Recognize how your choices today impact your success tomorrow.

Attitude is Everything: Honoring Keith Harrell’s Legacy

“Recognize how your choices today impact your success tomorrow.”

~Keith Harrell~

I saved this quote in my drafts over a year ago, and it still speaks volumes today. Simple words, yet powerful truth: our attitude today sets the stage for our tomorrow.

Keith Harrell knew this deeply. Many remember him as a dynamic motivational speaker and author of Attitude is Everything: 10 Life-Changing Steps to Turning Attitude into Action. I remember him as more than that. I grew up watching him and his cousin shine on the basketball court at Garfield High School. My parents would take me to games, and I was in awe. I felt proud knowing that one day I would walk those same hallways—hallways already rich with history, filled with names and legacies like Keith and Bruce Harrell, that inspired me to aim high.

Keith’s message was simple but profound: attitude has the power to shape both success and happiness. In his book, he outlined ten steps to help people transform their outlook. The ones that resonate most with me today are:

Understanding the Power of Attitude: Recognizing how your mindset influences your experiences and outcomes. Re-Framing a Bad Attitude: Choosing to shift from negativity into possibility. Being Pre-Active: Preparing for challenges instead of just reacting. Leaving a Lasting Legacy: Living in a way that plants seeds of impact for the future.

These steps aren’t just words on a page—they’ve become part of my daily life.

🌻 My Reflection on Attitude

I’ve seen how my calm and steady presence shapes the mood in any space I’m in. Even when challenges arise, I can be the anchor. I’ve also learned that I don’t have to carry frustration—I can release what doesn’t serve me and shift into peace. Rather than waiting for problems to overwhelm me, I step up, organize, and set the tone early. And when I think about legacy, I realize it’s not just about big accomplishments—it’s in the values I carry, the stories I share, and the kindness I bring daily.

Keith’s life and message remind me of truths I’m already living: I choose my attitude, and it shapes my tomorrow.

To everyone reading this, I leave you with Keith’s wisdom and my heart’s reflection:

✨ Your attitude is your power. Guard it. Shape it. Let it carry you into the tomorrow you deserve. ✨

Thank you, Keith, for leaving us this gift. Your legacy continues.
