Developing An Overcoming Attitude

Developing An Overcoming Attitude

The disappointments of life can cause you to see nothing but negativity in life. You find yourself expressing hopelessness, belittling your own abilities, refuse to take any risk, saying no to personal growth opportunities, complain about the unfairness of life, and say that nothing you do will make a difference in a particular situation. Do you recognize any of these traits in yourself? Attitudes are simply nothing more than habits of thought and habits can be acquired. An action repeated becomes an attitude realized.This means that with practice, you can develop an overcoming attitude. This can be done in the following ways: (1). Be honest about your quest to conquer pessimism. Allow someone you have respect  for to point out when you are being negative. (2). Limit your exposure to negative input. Since you become like the company you keep, look for people who fortify your faith and not feed your fears. (3). Volunteer to serve others who are less fortunate. Serving creates positive feelings and gives you a sense of value. It's also the right thing to do. (4). Seek out the good in every situation and always express faith that it's there! When you face difficult  situations on today, look at them  as an opportunities.
