Your attitude is the one thing you have complete control over in every life situation, so always make sure it’s a positive one. What’s not realized, is the first thing anyone notices when first meeting you is your attitude, which determines what they say to you.
This could be at home, work, or in society. Also know the one thing no one can change in you is this attitude, it’s in your control.
Keep this in mind, as what you always need to do is keep it in check your attitude, and adjust it accordingly.
What you mindfully need to monitor on a daily basis, is how you come across. Always make sure you’re projecting a positive one at all times. Know attitude, is how your life ends up.
Once you force yourself to think happy thoughts, you’ll then be happy. Once you think miserable depressing thoughts of doom and gloom, you’ll be miserable, and your poor attitude will show it.
Once you have thoughts of fear, you’ll feel scared. Once you think sickly thoughts of illness, you’ll come down with a cold.
If you constantly think failure, what’s certain is you will fail. What wallowing in self-pity results in, is everyone avoiding you.
Having A Good Attitude
This isn’t advocating having a “Pollyanna” attitude towards all your problems, as life isn’t that simple.
What’s proposed, is having a positive attitude rather than a negative one, remaining hopeful things will turn out in your favour.
Mental attitude, is the strength we hold in our minds. Know reality can be altered in our favour, by a single positive thought.
When it comes to nutrition, the adage isyou become what you eat. When it comes to leadership, it’s you become what you think.
Contrary to what most believe, outside influences shouldn’t determine your happiness or success. It’s instead how you react to these outside influences.
The key becomes controlling your reaction, when it comes to those external forces. What it takes, is giving your reaction conscious priority.
Becoming More Mindful
You know by now if something will go wrong, it will. Life is imperfect. Once things don’t go your way, keep everything in perspective, and relax.
When there’s chaos and uncertainty, what most will do is surrender and sulk, the masses will get cynical and panic.
What having a positive self-confident attitude does, is helps you achieve more. It forces everyone to be drawn towards you.
People want to associate with those who has an inviting upbeat outlook, to perk up their own drab lives. Those who constantly complain, are always avoided.
Developing A Positive Attitude
One of the key traits all leaders have, is they display a positive self-confident attitude under any condition. The thought of potential failure, isn’t an option.
Having a positive cocksure attitude, is the key to becoming a winner. This is similar to the confidence all successful professional athletes has.
Although their skill set may at times be inferior to others, it’s the constant positive attitude they display, rather than having a losers mentality.
Having this positive attitude, needs to be self generated and nurtured on a daily basis, protecting it from being sapped by negative influences.
This begins by aligning with those who has similar vision, while not allowing the “negative Nellie’s” of the world, to drain out your energy.
Always tap into this positive energy wherever you go, whatever you do. Mindfully use your determination, to always move yourself and your interests forward.
Avoid All Negative Energy
Everyone has bad days, when things just don’t go right. Once you’re spiralling downwards into a rut, change your routine. Do something that’s uplifting.
Once you see others falling into unproductive behaviour, immediately put a stop to it by addressing it. Never allow it to fester.
This begins by you actively listening, and addressing what they want. Often, by they just being heard, potential issues can be avoided, as everything gets back on track.
Injection Of Attitude
What successful leaders need to do, is constantly inject this positive behaviour themselves, as no one else usually will. Never count on others to do it for you.
At home, parents need to persistently be instilling a positive attitude in the household, in their children, otherwise chaos will ensue.
Everyone needs to wear this mantel, albeit reluctantly at times. This is however part of the responsibility of being a leader.
Always be improving your guidance skills, beginning with how you react to external situations yourself, especially the negative ones.
Then you can begin to witness the culture evolving around you, improving in your favour.
Always Associate With The Right People
Avoid associating with those who has a bad attitude. Your mindfulness and integrity won’t grow, unless you know the right people, those with positive attitudes to implement your growth.
Associate with those who displays a willing “can-do” attitude, who you know will fit into the spirit of your company. Skills can always be taught, but instilling positive attitude cannot.
Attitude Is Altitude
A key employee prerequisite, is they having a positive attitude. Attitude is the one thing, that can’t be taught. They either have a good attitude, or they don’t.
Hire those who shows spark, with the willingness to learn, as everything else can be trained. What successful employers will constantly tell you, is that attempting to instill positive attitude, is the one behaviour they can’t teach.
Looking Upwards
What a negative attitude will do, is pull you and your professional aspirations down. A positive attitude carries you over the rough patches, as it will energize you, lifting results to greater heights, this to match your vision.
Whether you need an attitude adjustment a few times a day, once a week or just occasionally, never forget that it’s your attitude, which determines your altitude. Never allow anyone, to bring yours down.
