SOCIAL CONSCIENCE
I CAN RECOGNIZE HOW MY ATTITUDE IMPACTS THOSE AROUND ME.
Life is full of events and situations that come upon us that we did not create or deserve. Here is the hard part about those situations -- YOU are responsible for how you respond to those circumstances. Tim and Brian Kight from Focus3 use an equation to put you in control of your future. E + R = O -- Event + Response = Outcome. Our outcomes are determined by how we respond to events in our lives. The Kights tell us that if we are not getting the outcomes we want then we must look at our response. If we are not getting what we want, it is because our response is not good enough. How we respond matters and how we respond is greatly determined by our attitude. They also make the important point that our RESPONSE can be someone else’s EVENT. How we respond to events or circumstances not only impacts our outcomes, but it creates events that others must deal with. Your response can be that event or situation that others did not create, but they must deal with it. If the responses are positive, then we can hopefully impact others in a positive way. If our responses are negative, then we will almost always impact others in a negative way. This reminds me of a graphic I shared at the beginning of last school year:
Your response and your attitude determines the culture we create. Your attitude impacts others. Looking at the list above, what type of attitude do you want to build our culture around?
Remember, while your response to events may be deeply personal in motivation, it is never private. YOUR ATTITUDE MATTERS MOST!
