Life is an attitude.

I took this from a friend's blog, who attended a course titled "Life is an attitude" some time back. Here are her thoughts;

 

Attitude. What kinda attitude do we all have?
The heck-care attitude? The bo-chap attitude? The Kiasu, kiasi, kia-bo attitudes? Positive attitude? Negative attitude? Everyone of us can display any kind of attitude. Why we show attitude, be it good or bad, is largely due to our perception of things. How we interpret and how we choose to react to it.

We all know the logic of how we can choose to be happy or sad. We can choose to look at one thing positively or think the worst of it. We can all choose to smile at something or cry over it. To let go or bear grudges.

One of the many things I took from this course:-

TECHNIQUES TO STAY POSITIVE
Here are some techniques you may wanna try?

• When you meet a friend, instead of asking 'how are you doing?', ask them to tell you the bright spot of the day?
  
• When anticipating what lies ahead in a day, think about the good things that can happen.
  
• Refuse to worry about those negative elements in your life that you an do nothing about.
  

The course objective is to help working adults look at things beyond our control from another angle. To teach working adults that we can be happy even when things going wrong. To remind working adults that WE CAN CONTROL THINGS. For things we CANNOT CONTROL, do not control. Do not even think about it.

Same logic applies in life. I learn to dump all those negative thoughts or move away from people who possess negative energy. If a friend is out to hurt you by saying mean things or treat you badly, why keep such a friend? In the first place, that person may not have treated you as a friend, right? Instead of feeling sad and hurt, dump this friend because we are all worthy of friends who care and love us, not hate and wanna hurt us. :) So we control what kinda life we want. A happy life with people who loves you, or a miserable life surrounded by mean and hostile people you so-call friends? You decide.

 

End.
