Though so many ideas of how to do things barrage us through so various means and different directions but all it takes to handle them and make some wise use of our time is to be selective and follow the needed instructions with open mindset.
It starts with our attitudes in virtually everything we come across in life and to the extents we allow them to have influence in us. A person's overall attitude may make or mar the opportunity, and that is why it is always good to wear positive outlook wherever we may be because we never can tell how that single smile could turn into a wide door of opportunities in a person's life.
We have it as a common knowledge that freedom is everything in life and nobody is ever happy when denied of it, no not even the animals are ever happy to be caged. When denied of this, we see the person acting in some strange ways and manner which affects his attitudes badly leading to so many other wrong ways of doing things.
Concerning this, a 19th century author, Victor E. Frankl, in his book, Man's Search For Meaning. Said this "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms -to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way". The late singer, Whitney Houston also, put it on her version, that "No matter what they could take from a person, that they could not take a person's dignity" that she said because when we are denied the freedom to act or do things the way we ethically believe it to be the norm, we are usually downhearted.
Many people sometimes wrongly assumes denial of freedom to mean being in prison only. No. Being imprisoned is only a slight of what denial of freedom is. Some of those in the prisons may actually be freer than most of us in the outside world so to say. Why? you may ask, it is because when we are restricted by some undesirable conditions, difficult conditions that we can't do much to overcome and express ourselves freely, we are often moved to malfunction like some tools used in working.
When we truly know and understand the enormous benefits of our mindsets, we would come to appreciate that it is the greatest asset we have, but having it does not necessarily make any different in us except we learn how to manage it well thereby putting it to good use for our own benefits and that of other fellow mankind.
The world re-known Surgeon and writer, Dr. Ben Carson in his book, Take The Risk, concluded it this way with a simple but this crucial question: "Do you have brain? he proceeds with this superlative answer, then use it".
In just a few words, what we are saying here is that, we have a whole lot with which our Maker has endowed us with to depend on instead of unnecessarily being tossed about by human philosophies and some misleading ideologies that could get some otherwise wiser individuals to waste their entire life in wrong pursuits that leads to nothing.
So guard your mind well because it is a terrible thing to waste it and become a parasite having to depend on others all through your life.
Another thing that one needs to avoid is a bad attitude. If you have a bad attitude in life, you'r in a cage because your potentials would be highly limited due to the fact that you will be repelling some otherwise good influences to your life.
When you have a good mindset, you can grow and affect others positively; by so doing, you could as well develop yourself and live your life the way it is meant to be lived and not to carry some heavy burdens that comes from having so many people that you are not in good terms with because your unpredictable attitude.
Again, your mindset will help you to achieve longer success because in whatever you do, there would definitely be some opportunity to endure, to bear, or withstand whatever comes up, only but a great mindset would help one to do that.
Did you fail in what you tried to do yesterday, a week ago or something like that? It may perhaps be a yearly thing that you tried and failed but nonetheless you needed it badly to move up in life with.
The only thing that will keep you going is nothing but a good mindset. In all you do, always make the most of the present situations and let the past remain what it was, the PaSt.
Always learn to make the needed adjustments and do not allow the bygone to hunt you if not you will remain where you are, thinking that you are making the necessary progress by repeating the same stories of why you could have made it if not because of one thing or the other.
To hell, with that!
Whatever your present achievement in life is, either big or small, do not forget to show gratitude, make sure that you do not become bigger than your sources of getting big in the first place-(words for the wise).
Do not overly decry the little you have to the extents of ignoring those who managed to help you get there in the first place. In both cases, it requires not necessarily money but simple actions which works in this ways:
1. It enables the ones who has made it to move progressively well up on the ladder of success.
2. It keeps the searching touches on for the lesser ones who are still struggling with the little that they has been equipped with.
In all, right attitude, good mindset and some daily improvement in one's relationship with God and your fellow humans would enable you achieve this.
What do you want in life? whatever it is, it has been said over and over again that attitude is everything and with with it you can surmount any obstacles; be it in marriage, in business, in the office, in the school and wherever. Make friends with those with some enviable attitudes in life and as you put the needed efforts to imitate them, in no time the result will be evident in your ways of life.
Please join the discussion if you wish, by adding further list that you know would improve the overall attitudes of people and the way we relate with each another.
