Your attitude will determine your altitude and a man who struggles with
his attitude will struggle with many other essential and important factors
and elements that will lead him to his altitude in life.
The “so what” or “who cares” attitude stops you from taking the actions
that will help you build the kind of life you want to have for yourself and
your family.
What happens
Only when I was willing to take responsibility for my life, stop blaming
and look for what little good remained, was I able to begin to turn this
situation around. A negative attitude keeps us stuck by robbing us of the
self-discipline we need to improve our conditions. If you take a “what’s
the use” approach to your circumstances, they will only get worse.
It’s imperative that you turn a negative attitude around and learn to
become a positive person.
Gratitude
The fastest and easiest way I know to change from a negative to a positive
attitude is to develop an attitude of gratitude. You may even want to keep
a gratitude journal, a place where you can build a list of the things you
are grateful for in your life. It’s impossible to have gratitude and be in
self-pity at the same time, and most negative attitudes are rooted in self-
pitying, “poor me” self-talk. You can quickly change a negative attitude to
a positive one by becoming grateful.
Make a daily habit of counting your blessings and list what you are
grateful for in your life. Doing this first thing in the morning will help
you feel better immediately and begin your day on a positive note.
On days when you are feeling down, take out your “gratitude journal”
and reread it. Doing this simple exercise will make you feel better almost
immediately.
Forgiveness
Even though this may seem cliché but we can never get enough of the
phrase “never give up”. It motivates us to reach for the stars and no
matter how hard it is, we continue the job until it is perfected. Thomas A.
Edison said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t
work.”
Think of God’s wonderful creations and all the beautiful things in life.
Life is magnificent if we look at it from a brighter perspective. It’s not
meant to be about work, stress or depression. These things happen only if
we let them happen. It’s not anyone else’s fault because you let it happen.
Happiness starts within.
Perseverance
All things will come round to him who will but wait. You may be
disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. When
something starts to bother you, wait as long as you can before you
express frustration. Focus on someone or something that ordinarily
makes you lose your patience and try to understand it. Whatever happens
in life, face and accept it.
Write your problems down if it makes you feel better. When you look
back at your entries, you’ll either realise that your previous problem
seemed so petty now or you had finally overcame that problem you had
and you’re ready to tackle a new one. Besides that, relaxing or motivating
music will definitely perk you up.
Many inventors were first frustrated when using the wrong resources for
their inventions but when they imbibed the right information with the
right attitude, their inventions became known and they became
inventors. Money, wealth, riches, good quality of life, flashy cars or big
houses etc. whatever is it that drives you to acquisition of anything is not
the greatest achievement in life but the right attitude to everything and
everyone in life. As we embark on this new journey this week, let us
adopt the right attitude to our friends, neighbours, colleagues, workers,
employers, businesses and to everyone we come across, every relationship
or friendship we find ourselves in and more importantly our relationship
to our maker, our creator, the one who moulded us out of nothing, HE
has made us somebody out of nothing, record how far your positive or
negative attitude takes you this week and determine to change the world
around you.
