In this book, Time for an Attitude Check, author and speaker, LaDon Vinnett-Thompson gives the reader a daily challenge to maintain a positive healthy attitude. In order to be successful in any facet of life, you must maintain a positive attitude. Your attitude does determine your altitude! How you think will determine how far you go in your life. Your attitude will set the mood, tone, and atmosphere in your life that will catapult you to another altitude. There are good attitudes and there are certainly bad attitudes. There are negative attitudes and there are positive attitudes as well. Each day you choose which one you will possess. Positive attitudes are vital to our lifestyle. They are a collection of thoughts that produce positive energy to help us fulfill our God-given purpose. Negative attitudes produce toxic vibes that literally strips us of life and vigor. Each day is a new day, a new opportunity to be who you are and to do what you are purposed to do. But, how often do we waste time and energy lingering with a bad attitude about something we have no control over? Make a conscious decision each day and declare your new day, new attitude, and your new altitude. Do not allow any person or situation to detour you from moving forward to fulfill your goals and destiny. Life moves fast and we have to create the right attitude for our situation. Enjoy the book!

Dedication

This book is dedicated to one of the most amazing women on this side of heaven. My mother, Margaret Taylor Vinnett is a fabulous woman of God. She is a powerful intercessor, wife, mother, and mentor. I watched her lifestyle over the years and she has truly proven to be an icon of hope to the hopeless and a living testimony of God in the earth. As her only daughter, she has nurtured me during the difficult times of my life and added an abundance of joy to the good times. My mother has supported me in ministry and in all of my endeavors. My mother is timeless, fashionable, and always willing to help others along the way.

Thanks for your demonstration of love and strength in our family as Darren, Terrell, and I grew up. You were always there to pray for us and to encourage us.

Mama, I appreciate you so much….you are the best! Love Always….LaDon

Introduction

One year after starting work at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, I had the distinct privilege of going to the control tower on a tour with a select group of coworkers.
