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...

Relationships; Character Matters

I believe one of the major indicators of wealth is not just good grades, success at work or high intelligent quotient, a key indicator of wealth is relationships. Ask yourself two questions; how many people do I know and in monetary terms, how much are they worth? If you sincerely answer those two questions you will know how wealthy you are. And because of how important your relationships are, either with your family, friends, superior, colleagues at work, and most importantly with your fiancée/fiance or spouse, You have to build your character. It is good for you to know that you shouldn't choose your friends especially someone to go into courtship with by choosing their reputation  over there character, as it is character that lays the foundation for a solid relationship. That's why in building character, both parties must be actively involved, that is, as the other is building his/her character you're building yours too. If one is building and the other is looking, the...

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...
