摘要:“我们对生活的态度决定了生活对我们的态度。” 我们都听说过态度的力量,也知道正是我们的态度决定了我们在生命中会有多成功。 “Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us。” We’ve all
heard about the power of our attitude, and that it’s our attitude that
determines how much we succeed in life。 If you look around you, you will see that people with a positive attitude
enjoy life more and are generally happier and more successful than those who
walk around grumpy and pessimistic. Our attitude is the driving force in our
lives—it can either push you to do great things or pull you down to your
demise。 While it’s true that humans are born with certain tendencies or orientations,
our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and
experiences. Our attitudes begin to develop in childhood and constantly evolve
and change over the years through day-to-day interactions and
experiences。 All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and
interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these
factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there
is no need to worry as there is always an opportunity for change. Let me share
with you how I did
it。 5 Simple Things That Can Help Change Your Attitude 1. Identify and understand what you want to
change。 The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be
changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it
comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth
self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be
improved or totally
changed。 2. Look for a role model。 We all need to know that what we’re trying to accomplish can in fact be
achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find
someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her
life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary
failures in your journey towards becoming a better
person。 3. Think about how your attitude change will affect your
life。 To be able to hurtle through all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in
your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this
supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a
happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more
successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a
result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching
your
goal。 4. Choose the right company。 As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character。” You don’t expect yourself
to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess
all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new
people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards
life. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of
people as
friends。 5. Believe that you are able to change。 Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our
inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don’t believe in yourself
or believe that you or your life can change, it just won’t happen—you will
either never start, or give up quickly so you won’t have even given yourself the
opportunity to
succeed。 It cannot be denied that a positive attitude is very important for living a
successful and satisfying life, so it is only right to strive to have a positive
attitude. I have struggled with reforming my negative attitude as well, but over
the years, through persistence and self evaluation, I have managed to change for
the better. You can
too! |
