The Power of Having a Positive Attitude

Attitude actually is mental energy and from the moment you are awaken in the morning until you fall asleep at night, you are continuously generating this mental energy or attitude. If You think about it as an electrical energy, it will lead you to understand that like electrical energy, your mental energy can only be one or two things, either positive or negative. There is never a time when you can have neutral attitude. Your attitude right now is either positive or negative. And like electrical energy your attitude or mental energy is magnetic whatever your attitude is ‘in any given moment determines exactly what you are going to pour into your life, for example, if right now you have a positive attitude, you’re drawing out the positive. If your attitude is negative in any given moment the only thing you can draw from a person is negative qualities of their personality and character. It is absolutely magnetic.

When your attitude is positive you draw towards you opportunities which are going to move you in a direction where you want to go. When your attitude is negative you push those opportunities aside and you draw towards you opportunities that are going to move you away from where you say you want to go and you know this on your own. You can’t have a positive experience, an uplifting experience when your attitude is negative. Whatever your attitude is, determines the experience in that moment.

“Your attitude determines your altitude”

For example, as a plane is in the air it has an altitude indicator and that altitude indicator tells the pilot, which direction the plane is going, Up or Down. Just like the plane we too have altitude indicator and you’re the pilot of your plane. The feeling that you gain when something is wrong or what you doing was not right does our altitude indicator. We all have an attitude in our thinking which determines our eternal destiny. Another example i’ll give you is about two twins. One was always positive. He was everyone’s favorite, he was kind to everyone and helped anyone in all the ways he could he loved himself in others. He felt happy about life in the way he was living. He was blessed with many great things and the other Twin was just opposite. He was angry all the time, he did foolish things, he was not happy for himself and Not blessed and mostly he saw no meaning to life therefore he committed suicide. That’s the difference between positive attitude and negative attitude.

Now, ask yourself that which one of the twins are you? Are you the positive one or Are you the negative one? Positive takes you up and negative brings you down. So, if our attitude is positive, pointing towards God and doing heavenly things than we’re going up than we feel happy about ourselves. We become humble and wiser. But if our attitude in our thinking is negative in this world, than we are going down. Than our actions become negative and we’ll become depressed, we see life as meaningless but always remember that enemy (sin, lie, kill, depression, addiction, lust, envy, suicide) wants you to go down. The enemy wants you to be depressed, the enemy wants you to kill yourself.

So what we need to watch our thinking and our attitude because that determines our destiny. There is a saying and it goes like: “What you think is what you are and what you set your mind on is what you’ll become.”

Attitude is a matter of choice

Attitude, it not only affects our outlook on life but also the success of our future. Every single one of us has tremendous potential. We all have that t desire for good results in excess and the one thing that determines our potential and predicts its outcome is our Attitude. It decides the size of our dreams and influences our determination when we face with new challenges and the thing is, no one can control your attitude but you. I mean, people can affect your attitude but no one can control it unless you surrender that control. No one can make us angry, we make ourselves angry when we surrender that control of our attitude and when people do things to anger us all it does is, put our attitudes at test. We have that choice every morning about what kind of attitude we gonna have for the rest of the day. It’s up to you.

“Weakness of attitude becomes a weakness of character “

Elbert Einstein

Attitude is everything. To begin with every problem is an adventure. It all begins with a problem. To fall, rise and try again that is what we call adventure and that’s the real fun of life. Failure is not a bad thing but it’s another chance of success. The only way to reach your goal is to never give up.

If you stop trying the problem will not stop coming and then you will become A sure-shot failure. But making it an adventure will make you fight. If there is no problem there is no growth. Growth means to overcome a problem. That is life. Dreaming to become successful is not enough. There’ll be a lot of things you hate doing but you have to do them all and that’s success. You’ll be fearless. True learning is that “Every problem is an adventure”.

If you can learn anything you can do anything and if you can do anything you can get anything. There’s nothing you can’t do. And all of it is done with the type of attitude you use...Positive attitude will lead to Success and the negative one will draw you towards failure.. attitude is everything.

“Life is 10% what happens to you. And 90% how you react to it.” – Charles R. Swindoll

Your attitude is your own personal filter for every-thing that happens to you, around you, or within you. What takes place in this world is not as important as how you view it.

You cannot choose what will happen to you. You cannot guarantee success and happiness for yourself. These things are out of your control. You can, however, choose how you feel about these things, about how you respond to these situations.

With a positive attitude, you will have the ability to be happier each and every day, make others around you happier, and live a good life. Below are seven tips that can help you keep your positive attitude going.

1. Put things in perspective

When you find yourself getting fed up and your mood is taking a turn for the worse, take a step back and put things into perspective.

Is the stress and frustration really worth it? When you look at the bigger picture, don't they seem a bit insignificant? They should, because nine times out of ten the daily problems we face are not really that important when we take a look at life as a whole.

You are alive, you have food, shelter, and freedom. These things are reason enough to smile when you wake in the morning.

2. Have something to look forward to

You are expecting something in the mail. Each day you run to the mail box, filled with excitement and anticipation. And then, finally, it comes!

People love to look forward to things. Some say that anticipation of something happening is better than when it actually happens.

We all have special events that are coming up. Holidays, birthdays, vacations, weekends, etc. Keeping these in mind will give you something to stay excited about.

3. Help others

There is no better way to forget about your worries than to help someone else with theirs. When you take the focus off of yourself, and give your attention to helping people, your attitude will change dramatically.

This tip not only includes helping friends and family, but also volunteering to help those in need whom you may not know. When you give of yourself, you'll receive tenfold in return.

4. Take a break

There are times when the only solution is to get away from it all. If you know that you are in a negative mood, or have been in low spirits for some time, take a break. It could be just what you need.

Taking a break can vary from a short trip in your car, to a vacation in the Bahamas. A walk around the block, or a leisurely drive around the neighborhood can also work wonders for your mood and attitude.

5. Talk with a positive friend

Talking things out can help you see the good in a bad situation. Call a friend and tell them about your problem, or just chat about any topic that comes to you. This is a very therapeutic and effective cure to a rough day.

6. Life is short

One thing to always remember is that life is short. The worst thing would be to look back on your days wishing you could have been happier. Now is the time to take a good look at your attitude and make the necessary improvements.

Days, weeks, months, and years have a way of rushing by. Don't let them pass while you are in a negative mood about life. A positive attitude is worth the work, effort, and change that it takes to create it. Look back with no regrets, only happy memories.

7. People have done more with less

A common cause for a poor attitude is the feeling that you are in a situation that is just too hard to deal with. Perhaps you don't have the job you want, or you may have a boss that drives you crazy. It may even be more serious than that. You may be too young, too old, too tired, too unlucky, etc...

Conclusion

Many people from all over the world have overcome obstacles, solved problems, and maintained a positive attitude through the most trying of times. If they can do it, so can you.

The power of a positive attitude is always within your reach. You simply have to extend your hand and grab it. Use the tips above to gain a great attitude, and to make your life happier, healthier, and wealthier.
