positive from a pair of walking legs, the foot that is forward has no pride and
the foot which is behind has no shame, they both know that their situation will
change.
An Abstract from magazine Yog-Manjiri by Dharamveer
Attitude
is the way we think and respond to life. It is our physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual approach towards life. Right attitude is one of the most
important tools towards self-actualization and self-empowerment. It is even
more important than money, knowledge and education. Attitude can
single-handedly make or break a person, a team, an organization, a home or a
relationship.
In
life, misfortunes happen. It is not what happens to us but we deal with what
happens that makes the difference. Life can be seen as an up and down ride.
Most of us only want to experience the ups, so we go around complaining about
the downs, not realizing that the downs can be “blessings in disguise”. There
is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big
difference. The little
difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or
negative.
Positive
attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings
optimism into your life and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative
thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes
in your life and make you happier, brighter and more successful.
With
a positive attitude we see the bright side of life and expect the best to
happen. Whole life becomes filled with light. This light affects not only you
and the way you look at the world but also your environment and the people
around you.
Negativity
can take terrible toll on our brains, our energy, our relationship, ultimately,
our health. That is why choose to be positive.
Being
positive does not mean that bad things will not happen to you. It does not mean
that you will not face some incredible challenges. It simply means that you will
have a much greater chance of succeeding at everything you experience. I have
overcome some incredible challenges through my life and learnt many lessons
along the way. Each challenge I faced, whether won or lost, helped me prepare
for the next challenge.
As
a Mechanical Engineer, I worked in different positions with a reputed
Automobile Spring Manufacturing firm at Mumbai. Just 20 years ago, I faced my
greatest challenge. I had serous condition of ULCERATIVE COLITIS resulting
acute diarrhea and I used to pass 8-10 loose motions (uncontrollable) and it
continued for 4-5 years.
The
eminent doctors of Delhi and Mumbai were part of my life and in the end, I was
operated for ILLEOSTOMY in 1990. The good news is: it is that miracle that I am
here today. I had a lot of time to think during the minutes, hours, days, weeks
and months I spent battling with my colitis. I now use the lessons I have
learnt to inspire others to believe in themselves, be their own greatest fan
and achieve things they never even thought were possible.
Since
I am living proof of what ‘A Positive Attitude’ can do, I am now on a mission
to share my secrets with as many people as I can. Adopt 10 steps that would
augment a Positive Attitude in a natural and stantaneous way. I promise, you
shall rear a positive outlook towards life and all its happenings.
These ten steps can be
taken by any one, at any time, at any place:
Take
Responsibility – For yourself your life is
to live, and to live lively. It is your responsibility to define yourself and
ensure your own happiness. Think that you could do to earn that merit. Do good
and be good to yourself as well as to others.
Choose
Your Attitude – Happiness does not just
happen or appear. You will be happy when you decide to be happy. Deciding to be
positive means deciding not to
be negative. Fill your world
and your mind with things that refresh you to stay positive and make you feel
good.
Learn
From Every Experience – There is a lesson to be
learnt in every experience, every encounter and every person. Appreciate and
imbibe the lessons learnt as part of your personality.
Live
Like A Child – Never lose your joy.
Believe in yourself and in your possibility to be child like. The average child
laughs over 400 times each day. How many times a day do you laugh? Learn to
laugh and you will be more positive and happy.
Believe
That You Are Incharge of Your Destiny – No one can take your dreams from you except yourself. Life is
what you make of it. There is no limit to how much you can accomplish in life
and the way you could do it. Cherish
your mission till your last breath.
Accept
What You Cannot Change – There are many things in
our life that we can and should change. There are others that you cannot
change. Face them bravely. Some things may be beyond your control and decide it
is time to let go and move on.
Be
Always First – Take the first step to
make the first move. Why wait on others lest miss some incredible
opportunities, experiences, and friendships? Be the first one to smile, to
speak, to ask, to apologize, to compliment, to reach out, to help.
Be
Grateful – Learn to be always
grateful for what you have achieved in your life. Don’t forget to be grateful
as it is the key to positive way of life. A positive attitude attracts positive
actions. Gratitude attracts positive energy.
Never
Ever Quit – Keep learning, keep
experiencing, keep trying, keep striving, keep setting goals. Quitting them
could be frustrating. Thus, never ever quit your dreams.
Live
For Today – Today is the only thing
that is truly guaranteed and you will never have it again, so make it memorable
and make it count. The end is
really the beginning, that should not ever cease.
Life
is a challenge and there is no age bar to learn and improve. At 63, I am more
active than what I was at 50. I have had major surgery. I have severe3 backache
problem too, but what keeps me going is my Positive frame of mind, a strong
will and above all Grace of Almightily God. The world has become for me a
better place than it used to be.
Be strong enough
internally and ensure that Positive Attitude becomes part of your lifestyle.
Take a decision to improve the quality of your life. Therefore, program your
mind with a Positive Attitude to enjoy the journey.”
