My ATTITUDE toward life |
10 rewards/effects of a positive ATTITUDE |
What makes you tick? The truth is, you’re not really sure. It seems like a silly question: why ask what makes you tick when you have to keep going anyway? Generally, you get out of bed in the morning because you’re on autopilot, rather than because there is something that you really want to do. It’s not that you don’t like your life, but, at the same time, you don’t really get the feeling you’re in control of how it unfolds. You are like an extra in the film of your own life, turning this way and that without ever quite knowing how or why. As for total happiness and profound wellbeing, you’re not even sure they really exist. They seem to belong to a fairytale world, rather than the daily grind we actually experience. It’s because of this attitude that you feel you’re just going through the motions, or that everything is beyond your control. It sounds like your confidence, your self-esteem and your opinion of what life has to offer have taken a bit of a knock. Perhaps there have been few occasions when you have felt really happy, have been told you have done well or have felt truly appreciated; those are the sort of things which inspire people to move forward. And yet there is part of you that really wants to be in the thick of things. Take time to rediscover the excited, fearless child inside you, who still has their hopes and dreams intact. Get back in touch with the things you really like doing. Stop walking around on autopilot and learn to be more spontaneous. Remind yourself it is OK to have fun in life. You have nothing to lose if you try these things, and much to gain.
