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.

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

House of Leaders or Warlords

As I ruminate on the ugly incidences that bewildered Benue House of assembly and the House of Representatives this outgoing week where law makers engaged in a free for all, I nodded my head in utmost dismay of what has become of the people we chose to lead us and make laws for us. This is not the first time we will be seeing something of such but every time it occurs it leaves a negative impression of incompetence, immaturity, clueless and law-less law makers on the heart of Nigerians and people all over the world watching. I'm not a political analyst neither do I want to become one but i'm an advocate of good 'leaders-in-a-ship' and I believe that what the nation deserves at this time is a way forward from where we are not engaging in blow throwing and cloth tearing. Leadership is not by occupying position, that is, you are not a leader by being in an office or by holding a post. Leadership is all about influence. Its all about the ability to transform a vi...
