How to Reach Higher Altitude With Positive Attitude

In a world characterized by upheavals, crisis, disappointments, depression and dejection, there is a need for every individual that wants to live, have fun and ultimately take the rightful place in destiny to be self-motivated and self-encouraged. This is because I have come to realize that to cross over from “mourning” to “morning”, it takes “U”, letter that distinguishes the two homophonic words in the English language. Whenever you are faced with any challenges in life, buck ultimately stops with you. The decision you take at any time determines where you will be the next moment and what happens to you subsequently.  It is therefore important to make informed decisions in life. In all these, a positive attitude in life is vital for higher altitude.

In order for you to make decisions in life, you may need to learn either from the mistakes of others or their stories. It is usually very costly to learn from one’s own mistakes. The mistakes or the stories of others help tremendously in determining the attitudes you will put forth when confronted with similar challenges. Attitude, yes attitude!

When exposed to situations others are confronting, in most cases, our first reaction is “If I were the person, I would have responded this way or that way? More often than not we tend to blame such people, especially if what befalls them is a misfortune. We blame those in power for not performing; we criticize those performing for not doing enough and, disturbingly, we attribute the causes of our misfortunes in life to what others did or did not do. This is the tragedy of the today’s world.

I have, however, discovered that we are where we are not only because of bad leadership, poverty, lack of education, lack of parents, lack of love from others, among other reasons we  may want to adduce, but because of what we do when we are faced with challenges in life. Do we react to situations or respond to them? If you have been reactive, then there is the need for a change. It is vital that you be responsive to situations; you  be positive-minded and see the inherent best even in the worst of situations. This is because even thorns have roses. Where others see difficulties, you must begin to see opportunities. All you need to do is to look within and think beyond. Remember, the future you cannot picture, you cannot capture. And to capture your desired future you must be conscious of the fact that attitude is not just everything, but the ONLY thing. It is your attitude that determines your altitude in life. A positive attitude equals higher altitude.
