Your attitude about any given situation is entirely your choice. That doesn’t mean you can control every situation, but what it does mean is that you can control how you react to it. How you choose your attitude is largely based on habits. Habits that you form by consistently feeding your mind, consciously or sub-consciously, with the things you see, read and hear.
If you constantly see, read or hear negative things, then your mind will naturally produce negative thoughts, but if you consistently see, read or hear positive things, then you will naturally produce positive thoughts. It would be unreasonable to suggest blocking or removing all negative things from your life, but the key is consistency. What are you constantly feeding into your mind?
“It’s choice – not chance – that determines your destiny.” – Jean Nidetch
Those thoughts that you develop in your mind is what will ultimately come out in your self talk. Positive or negative, good or bad, what you take in is what you will put out. So there is a process to develop the ability of choosing the right attitude and all it takes is a slight adjustment to what you consistently allow into your mind. The more consistently you do it, the more second nature it becomes.
There will always be challenges and difficulties, but how you face them will determine your destiny. You don’t have to be a victim of your circumstances as long as you remember to realize that you have the power to choose your attitude. You might not always have control of what is going on around you, but you do have control of what you tell yourself about it!
