Chanakya Neeti says
that
“The attitude of a person
plays very significant role in his life. At instances he finds himself bound by
the wordily desires and with a slight change in state-of-mind he can also set
himself free.”
The line stated above clearly tells us about the importance of
having a positive attitude towards life. Here, by ‘Positive Attitude‘
I do not refer to some imaginary craziness where you expect the situation to
become favorable on its own. That will be something closer to the concept of day dreaming.
There exists a very huge difference between having a positive
attitude, just an attitude,
and having an unjust attitude.
It is true that thinking positively will make you feel better, but the real
issues is to make things better for you.
Putting your head below the
sand like an ostrich will only and only lead to bad results. The foremost
requirement will be to understand and fell the gravity of situation in which
you are. Any sort of biased thoughts will not prove beneficial.
Having hope that things will turn good at some point is indeed
a nice thought. Anyhow, it will remain a thought until you come up with
an effective action plan.
Hope must be your driving force, not some predefined assumption.
Traits of an Ideal Positive Attitude:
·
It is based on
reality, not on assumptions. You aim at doing good than feeling good.
·
You are able to
identity your strength as well as weaknesses.
·
Allows you to turn
your weaknesses into strength or in their elimination.
·
Provides you with a
very accurate calculation about your capabilities.
Logically there exists nothing such as POSITIVE ATTITUDE or
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE. It’s more about your approach and the way you stare at
things & situations around you. The secret lies in identifying
the ground reality.
Also, sometimes the situation is about being greedy. There is
nothing (or very little) to worry about, but the person finds it difficult to
search for peace. The problem as well as its solution lies in your attitude. ‘Greed’
is nothing, but ‘Over Motivation’.
A lot of online/offline
resources will tell you about significance of positive attitude and hazards of
negative attitude. I personally felt that those were missing this very basic
idea about accepting reality. So I shared it with hope that you will find it
beneficial. Thanks !
