Life is 10% of What Happens
When things aren't working the way you want them to, or you feel you're surrounded by problems, it can be tempting to look outward and try to change the things that you feel are causing issues. Chances are the issues you're facing aren't so cut and dry. The solution to the problem might just be your attitude.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.
"Allah lays not on anyone a burden they cannot bear" So true..........
Our attitude is like a billboard, telling the world at large exactly what you
Expect from them. If it's a happy, cheerful positive attitude, there is
Little doubt that that's what you will get back.
If it's sullen, dull and
Negative, there is likewise little doubt that's what you will get in return.
Success depends not only on your attitude toward others, but also on your
Attitude toward yourself.
Attitude is what holds us back or propels us
Forward. When things seem to be going well, it is easy to have a positive
Attitude.
It is when things are not going so well that keeping a positive
Attitude really makes a difference.
TFS! Having a positive attitude may not always fix your woes but will always make trialing times seem more bearable and happy times more jubilant.
At times of ease it pays to appreciate all your blessings and be happy for all you have and what you have achieved rather than grieving over what has passed you by. Enjoy life's highs..you are worth it!
And at times of hardship remember the saying“What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” or as we Muslims believe "Allah lays not on anyone a burden they cannot bear" When you realize this,any pain, no matter how harrowing, will appear far more endurable.
It's very difficult to keep yourself always with nice attitude bcz its sometime intentionally and some time unintentionally
It is hard to maintain a good attitude especially when things go wrong and out of your control, like lawa said it is like driving a car, but you can predict or a flat tire. We just have to remain positive because you never know that if it wasn't for the flat tire you could have had a worse accident.
When you are down, just look down because there are far more people who is really unfortunate, and we are just lucky than them.
guys we reflect what we feel but it's like a car in your hand and how you want to drive it .it's up to you but some time even we been careful but we met an accident
yes you cannot change the past but you can start all over again and this time make it the way you wanted it
again, Padre!
wow lawa ji after a long time...nice post
It is all too easy to say and not so easy to do. We all handle "misfortune" in different ways ..
Whatever the scenario is….you can always have an attitude as if nothing happened…...:) or do I care attitude..those people are really happy...nothing really effects them…
Yea, When you find that things are not going your way or is intentionally against you adopt a sage attitude and you will come out clean... BTW, Wonder what the OP has to say about it>>>>
True Tinker, In a hypothetical office politic scenario, the receiver will get the butt of it with or without a positive attitude, and if a new comer will be dammed if you do , will be dammed if you don't! Sadly, There is no one quick fix attitude one can adopt to tide over such negativity.
react on what ?
how you react ................?
