The "Tudes"

Yes, there are the 'Beatitudes'. There are also the "tudes".

Stellartude. Train-atude. Forget-a-tude/Please-a-tude. What-a-tude.

1. Stellartude (See: Stellartude) is a good attitude with a plus. You go above and beyond the good attitude. It is the 'wow-factor'.

2. Train-a-tude (See: March Madness) is your attitude towards training your body in the many "lly's" such as physically or mentally.

3. Forget-a-tude/Please-a-tude fall under the same categories. Forget- is when you tell yourself, "forget it...I will not...I cannot do it." Or, in its simpler form, "pleeeaaassse!" It is the difference between doing a routine squat or accomplishing an athletic achievement versus choosing not to pursue it.

4. What-a-tude holds promise. It occurs when someone says, "What!?" Or, "you want me to do what!?" Either the individual does not do it. The "it" is too difficult or crazy. Or, the person does it. What is "it"? Well, you can take your pick among a plethora of things, including the following: taking on adequate nutrition, walking a mile daily, stretching twice daily, biking daily, practicing a skill until you're a pro at it, and more.

What "tude" do you fall under? What "tude" drives you to success? In a transitional season from winter to spring, many "tudes" will be adopted. No matter what "tude" you choose make sure the "tude" carries you through the next season.

With heart,
Derek
