Your Attitude Perception

This critical success factor, I am about to share with you, has brought you to where you are right now. Your attitude perception can seriously effect the outcome of your future. Your dream building and goal setting will be very difficult if not impossible to achieve if you get this wrong.

You may not like this, but I have to tell you that, you have right now exactly what you want. This is because you have exactly what you spend your time thinking about. Everything that you think and do, you do because somehow you think it will make you happy. All your thoughts and choices you have made up to now has given you exactly what you have right now. In other words you have chosen to be where you are. Therefore you need to except that only you have control over your attitude perception.

With this new understanding you must draw a line in the sand and except total responsibility for your own actions. You can no longer allow yourself to blame anyone else for where you are and what you have. The choices you have made and going to make, the thoughts you have from this day forward will determine the level of success and happiness you will achieve.

Let me define attitude:

A personal feeling or belief that influences a person's tendency to act in a particular way. Attitude effects the choices that one makes.

I will now use a well known example that illustrates attitude perception. Take a glass of water filled up to exactly half way. Ask yourself,

The answer of course is yes in both cases. However, how you look at things in life can subtly have a dramatic effect. This is where having a positive thinking attitude or a negative attitude come into play.

Positive Attitude Tips

Your attitude perception can have such a dramatic effect on how you make choices in your life. I do hope you can see and take on this different way of thinking. Yes you can make changes in attitude.

To do this will involve a process of change. You also need to know that any changes come at the expense of pain. That is why so few people ever really change. But I would like to challenge you to that change to improve your attitude as the results can totally overturn your life for the better.

The next important issue in changing your attitude perception is to find a way of blocking all negative incoming thoughts. Think of them as the weeds in your garden. They need plucking out and throwing away.

As you know we are bombarded with negative thoughts from all directions, every day. You need to find your own technique to block out these bad thoughts before they effect the way you think.

The way I found was to have an imaginary garbage can. When a bad thought comes my way I quickly take off the imaginary lid, throw the bad thought in and quickly put the lid back on before it effects me. You must find your own way that works for you.

To be even more effective you might consider cutting out all newspapers. After all you know that only bad and negative news sells papers. Also cutting out TV soaps that are too close to life but paint a bad picture that can subconsciously effect your attitude perception.

Now you may ask, what about all the negative thoughts that have already entered your mind. I am sorry to say that you can not get rid of them but you can dilute them.

Think of a field of freshly sown wheat where the shoots are growing but all you can see are weeds and wild poppies. But as the wheat grows and gets stronger, it over powers the weeds and poppies. They are still there but cannot be seen for the matured field of wheat. You can also dilute the negatives by only letting in positive thoughts.

So by now I hope you are beginning to see how your attitude perception can effect how you think and what you do and the choices you make. It is important to understand that changes that I hope you will start to make will take time. It will not be easy but it will be worth it.
