how you feel on the inside.

First we make our attitudes. Then our attitudes make us.

Virtually nothing on earth can stop a person with a positive attitude who has his goals clearly in sight.

Expect the best; convert problems into opportunities; be dissatisfied with the status quo; focus on where you want to go, instead of where you're coming from; and most importantly, decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude.

Habits start out as off-hand remarks, magazine advertisements, friendly hints, experiments - like flimsy cobwebs with little substance. They grow with practice, layer by layer - thought on thought - fused with imagination and emotion until they become like steel cables - unbreakable. Habits are attitudes which grow from cobwebs into cables that control your everyday life. Self-discipline alone can make or break a habit. Self discipline alone can effect a permanent change in your self image and in you. Self-discipline achieves goals. Self discipline is not 'doing without,' it is 'doing within.'

Success in life isn't only for the gifted or the privileged or those with a high IQ. Success is totally dependent on three things: persistence, determination and a positive mental attitude.

Your attitude is a choice you make.

Decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

Winning is all in the attitude!

Attitude is the criterion for success. But you can't buy an attitude for a million dollars. Attitudes are not for sale. ...Your attitude towards your potential is either the key to or the lock in the door of personal fulfillment.

Your attitude is either the lock on, or the key to the door of your success.

Life is the movie you see through your own eyes.
