Positive Attitude Has Got Power to Solve Your Financial As Well As Personal Problems

What is attitude?

We quite often discuss about this human characteristic called attitude.  For instance, He has a good attitude, You really need to change your bad attitude, You can’t go ahead with this attitude, You really need to get rid of your attitude problem and shape up, She has got real attitude, etc… etc.

Ever wonder how we are able to comment on somebody’s attitude just by glancing at that person or just by having a small talk of 10-15 minutes?

Its because a person is made up of what he thinks and it reflects when he comes in contact with other people. Its human nature to sense attitude of other humans.

In psychology, attitude is a psychological construct, a mental and emotional entity that inheres in, or characterizes a person. They are complex and an acquired state through experiences. As per Oxford’s dictionary, Attitude means ‘A settled way of thinking or feeling about something’, ‘a position of the body indicating a particular mental state’, ‘Truculent or uncooperative behaviour’, ‘Individuality and self-confidence’. So, an attitude comprises of both positive and negative characteristics.

Every person, as per his or her own mental perspective has habit of seeing the world. Some people see through the filter of optimism (the sheet is full white except one small black dot) while other see through the filter of pessimism (the sheet is not fully white, it has got one black dot).

Now, coming back to the title, it should be emphasised that our financial success in life begins and ends with our attitude. Its only through optimistic or positive attitude that we start working on the things available at our hand and everything else falls into place since our universe really conspires to make us achieve anything we want to have if we are making best use of the things or opportunities available.

Attitudes are a secret power working 24 hours a day, for good or bad.

Is only positive attitude sufficient?

No, not at all. But it is through positive attitude only that we start looking at the things positively and get positive results by unlocking other principles of success. When we learn to keep our attitude window smudge free, the light comes pouring in and we can use these empowering principles to earn more money, have more satisfying relationships, increase our spiritual awareness and reach our full potential. When we combine a positive attitude with the other success principles, we become unstoppable! 

Whether you think you can — or think

you can’t — you’re right!

— Henry Ford 

The above quote of Henry Ford is enough to make us understand the real power of our attitude, our way of looking at our surroundings and its consequences.

How can one improve his/her attitude?

The answer is ‘Nurture your mind with great thoughts’. If you constantly think about one particular goal, then you’ll take steps to further that goal and will keep moving forward unless the goal is achieved. It’s because thoughts initiates action. One cannot have positive attitude and positive thoughts overnight. It is an exercise to be repeated unless turned into habit. A little bit just don’t get the job done. Your results in every area of your life reflect your attitude. Consider your finances. What are your beliefs in this area? Are you constantly thinking about not having enough money? Dwell on that attitude (a lack of funds) and you block the flow of money to you.

With positive attitude comes the following powers:

The power to never quit

The power to turn problems into opportunities

The power to confront your fears and grow

The power to attract positive people on your path

The power to manage your surroundings

The power to think and dream creatively

Change your attitude and your life will change automatically.

Do we feel good when we meet people with the positive attitude and feel bad when confront people with bad attitude?

The answer is absolutely yes. Think about that person whom you confronted in the morning and got to hear a joyful ‘Good Morning’. You definitely would have felt really good and would have answered the same way for sure. Think about a classroom where students are cheerful and a classroom where students are sleepy. Why two different situations? Again the attitude of the teacher and the teaching style.  That is why it is said that one can achieve desired results by changing his attitude.

 So, from this point forward, choose your thoughts wisely and use this powerful principle to get fantastic results in your life! Go and grab the power of your thoughts, your attitude.
