Attitude Is Everything: Discover Why You Are What You Are

Actually, there is a world of difference between who you are and what you are. Who you are defines your personality; what you are, is simply a product of your personality, and personality is a synthesis of your pattern of thinking and your behavior which then make up your attitude. That’s why we say that attitude is everything. What is Attitude? With respect to the afore-mentioned facts about personality and all its associates, attitude generally refers to one’s way of thinking and behavior towards a particular thing or person. Thus, what will become of you is directly formed by your attitude. This is because what you think goes along way to affect the way you handle or respond to issues of life. Moreover, your behavior is born out of your thinking pattern. For instance, if you have a lazy mindset, you will act it out in your activities. By so doing, you will always have low performance or output. Gradually, we are arriving at this point that attitude is everything. There is a saying that proves this maxim. I would like to state it thus that your thoughts dictate your character, your character dictates your habit, and your habit forms your lot in life, that is, what eventually becomes of you. Except you learn to keep a positive mental attitude, you will unconsciously depreciate in value and performance. May I tell you that to be in poverty does not begin with lack of money. It is first a state of mind. If it is in your mind, it will show in your life because the whole of your behavior and activities will tend to that state. You need positive attitude to act right. When you are right, life will be bright for you. So, to have negative attitude is the worst thing you could do yourself. In fact, this subject of attitude is the major factor that differentiates the different classes of people in the society. How are you handling your studies? How are you handling your career? How are you handling your marriage? How are you handling your business? How are you handling your finances? Clearly, every facet of life is subject to attitude; and attitude is everything. So, if you can answer these questions, you can weigh your attitude and where it is driving you, either to success or failure. If things are wrong in your life, check yourself very well. You need a change of mind for a transformation in your attitude. Life is too short to be wasted!
