Famous psychologist, William James said: “one of the greatest
discoveries of my generation is that man can alter his life by altering the
attitude of his mind.”
Basically, there are two kinds of attitude we cultivate which
affect our life and destiny. There is the negative attitude and there is the
positive attitude. Whichever is dominant in our life will determine our
direction and destiny.
Whenever you encounter ruined lives, unhappy souls and people in despair
and you investigate deeply into their lives, you will discover that their negative
attitude is responsible for their plight. They may actually not wish to remain
in the negative lifestyle they are living, but their negative attitude keeps
them stuck in that mud of negativity.
On the other hand, whenever you find successful people, happy
souls, lively people, hopeful and optimistic individuals and you dig deep into
their lives, you will discover that these people have for long been maintaining
positive attitude towards life. As they maintain positive attitude towards
life, they remain on top of even the worst situations.
A Lifestyle that
Pays
A lifestyle that pays is a lifestyle that remains positive even in
the midst of adverse situations. And the secret of turning the worst situation
into great opportunity is to maintain positive attitude towards life.
Israel is a country that is not blessed with abundant natural
resources as other countries of the world. It has no rich deposit of crude oil,
no tin, no columbite, no bauxite, no coal, no gold, no diamond, and worse
still, its land is a desert land, unfit for agricultural purpose.
But you know what? Despite all these deficiencies, Israel is one
of the most prosperous nations on earth! What is the secret of Israel’s wealth?
I think the secret can be found in the statement of Golda Meir, former Israeli
Prime Minister. According to her, “All my country has is spirit. We don’t have
petroleum dollars. We don’t have mines or great wealth in the ground. We don’t
have the support of a world public opinion that looks favourably on us. All
Israel has is spirit of its people. And if the people lose their spirit, even
the United States of America cannot save us.”
The Israeli spirit which Meir talked about is their positive
attitude. WHEN YOU HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE, YOU CAN NEVER REMAIN
POOR. WHEN YOU HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE, NO DEFICIENCY OR CONDITION
CAN STOP YOU FROM GETTING TO THE TOP.
I have read about physically challenged people who become super
successful and are living large in the same world where able-bodied people are
finding it difficult to feed themselves. These physically challenged people
have every reason to end up as beggars. They have every reason to lose hope in
life. But they did not. Instead, they looked inward and discovered their
potentialities. With the potentialities, they rose above their physical
challenge and become super successful.
Israeli people did similar thing. They have no natural resources
to rely upon. They, however rely on their human resources. They have great
technocrats, democrats and experts in various fields of human endeavour, who
were positive-minded.
Their scientists, engineers and agriculturists turned their desert
land into fertile soil suitable for growing crops! This made Israel self
sufficient in food production and supply as well as in other products and
services.
To others, the desert land is a big problem that causes hardship
to the entire populace. To Israel, the desert land is a big opportunity for
them to turn it into fertile soil suitable for growing crops to feed the
populace and to also export to other countries of the world.
By the expertise of her scientists, Israel turned her desert land
into fertile soil for growing crops. There is a great lesson to learn from this
Israel story: IF YOU HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES OF THIS WORLD AND YOU DON’T HAVE
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE, YOU WOULD REMAIN POOR AND MISERABLE. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT ATTITUDE AND DON’T HAVE ANY TANGIBLE RESOURCES, YOUR RIGHT ATTITUDE WILL
LEAD YOU TO DISCOVER WAYS TO TURN ANY SEEMINGLY HOPELESS SITUATION INTO WEALTH
MAKING OPPORTUNITIES.
Secret to True
Riches
The secret to true riches is not in the amount of resources that
you possess. You don’t become rich because you have all the resources at your
disposal. The secret to true riches is in the right attitude you have towards
life. WHEN YOUR ATTITUDE IS RIGHT, YOUR WORLD WOULD BE RIGHT; WHEN YOUR ATTITUDE
IS RIGHT, WHAT OTHERS DON’T RECOGNISE AS A RESOURCE, IS THE VERY THING YOU WILL
USE TO CREATE ABUNDANT WEALTH FOR YOURSELF.
BUT IF YOU DON’T HAVE POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE, EVEN THE
ABUNDANT RESOURCES AT YOUR DISPOSAL WILL BECOME A BIG PROBLEM TO YOU. IF YOU
DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPLOIT THE ABUNDANT
RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE. It is either you mismanage your resources or you don’t
value them enough to exploit them.
A man with the right attitude, on the other hand, may not have
tangible resources, but he uses his intangible resources (right attitude and
thinking ability) to create wealth out of things that people don’t recognize as
resources.
You may not have tangible resources. You may not have money,
properties and natural resources, but if you are willing to use your intangible
resources – right attitude and positive thinking – you can create enormous
wealth out of situations that people call “hopeless.”
Turning Things
Around
The fact about life is that there are ample opportunities in the
midst of adversity and as a result of this, wealth can be created where there
seems to be no resources for creating it.
Tangible resources are great resources and if well exploited can
lead to wealth and prosperity. But tangible resources are not indispensable. In
the absence of such tangible resources as natural resources, wealth can still
be created. THE ONLY INDISPENSABLE FACTOR FOR WEALTH CREATION IS YOUR
INTANGIBLE RESOURCES. THESE INTANGIBLE RESOURCES ARE YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND
POSITIVE, CREATIVE THINKING.
Every man, every woman is blessed with these intangible resources.
You can think your way out of a situation and you can think your way into a
situation. Doubtless, Israel was confronted with a desert land that is almost
good for nothing. But she didn’t throw her hand up in despair. Her citizens put
on their thinking cap and brainstormed ideas they could use to turn the ugly
situation around for good.
They theorized, they experimented, they practicalised. In the end,
they turned the desert land into fertile soil suitable for farming! The
bottomline is: YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS OF GREATER WORTH THAN MONEY OR ANY
RESOURCE YOU CAN THINK OF.
If you have all the resources and you don’t have the right
attitude, you may end up wasting the resources instead of harnessing them for wealth
creation. But WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE, YOU CAN CREATE WEALTH OUT OF SEEMINGLY
HOPELESS SITUATIONS.
WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE, THE VERY ADVERSE CONDITION CONFRONTING
YOU CAN BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN FOR YOUR GOOD. The next time you are confronted
with obstacle, don’t back out. Sit down and brainstorm. Ask yourself: what can
I do to turn this obstacle around for my good?
When you keep asking yourself this kind of question, you will
start getting the solution from your mind. Endeavour to practicalise the
solution and you will end up creating wealth untold.
I urge you to stop looking at issues from negative perspective and
start dealing with issues from a positive standpoint today, and as you do so, it
is my prayer that you will end up creating wealth out of seemingly hopeless
situations.
Until I come your way soon, remember: YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES
YOUR ALTITUDE. Go and live victoriously now and always!
