Today I want to share with you on one of the most critical elements that forms the basis of every human disposition.
Certain things define your personality, professional growth and fulfilment, one of which is your attitude. Your attitude defines your general approach to life and the way you do things, it influences your communication, your potential and consequently your success. As a result you can say the right things with the wrong attitude and therefore nullify and destroy the right thing you intended to communicate.
A lot of people are not necessarily saying or doing what is wrong, they just have the wrong attitude and approach. A lot of times we hear wrongly not because what was said was wrong but because we have the wrong attitude in listening.
Did you know that one of the reasons people find that they take one step forward and 2 steps backward is because of their wrong attitude. Majority of people with the wrong attitude hardly ever discover that they have a wrong attitude so they blame everyone around them about their loss, failure or disappointments. They think someone else is responsible for their misfortune and often no one is…
Your attitude can make or mar your career of business, it can define your personality or fulfilment…do you know they are people who are not fulfilled at home, always looking like they are in the wrong house. Same thing at work. You continuously find them constantly moving from one organisation to the other…they have got the wrong attitude but don’t know it. So they think those in the previous job is the problem. They always see their wasted years and blame it on the fact that it was somebody who failed to discover their greatness. They are the only ones who know how valuable they are but wonder why it is so difficult for others to see.
Attitude is the one thing all human beings have complete control of and yet many unknowingly choose a negative attitude, as a result, they veer off on a downward spiral destroying everything they have spent their career building. If we understood the power of our attitude in our lives, most of us would change it immediately. How many times have you been told to change your attitude? That is a common order from most parents and teachers!
Attitude are by-products created by your thoughts, feelings and actions. They are controlled by your mind which decides whether these feelings will be positive or negative through your thoughts. Your body then follows these thoughts through with actions and behaviors. It sounds simple and straightforward doesn’t it? Yes it does, and it does simply because it is.
Through our thoughts, we create our attitude. This attitude is expressed based on how we internalize ideas in our mind and body and therefore moves into a new vibration of conscious awareness known as feelings. These feelings are then displayed through actions and behaviors that produce the results in our lives.
Attitude [Thoughts + Feelings + Actions] = Results
Imagine feeding our minds with positive thoughts and consequently following through the process with positive actions. We will end with positive results! Now imagine feeding our minds with negative thoughts and consequently following through the process with the associated negative actions. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
By changing our thoughts, we can change our attitude, which will ultimately change our results. Attitude is the creative cycle that allows us to feel a certain way and then take the necessary action to a specific result.
Start with the end in mind and make the decision that today is the day to change your attitude!
