Today's
Meditation:
How
many times do we read that our own attitude determines
much of our success or failure in life? And how
often do we actually act on that principal, actively
attempting to adjust our own attitudes to make them more
positive and to give ourselves more opportunities for
success in the many different areas of our lives?
How often do we "go forward in joyful
confidence" rather than feeling unsure or unconfident
about what the future holds for us? In my life, it's
taken me many years to change my perspective to allow for
a positive attitude almost all the time, but the results
have been truly amazing.
If
I wish to be successful in my own endeavors, then one of
the key elements of success for me is the attitude that I
bring to whatever I do. If I keep in mind always
that I was made for success, then I can keep my attitude
positive, and I can focus on the potential and possibility
of virtually every situation rather than seeing always the
limitations and improbabilities.
If
I hold up my head, I'm telling the world and myself that I
am a worthwhile, valuable human being who was made to do
well in this world. I am a valuable member of the
human race who deserves the best there is, and I am able
to work towards achieving the best there is. My
attitude helps to determine just what I pursue, and
personally, I pursue things like peace of mind, peace of
heart, financial well-being (not riches), and strong relations with
other people.
What
you pursue is up to you, but even more important than that
is HOW you pursue it. If you go forth with your head
lowered, unsure of what you will achieve, then you may
surprise yourself and achieve it sometimes, but this
attitude reflects a mindset of limitation and
improbability. If you hold your head high and know
that you are a valuable person, then your mindset of
success and abundance will help you to achieve-- guess
what?-- success and abundance!
