Attitude!!

Attitude!


Is your attitude right? You are today what you thought about yesterday, you will be tomorrow what you think about today. Attitude could be said to be the way we think or feel about somebody or something. Attitude is either positive or negative. “In the game of life you can be up one moment and down the next, reason for this is the attitude we choose consciously or unconsciously” your attitude will determine you outlook on life and how you view the world-happy or sad, positive a situation to be disastrous, while another person may see it as an opportunity for trying out something new. The inner attitude you have about yourself will determine your level of success far more than the skills and training you have received. Your thoughts become your beliefs, and your thoughts determines where “good” (positive) or “bad”(negative) messages are sent from the brain to the rest of the body. There is a complex relationship between the mind and the body. The way you perceive yourself can give rise to feeling of joy, despair, anger, rage that can cause heart disease, asthma, ulcers etc.

We need to understand how our thoughts arise and are influenced; they come into the brain from what we hear, what we see, what we read and what we say to ourselves. Optimism and pessimism are learned attitudinal behaviors and they can be relearned. We need to constantly monitor our attitude to make our own corrections. Therefore examine yourself: what is your outlook on life.

Summary

• Attitude are more important than facts

• How you take it is more important than what happens to you

• Attitude acts as a selective filter affecting perception. We choose to see the best or worst in any situation.
