“Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around”
-Leo Buscaglia.
If you have a poor attitude, and think you don’t have the potential to achieve your desire goal or don’t deserve to live your ideal lifestyle, you are already whipped even before you start, you must have read about someone who has far less potential than you and attain massive success, what is the difference; between you and this person “Attitude”
No one can prevent you from reaching your destination except you, so don’t be your own obstacle.
Attitude determines all the outcome of your life, whether you believe it or not.
This means if you want a better result than you have been getting then start developing a better attitude towards other people, towards the things you do, and towards life in general.
Most times, I realize having a positive attitude alone won’t get you everything you want in life, but if you have a great attitude your chances of achieving your desire goal will be higher.
You can begin developing an unstoppable mind-set by trying something new, at least for this week; treat everyone you meet, including your demanding boss, friends and co-worker with a smile and an enthusiastic greeting.
You may be saying how can I be nice to such person when he/she treats me so poorly?
“No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves” -Amelia Earhart.
The reason others behave towards us in a way we don’t like is because we haven’t been treating them the way we would want to be treated. So we often end up saying something like “If only other people would treat me better first, then I would take better care of them as well”.
This is like getting into your own car and saying “car take me to my house and I will put some fuel in you”.
Unfortunately this isn’t the way life works!
In life you must put the fuel in the car and kick start it before the car will take you home.
What this simply mean is that, if you want other people to treat you in a pleasant way, you must be pleasant to them first, doing so will encourage them to act towards you in the same or even better manner, don’t wait for others to be nice to you before you start treating them the same way, I urge you to start treating each person the way you did like to be treated starting from this moment.
