Your attitude will
determine a lot, we’ve all heard the glass half full or glass half
empty way off looking at things, both are the same thing, but are
vastly different as well. You have the ability to transform your
life and reach new heights of success and fulfilment. Whether at this
moment in time your attitude is positive, negative or somewhere in
the middle you can take control of your life and set yourself free!
Everyone has potential, the unfortunate thing is that most people go
through life and never realise or take advantage of this!
Firstly
you must visualize what you want - you the dreams everyone has –
unfortunately most people leave them as just that, dreams. The
second thing that you must do is see yourself in your dream
environment, and see yourself getting there. I can, I will and when
I are the things you must say rather than the negative version I
can’t, I won’t and if I! Don’t worry if you fall into a more
negative category – the good thing about attitude is that you can
learn and train yourself to have a positive one given a bit of time
and practice.
You’ve told yourself that it is going to
happen and now must talk about it by doing this you are making
yourself accountable and putting yourself under a little pressure to
make it happen! If you dream is to be on Millionaire Street and you
are currently in debt – you must realise that this dream is not
going to happen overnight in may take a few years – you don’t go
around saying you are going to be a millionaire by next Thursday
afternoon in three weeks time! Don’t set unrealistic targets
otherwise you may put yourself under undue stress and pressure to
achieve, which can be detrimental to your cause.
Attitude
isn’t everything – it is simply the first thing! Remember it’s
going to be action that actually gets you there and the attitude will
determine what pace that will be. You are the architect, the builder
and the benefactor of all your life’s endeavours. So when
something doesn’t go your way the first place to look is inwards.
You must ask yourself what you could have done differently to have
gotten a more favourable result, after this inward analysis is done
then you look at some of the external issues that may have been amiss
too.
Everyone has their fears; I don’t mean things like
scared of the dark or spiders etc. I am talking about fears to do
with success, for example, it might be something that you haven’t
learned to do yet, and you fear that you may fail. Remember that if
you don’t try you fail anyway, and if you do fail sometimes then
success is that much sweeter because you actually had to get over
obstacles to get to the end result.
In summary we’ll use
something interesting to illustrate a point. There are 26 letters in
the alphabet, A equals 1 and Z equals 26 working on that basis we
assign a number to each letter of the word attitude and add them up:
A(1) + T(20) + T(20) + I(9) + T(20) + U(21) + D(4) + E(5) = 100 -
100% Attitude!
Having a positive or
optimistic attitude helps you to achieve more for yourself than a
negative or pessimistic one. Visualise what you want, take action to
make it happen, overcome any fears and keep plugging away, remember
that tree that you see in your local park didn’t get that big
overnight. You can learn to train your mind, and over time you will
learn how to develop and maintain a positive attitude.
