HOW TO BUILD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE (2)

As a life coach I have seen that those who have poor and negative attitude always blame everybody and everything for their failure in life. As a human being it is your responsibility to take care of your front line. No matter your family background or educational qualification. You are the one to change and build a more positive attitude.

If you want to build and maintain a positive attitude, you have to consciously follow and practice these eight steps.

1.      Change the way you see things; look out for the positives. 2. Don’t procrastinate. 3. Always show gratitude. 4. Keep learning. 5. Build a positive self-esteem. 6. Avoid negative influence. 7. Turn your duties into fun. 8. Every morning start with something positive.

1.      CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS; LOOK OUT FOR THE POSITIVES. In dealing with different individuals you must understand that we are all unique and different. Do not try to compare two different persons.

Human beings are like gold or crude oil. Before you can get a pure gold or petrol from crude oil you have first of all refine it.

If you are looking for gold you must meet so much dirt on your way but because you know that what you are looking for is not dirt. You keep being positive until you get your gold.

2.      DON’T PROCRASTINATE. Procrastination is said to be a thief of time. Always do those things that you are supposed to do when you are supposed to them. Don’t joke with your class work or your house wok.

Do not for any reason waste your life in the name of I will do it someday. Shiv Khera says, “When people say I will do it one of these days, you can be sure it means none of these days.”

Mark these; life is not a dress rehearsal, we have got only one shot at life. So the stakes are too high never play away your life.

Benjamin Franklin said, “never keep what you should do today for tomorrow.”

Great people are those who try not procrastinate even when the temptations are high.

3.      ALWAYS SHOW GRATITUDE. We all like to be told thank you. In your everyday dealing with people make sure you the principle of saying thank you, I am grateful. Always find a way of showing those that are leading you that you are grateful for all they have done for you; even when you don’t want to.

Count your blessings not your troubles. Think about your parents, teachers at school and those you meet everyday who have in one way or the other touched your life positively. Tell them thank you.

Your friends, parents and teachers will love you more if you show a little sign of gratitude.

4.      KEEP LEARNING. Leaning is a journey not a destination. Nobody under this sun can say that he/she has come to final bus stop of learning.

If one stops learning he will grow lean. The person will stop being productive or profitable both to himself/herself and to others around him/her.

It is said that, “our minds are like a parachute the more you stretch it the more it gets open.”

You must know that learning has not taken place unless one behavior has changed.

HOW TO BUILD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

INTRODUCTION: Our behavior is generally formed when we are still growing up. At these our age now we can decide how to behave or live. Because, it is easier to acquire right or wrong attitude at our formative years.

Some people are very much fortunate to have formed a positive attitude when they were kids while some are not that fortunate. However, if you have formed a negative attitude, whether by design or by default and somehow you are hooked to it. Don’t be afraid or disappointed because you can choose to change it now and take up a more positive attitude today. There is nobody who cannot change hence that person has made up his/her mind to improve and become more positive.

HOW DO YOU BUILD AND MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE?

1.      Become aware of the principles that builds positive attitude. You must know that in this life there are principles for everything. Nothing in this world just happen like that. It is when the right principle for a process is applied the right answer will be gotten.

2.      Desire to be positive. Desire fuels success. It when we desire that we can acquire. You can’t receive what you are not desiring especially positive things. Just the way you get hungry get hungry to have positive attitude. Anywhere you see what will give you the right attitudes go after it without minding those who would laugh at you.

3.      Cultivate the discipline and dedication to practice those principles. This is where many of us fail. Everybody wants to be successful but very few want to be disciplined enough to get to their place of success. Little wander we have very few successful people on this earth.

In your classes how many persons make As, Bs? But majority make Cs, Ds and even Fs.

Do you know how many people that sits for JAMB and WAEC every year? Thousands; tell me how many of them make their papers.

Discipline and dedication will give you an edge over others in everything you do in life. In your family and in your class or whatever field you find yourself.

As a life coach I have seen that those who have poor and negative attitude always blame everybody and everything for their failure in life. As a human being it is your responsibility to take care of your front line. No matter your family background or educational qualification. You are the one to change and build a more positive attitude.
