Its all about 'attitude'

So what is attitude firstly?

Here's how Oxford dictionary defines Attitude;

Definition of attitude

noun

  • 1a settled way of thinking or feeling about something:he was questioned on his attitude to South Africabeing competitive is an attitude of mind
  •  a position of the body indicating a particular mental state:the boy was standing in an attitude of despair
  •  Ballet a position in which one leg is lifted behind with the knee bent at right angles and turned out, and the corresponding arm is raised above the head, the other extended to the side.
  • 2 [mass noun] informal, chiefly North American truculent or uncooperative behaviour:I asked the waiter for a clean fork and all I got was attitude
  •  individuality and self-confidence:she snapped her fingers with attitude
  • 3the orientation of an aircraft or spacecraft, relative to the direction of travel.


Positive or negative? To me, It's all based on what you take it as and what you think.. If something / someone makes you insecure or 'not so affirmative' then you will question things, object to change, that's human. And if someone /something builds your confidence, makes you feel good, you will be open to doing more, you'll feel free, that's what life is.. It's all based on our perceptions and evaluation of situations (which might not always be correct, but for that moment it generally is).

In every walk of life, one needs to find a way to build the trust and take baby steps in situations and opportunities that matters enough to you. And in the meantime things go wrong, they were always meant to go wrong - you can't prevent it. Do your best but don't cry about it, be happy it happened, happened now! Learn and live.. (Getting philosophical again, sorry.. :))

What's interesting is that we get different reactions to the same situation based on how it's said. Yes, it's not  rocket science but something to think about - Our behaviour actually influences our lives to such a level that we go up or down in our every day mood:


Which brings me to my next point, is it always just in our mind? And if it is, can't we all really do what we want to, fight the bad situations, come out strong and enjoy the good moments, be happy!
Leaving it at that...

Goodbye for now!
