People tend to think of an attitude as being simply positive or negative. However, there are infinite possibilities such as; warm, friendly, confident, determined, unstoppable, silly, playful, easy-going, outrageous, peaceful, open-minded, compassionate, optimistic, and all of their negative counterparts.
You can ultimately become very creative and experiment with different attitudes for different situations, which will lead you to being more powerful and effective.
Here’s the problem..... We often think it’s hard or impossible to change our attitudes, so we don’t try. The truth is that it’s easy to change your attitude, if you know how.
Another big problem is that we tend to think our attitude is born of the situation. We think our attitude is the right attitude for the way things are. Therefore, our attitude goes unexamined and unquestioned.
Almost everybody is guilty of this; however, our attitude is completely optional and flexible. It is possible to have any attitude in any situation, and there are no ultimate “right” attitudes for particular situations.
We also tend to think of our attitudes as part of our identities. We think, “It’s just the way I am”.
We tend to think of our personalities as static things. In fact, when faced with a new challenge or situation, we make split second decisions about how to respond, and what attitude to adopt, based on our idea of “Who we think We are”.
In this way, we perpetually re-create our attitudes, whether they are negative and disempowering or positive and self-empowering. While our personalities, and the attitudes that go with them, may appear to be somewhat static, they only appear that way because we keep making the same choices (often unconsciously) over and over again, moment to moment. The truth is that you can change “who you’re being”, and you can change your attitude, at any moment.
THE VERDICTS:
If you can’t change attitude of those who have benefited from BN (the current majority – the government stakeholders) then how would you be able to swing their votes to PR?
Chances you will still remain stagnant (maintain status quo) and accept “lost” even before the battle begin. So why bother campaigning for PR?
If you can’t change the majority but you have managed to change one or some then it is already consider effective and a success. There’s no perfect human after all.
If you’ve tried your level best to convert (change) them but failed it is not your fault. But what more important here is, you must be able to convert yourself first.
If you can’t Change yourself then how would you be able to change the world?
Positive thinkers are also positive leaders who believe in themselves and others.
• They are not negative and do not have pessimistic views.
• They are people who work hard and get things done.
• They take on new “initiatives” and/or “objectives” even when they are busy.
• They know they can accomplish good things.
• They are people with a positive mental attitude.
If things are not going well in your life, perhaps you need a change of attitude. It is not always easy to change your attitude if life has been handing you lemons, but it is possible to make lemonade. Make it sweet and tasty. It is difficult to keep positive if difficulties and hardships abound in your life.
But a “Change in Attitude” may be what is necessary to bring about the desired changes for happiness to return or to enter your life.
Everyone wants to be happy, everybody wants stability and growth, and an attitude change may be required for it.
Change your attitude and you automatically change:
Of course, YES! You can only do more, if you be more. You cannot feed the Hungry if you yourself are Hungry. You cannot help others if you yourself do not any strength and/or solution. That’s the way life works. Don’t go looking to correct others when you yourself are faulty.
In Matthew 7.5 Jesus Christ mentions, “First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
And how does one take care of himself first? Through personal-development; you have to increase your knowledge, absorb the knowledge, learn the knowledge, apply the knowledge in your life and finally, teach others. That’s how you increase your value to the society.
We can change the world, one person, and one vision at the time, starting with each of us. As we shift our awareness of what and how we are creating we form a more enjoyable reality for ourselves and for others to interact with us in.
Our choice is simple, it’s even easy. We need only to change ourselves and everything else changes too.
Lastly, if we can forgive others God has promised, “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more” (Doctrine and Covenants 58:42).
Thank you.
