We can develop a positive attitude if
we are willing to have positive thoughts instead of negative thoughts.
Oh, how we love to critique, it is
easy to be negative, judgmental and finding fault with everything, whining,
expressing our opinion, even when not asked for it. It is so easy and we all do
it. This habitual pattern is so ingrained in us as a learned behavior that it
will take serious, active, deliberate effort to deal and cope with it in a
planned, successful manner. Blame and finger-pointing are next, that is how we
opt not to really deal with the real issues of our negative thinking, the high
road and actually living up to our expectations is too much hard work, so we
continue in mediocrity and negativity. Excuses and whining are other defense
mechanisms that we put up to undermine our own efforts and trip up our progress
on the positive attitude forming and lifestyle fronts. Self-defeating behaviors
and setting ourselves up for failure without even trying (very hard at that)
all follow. We indulge and feast on our own negativity and then wonder why
things go so horribly wrong.
If we do not control and focus our
minds, thoughts, energies and mental patterns in a more positive way, towards
optimistic processes and outcomes, we will continue to reap spoilt, rotten
fruits. A genius’ solution short and sweet, best word of advice; STOP!
