Does your attitude impact your photography?

I read an interesting article today. Here is the link - http://bit.ly/jATiM. I am following Scott on twitter since yesterday.  I am keen to apply his steps in general. For reference I am copying the stuff from the article for reference
Here are some steps I am taking to improve my attitude.
a. I am trying not to let my opinion of my circumstances guide my actions. If it’s raining outside, I can either decide the weather is crap or I can decide the weather offers great storm cloud photography options.
b. I am trying to look at my past mistakes to see how I can improve and learn from them rather than lamenting them.
c. I am trying to focus on what’s really important rather than what’s supposed to be urgent.
d. I am trying to challenge my own assumptions about my work and asking if there’s anything I should revisit or revise based on new information, tools or skills.
e. I am trying to ignore any and all echo chambers in the field of photography.
f. I am trying to open my mind and my heart to new ideas.
g. I am trying not to let my emotions get the better of me.
As Scott mentioned - he is trying so shall I.
