Monday Morning Motivation ; Attitude is Everything

Monday Morning Motivation (M-Cube)
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Attitude is simply a mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Simply put, it's the way we act due to the mental picture and belief system formed within us. This makes attitude a product of the mind; thoughts.

It is how you see the things around you, how you deal with the situations you face, and what you think about life. You've got to listen to yourself. If you sound like "God, my life is so difficult. I will never be rich... Everything works against me.... Everyone hates me...” then, you have a problem. Many times what hinders us from progressing in life and being the best is a negative attitude. A negative attitude is like a flat tyre, if you don't change it you're going nowhere.

Even though we can't control the obstacles on our ways, we can control our attitude. If you maintain a positive attitude no matter what the situation is, then you are on your way to becoming successful in life. Even failure has a lot of positive things in itself. You learn a lesson from your failure and every failure still brings you one step closer to your success.

Therefore as you step out this week, cultivate a positive attitude that attracts success and here's how to do that:

1. Listen to yourself
Start to listen to your thoughts, ideas, beliefs and commentaries. Every time you think something negative, think again. Try to find something positive in a situation. I believe in every situation there are two sides. Positive and negative. Try to focus on the positive one.

2. Get enough sleep
It seems obvious but many people don't get enough sleep at night. As a result they wake up tired and depressed. Right amount of sleep will boost your energy; you will be able to do things you planned to do without getting tired or overwhelmed.

3. Put things in perspective
If you find yourself getting stressed or frustrated take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Is your stress really worth it? Are your problems that big? Most of the time our problems don't seem that important when we take a look at life as a whole.

Your attitude is your choice. Every time you think about something or you want to do something, choose a positive attitude. It will always make your life happier and it will attract the success you are looking for. Your attitude not your aptitude determines your altitude in life.

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series.  I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply.  You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are.  Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...

Career Fulfilment

Many of us work an average of eight (8) hours a day five (5) days a week between the age of 18 to 65. The amazing fact about this is that we spend a total of 100,000 hours of our lifetime working. Can you then imagine doing something that doesn’t give you fulfilment? One of the keys to career fulfilment therefore is to enjoy what you're doing. It's burdensome to be doing what you don't like or created to do. It's totally frustrating and time wasting. And that's the reason many people are not productive in their work. When I said productive, I'm not talking about acquiring material possessions because even some that engage doing what they don't enjoy doing have been able to acquire cars, built houses and have the 'toys of life'. Productivity here is mind creativity; a sense of fulfilment, a sense of joy that comes from doing what you are wired or created to do.  This is the difference between those working to make a living and those working to make ...
