Two people can face a similar situation but they can have a different outlook and outcome. One can be smiling as if he has no problem while the other can be frowning as if he is the only one with the problem. It's not magic but it's about how each of them tackled that situation. That is why attitude makes a difference. How can you show a positive attitude even when you are faced with a difficult situation?
Pessimism saps the strength one needs to improve your situation or to
help you deal with it. Rather than being a pessimist, be an optimist.
If you see everything negatively, you will feel
“afflicted” and every day will appear “bad,” or gloomy. But if you focus
on positive things, you will have “a cheerful heart” and even feel
joyful. The choice is yours. You can confront your pessimistic thoughts and replace them with something positive. Learn to keep negative thoughts out by concentrating on something constructive.
Unselfish giving brings deep satisfaction to the giver. Why? Because we
were created to do more than simply look after our own needs. (Philippians 2:3, 4; 1 John 4:11) Experiencing the joy of giving can do much to help us cope with negative circumstances in life.
Look for opportunities to be
self-sacrificing. For example, can you prepare a meal for a sick
neighbor? Do you know elderly ones who need help with tasks around the
home?
Care for your attitude in the same
way you would cultivate a garden. Root out the poisonous weeds of
pessimism and negativity. Sow seeds of realistic optimism, and fertilize
your life with actions that produce positive emotions. You will reap an
emotional crop that will make your life much more rewarding. And it
will confirm the fact that attitude makes a difference!
