The first session of #ListenUp June Edition aired today and I must tell you it was fantastic! Our Special Guest in the house, Boye Oloyede was phenomenal!
See below the compiled tweets for your reading pleasure. #ReadRestRelaxAndReflect on them. Truly, to attain a substantial height in life especially in our relationship, we need to make conscious and deliberate effort to MIND OUR ATTITUDE AND HEARTITUDE.
It's a privilege for me to be here with @kemi_odutayo, discussing Mind Your Attitude & Heartitudes #ListenUp
1. The story was told about a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair. He had all colours of balloons, #ListenUp
3. including red, yellow, blue and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air #ListenUp
4. & when the children saw it go up, they all wanted to buy one. They would come up to him to buy and his sales would go up again. #ListenUp
5. He continues this process all day. One day, he felt someone tugging at his jacket. #ListenUp
6. He turned around and saw a little black boy who asked, "If you release a black balloon, would it also fly?" #ListenUp
7. Moved by the boy's concern, the man replied with empathy, #ListenUp
8. "Son, it is not the colour of the balloon, it is what is inside the balloon that makes it go up". #ListenUp
9. It's not your colour, beauty, circumstance, background, qualification, connections, bank account etc that make you rise in life.#ListenUp
10. It is your #attitude and #heartitude that determines whether you rise or how high you rise. #ListenUp
11. #Attitude is, 'A predisposition or tendency to respond positively or negatively towards an idea, object, person, or situation.'#ListenUp
12. It is the way you think or feel about something, someone or a situation that determines your behavior. #ListenUp
13. It influences your choice of action and reaction to stimuli - challenges, incentives, and rewards. #ListenUp
14. #Heartitude, I will define as the disposition/state of your heart at any given time. #ListenUp
15. Ur #attidude –outward expression of feelings, belief & action- is pivotal to your success. Requires utmost attention. #ListenUp
16. Minding your #attitude & #heartitude is your number 1 responsibility. #ListenUp
17. "Above everything else, guard your heart;
for it is the source of life's consequences." ~ King David #ListenUp
18. Your circumstance is the product of your attitude & heartitude. My pastor @sam_adeyemi often say, 'First within, then without'.#ListenUp
19. You are the Honourable Minister of your Ministry of Internal Affairs. Life is only a reflector of your heart. #ListenUp
20. Attitude shapes perception. Your attitude and heartitude is the goggle through which you see the world. #ListenUp
21. Life reflects the undergirding principle of computing – GIGO –Garbage in, Garbage out. #ListenUp
22. Should I say, Garbage inside, Garbage outside? #ListenUp
23. There are things within our can control and a whole lot more outside our control #ListenUp
24. Frustration and worry stems from trying to control things that are outside our control. #ListenUp
25. You may not have had control over the hand life dealt you but good news is your attitude is 100% within your control. #ListenUp
23. Les Brown said, 'If life knocks you down make sure you land on your back, because if you can look up, you can get back up!'#ListenUp
24. No test or temptation that comes ur way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that…#ListenUp
25. God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. #ListenUp
26. So, how do you react to failure, disappointment or a bad day? Big pointer to whether you have the right attitude or not. #ListenUp
27. Opportunities get passed a man or woman with negative attitude everyday #ListenUp
28. Because they are usually concerned with what the other person have that they don't. #ListenUp
29. Local saying,'If yam is pounded on a leaf, and its soup prepared in a groundnut shell. He who'll be satisfied will be satisfied'#ListenUp
30. In other words, however bad the circumstance or economy may be, some people still get to make it. Decide to be part of the few. #ListenUp
31. Your attitude towards problems will determine your rate of promotion. #ListenUp
32. The story of David & Goliath is a classic case. #ListenUp
33. Others saw a big fellow, David saw a slow fellow. Everybody saw a terrorist, David saw shortcut to national recognition. #ListenUp
34. "It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy… #ListenUp
35. It is what you think about it." ~ Dale Carnegie Attitude shapes perception #ListenUp

38. …the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way" ~Viktor Frankl #ListenUp
39. Developing the right attitude does not come easy. Like every asset, it comes with a price but the effects are priceless. #ListenUp
40. Is a great attitude a product of nature or nurture? Are people born with it or they develop it? #ListenUp
41. Great attitude is more of nurture than nature. #ListenUp
42. Some temperaments are naturally upbeat, still we must intentionally develop our attitudes. #ListenUp
43. Upbeat outlook often gets beaten up by life. #ListenUp
44. How do you then mind your attitude and heartitude? #ListenUp
45. Pay attention to your attitude. How you think, feel, and react to situation and people. #ListenUp
46. Learn to slow down and query yourself – asking why you reacted or felt in a certain way towards something or someone #ListenUp
47. This forces you to become self-aware which is the starting point to emotional mastery. #ListenUp
48. Learn to process your thoughts and feelings then affirm if your disposition is positive or negative. #ListenUp
49. If negative, tell yourself - mind/heart how you want to respond should such situation present itself again in the future. #ListenUp
50. This approach I have found to be helpful. It may feel awkward in the beginning, with practice it becomes second nature. #ListenUp
51. Asking Why of why of why of why of why of your attitude helps uncover the belief system responsible. #ListenUp
52. Yrs back, noticed I developed a negative attitude towards a colleague. My feelings & reaction towards the person became toxic. #ListenUp

55. What kind of internal dialogue do you have? It's called Self-Talk and we all engage in it. #ListenUp
56. Your self-talk affects your self-image, which shows in your attitude and ultimately, affects your performance. #ListenUp
57. Learning something new recently, I became conscious of my self-talk while I had setbacks in training. I was amazed. #ListenUp
58. I was telling myself, 'You can do this'; 'You are a natural'; 'You are getting there'. This realization for me was amazing. #ListenUp
59. Years back that internal dialogue was more like, 'Give up'; 'You can never do it'; 'You think it's easy'. #ListenUp
60. Such self-talks shape our self-image and also affect how we treat other people. #ListenUp
61. Be grateful for who you are, where you are and what you have. Grateful people attract great people. #ListenUp
62. Take in positive information. Invest in your mind. Read books. I'll recommend 'Attitude is Everything' by Keith Harrell. #ListenUp
63. Read bk of Proverbs in the Bible. Try the Message Translation. Haven't found a better resource for developing a grt attitude. #ListenUp
64. Look up. Pray. Ask God for help. He answers. I am sure He'll answer you. #ListenUp
