"Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it."-Lou Holtz
This was a quote on a wall in my first office. I recently found it and stopped to think about it. Quickly I realized that all three are important. Why?
Without ability or the plan to develop your capabilities you will not do the things you want to do. It takes wisdom and willingness to take a look at yourself and understand what you are capable of and what are your gaps that need closing.
Without motivation we tend to not want to move forward. The biggest secret to motivation is to do something small towards your goal. Amazingly that little motion will motivate you to take the next small step.
The last piece is the attitude. If you are unsure of your abilities or feel lack of motivation you will not have the best attitude to strive forward. You have to believe you can and be willing to take the small step. The last ingredient is the secret sauce. Without the best 'I can' attitude you will not succeed even if you have the ability and motivation.
Today's question is:
"How would you rate your ability, motivation, and attitude in your current endeavor?(on a scale of 1 worst to 10 best ) "
Imho you need at least a score of 27 to succeed.
