ATTITUDE IS
EVERYTHING!!
Recently I
was reading a book written by Jeff Keller named “Attitude is Everything.” In
the book, the author describes the power and authority of achieving a
successful mindset. Success in life is not achieved by chance or merely by
luck. It is achieved by a continuous disposition of mind over matter. It Is
achieved by the application of the right attitude towards life.
The journey
to accomplish your goals and purpose in life begins with the right mindset. It
all starts with the thoughts. If you can control, manage and align your
thoughts in the right direction, you’re creating a massive potential well in
you to learn from crucial opportunities and difficult times in life. Why are
some people depressed, frustrated, ill-tempered or sick all the time even after
they have achieved everything in life that a person could aspire for? On the
other side of the coin, there are people who are always calm, composed, happy,
motivated and sickness-free although they may not have acquired any riches? Why
is it so? It’s all because of the one word, “ATTITUDE”
Attitude determines Action:
There are
some people who always handle tough and risky situations calmly and with ease.
Their actions are the result of the attitude in the mind. Some people believe
too much in things like “overnight success”. I don’t believe such a thing exist
in this world. Every successful person has some tough, horrible and daunting
stories which if they tell you, you would never believe in. It’s a result of
keeping in company with right attitude or stable mindset in those tricky
circumstances in life where everything seems to be shaky and falling apart and
nothing seems to work for you.
It is in those little moments that successful
people pick up their failure and turn it into a testimony for the whole world
to appreciate and admire them for the things you never thought of. It’s an old
saying that a person’s thoughts and attitude determines their conduct and
action towards a particular situation. And therefore, if you need to know the
Attitude of a person towards life, then just observe their actions. The kind of
things they do will tell you about their thoughts The kind of books or
magazines they read, people they spend most of their time with, movies they
watch and music they listen to determines their mental conditions.
Your
attitude is your window to the world through which you perceive things.
Therefore, it is your responsibility as an individual to keep that window clean
so that you can see through it clearly and distinguish between right and wrong.
Cleaning your Window:
If Attitude
is your window to the world, it is necessary to keep it clean. It is important
to consider the fact that every person on this planet has certain pattern of
attitude which makes them different in their approach towards life and
circumstances differently.
However, in
the beginning it was not so. All of us are born with our windows clean but as
we go through the different stages of life, it gets cluttered, filthy and foggy
because of mishandling by some people! And that is because of the kind of
culture prevailing in the society in which we live in. When we are born, we are
like a clean sheet of paper and the culture that we live in, decides what
should be written on that paper. Therefore, the culture we live in makes and
shapes our attitude and is largely responsible for the accomplishments or
failures that we experience in our life.
I am not
going to tell you any steps on how to change your attitude for success or
mention a few bullet points because unless you apply those things into your
life, nothing won’t change. You can find those things on the internet. But the things
that I am telling you are based on practical thinking and then applying it in
your lives.
You can
listen to all the motivational stuff as long as you want but you know the
reality that you’re not gonna change by that. You can only change your life
once you discover who you are! Only the truth about yourself can reveal your
true potential to you. Nothing and nobody else can tell you that. You have to
find it yourself. Once you find that, I am sure that you don’t any external
source of motivation to do what you want to do. It’s not like listening to
motivational music that charges you up for some time and the next day, you are
dead again! You do not need any motivation to do what you want to do and
achieve what you want from life, just set your target with a vision, plan for
it and once you have done that then the execution should be ruthless!
Your life
cannot change unless you change the way you look at the world and change your
attitude towards tough & turbulent times in life’s journey. Most people
look for some motivational stuff to get them fired up to do what they want to
do. But somehow they don’t understand this very subtle art of changing their
mindsets. We waste most of our time to look outside so that we can get successful
but in that process, we don’t even realize that whatever we need to fulfill our
purpose is already within us. All we need to do is CLEAN UP THAT WINDOW!
