The Power of a Positive Attitude: Transforming Your Life and Career
I'd love to start by defining what ATTITUDE really means.
What is Attitude? Attitude refers to a person's internal state of mind, feelings, beliefs, values and opinions that shape their behavior, actions and interactions with others. Furthermore, Attitude is a complex mix of Emotions, Thoughts, and experiences that basically influence how we perceive and respond to the world around us.
Well, we had our Soft Skills Meeting Tonight and i have never imagined myself feeling so sad after i reflected on my Attitude. Our Tutor made us understand how attitude can May/ Mar a person's Career, Relationship with people. Before sharing my experience on my Nonchalant attitude, i would love to share how Attitude can be.
Attitude can be:
Positive (e.g.., Optimistic, enthusiastic, open-minded)
. Negative (e.g... Pessimistic, cynical, resistant)
. Neutral(e.g... Indifferent, apathetic)
Attitude can affect various aspects of life including:
Our Relationships With People
Our Work Performance
Learning
Problem-solving
Decision-making
Overall well-being
while having a Positive attitude can lead to:
Greater resilience
Better Communication
Increased Motivation
Improved Relationships
Enhanced Overall well-being
A negative Attitude can lead to Conflict, Procrastination, Missed Opportunities, Strained Opportunities and Poor mental health...I will be shedding light on how my Negative Attitude made me lose awesome opportunities and how it has affected me so far while I was thinking I was not the problem.
I am sure we all know what attitude we have and are exhibiting. My Negative attitude has caused me getting annoyed at the slightest opportunity I get, Negative body language, Confronting Others, Jealousy and Too Defensive.
I must Admit that I don't always agree to be wrong to everyone, I get angry all the time even though I have a soft heart but the negative energy/ Attitude in me would not let it be shown to everyone.
The Truth about ATTITUDE is that it has the power to Lift up and Tear Down, Attitude are Subjective, Compounds when exposed to others, Bad Attitude compounds Faster than good ones and lastly Rotten attitude ruins everything. Everything we have always protected. I must admit i have made Grave mistakes and will be reworking it all and I feel you also have to let go of whatever negative attitude clouding your mentality, Let Love Lead always.
I have learnt my lessons and i do hope you learn yours in time. It is Never to late to Let go of all Negativity and be opened to all Positivity.
