When you are in the wrong state of mind everything is a cause for worry and unhappiness. On the other hand, if you are in the right state of mind everything is a cause for contentment. Your state of mind at all times is in direct correlation with your attitude.
With this in mind, no pun intended, you must realize that your attitude influences how you feel about your life circumstances. It is rather difficult to move forward if you do not begin with a proper positive attitude.
A positive attitude is the foundation to realize success, peace, contentment, great relationships, etc.
Attitude is always about being optimistic, being calm, being cool, being collected, and having self-control. 
Begin to realize that your attitude is your choice, not the decision of your circumstances. Know that you have complete control over the way you choose to feel and respond in all of your surroundings. All it takes is a conscious habit of keeping everything in perspective.
Whether your conditions are a dent in your car, a speeding ticket, being late to a meeting, losing your job, being around people you do not like, being overweight, having something stolen from you or even just being moody, it is your choice on how you choose to feel and react towards these situations.
Attitude is the key to unlocking all of the locked doors that are keeping you from experiencing your personal best.
