How to develop "Positive Attitude"

 Helen Keller

The famous Helen Keller was left blind, deaf, and mute at 21 months of age. Even though she lived in a world of silence and darkness, she became a voice of hope and light. It wasn't easy for her. She struggled in her mind to find a connection with others, a door to the world. When she did, she held the door for others, making it possible for many people to believe in themselves. Can you imagine someone whose legs are affected by polio participating in a sport at an international level that requires excreme physical strength? Rajinder Singh Rahelu is the answer to this question. Not onily did he lift a weight of 180.5 kg but he managed to grab a silver medal in the men's heavyweight power lifting competition at the Commonwealth Games (CWG), 2014. Today "having an attitude" usually means a bad attitude (as in He's got an attitude! or Don't give me any attitude!). This chapter focuses on developing positive attitudes as shown by the two examples you just read.Your attitude is your point of view, your outlook on life, your state or frame of mind. It determines the choices you make and how you feel about the people, how it will seem to you, and you probably won't do your best in that class. things and events around you. If your attitude tells you "History is boring", tha Similarly, cleaning up your room can either be torture or fun. Why not be fun? When you have positive attitudes, you can choose how to react to each situation you encounter. You can choose what you think, feel and do. This give you enormous personal power - to control yourself from the inside out, to direct your own future. 

12 Ways to Stay Positive 

1. You can choose to be optimistic. A balanced optimist looks at reality acknowledges the difficulties and obstacles, but is not discouraged by them. A balanced optimist can see the good and the bad, but at the same time expects success and puts forth effort to make things turn out well. You've probably heard of a pessimist described as someone who sees a glass of water as half empty, while an optimist sees it as half full. The pessimist focuses on the negative (the missing water), while the optimist sees the positive (the water that's there). Who has a better outlook? Who is likely to be happier, more confident and sure? 


2. You can choose to accept things as they are. This doesn't mean that you lose hope and give up. It means that you don't struggle, whine and bang your head against a brick wall when things don't go right. Instead you get on with your life and move forward. 


3. You can choose to be resilient. Resilience has been described as "the capacity to cope with change and challenge and the ability to bounce back during difficult times".When you're resilient, you can survive almost anything- being hurt, frustrated, or let down; losing friends, making mistakes, and much more. Developing positive attitudes doesn't mean that you'll never experience pain, suffering, or disappointment. But having a good attitude will help you turn your problems into teachers so you can learn from them and grow. Developing positive attitudes doesn't mean you should ignore problems. If someone steals your car, you won't be casual about the situation but instead you'll contact the police and report your stolen car. You'll do everything you can to get it back. But if you can't get it back, you'll accept the fact that it's gone. But you won't let that drag you down.When you flip a coin in the air what do you get? It's either heads or tails. Problems always have a filip side too. If you fail a test, you can flip a coin and leam to study harder or find a tutor. If you loose a friend, you can flip the coin, repair the friendship, or find a new friend. 


4. You can choose to be cheerful. When you are around people who are cheerful you know that they energise you. They're like human battery chargers. You can be one too. Start by refusing to be dull and gloomy. Think positive because positive thoughts lead to positive emotions. Positive emotions make you healthy and happy. 


5. You can choose to be enthusiastic. Greet each new day with excitement. Approach tasks and challenges with zest The more upbeat, energetic and enthusiastic you are, the more people around you will feel and act the same. 


6. You can chose to be alert. If you're more alert to potential problems you can be better prepared for them and even handle them well. For example: A friend invites you to a party at her house on Saturday. But you overhear her telling someone that her parents are going out of town for the weekend. Parties without parents can spell trouble. You can avoid attending by being polite and excusing yourself.

 7. You can choose to have a sense of humour. When you do something silly (everyone does), don't miss the opportunity to laugh at yourself. If you laugh a lot, you'll be healthier. Laughter releases good chemicals in your body that stimulate you and can help you to grow.


 8. You can choose to be a good sport. This attitude can win you friends even if you don't win the game or competition. Being a good sport means losing gracefully-smiling, shaking hands with the winner, not blaming other people or circumstances for your loss. 


9. You can choose to be humble. People who usually boast about themselves seldom attract an audience. If you're genuinely interested in others, they'll see your good qualities even if you don't advertise them. They won't feel that you're trying to one-up them. They can relax around you and be themselves.


 10. You can choose to be grateful. Think about it: You probably have a lot to be grateful for. Gratitude puts a smile on your face. It makes you feel good about your life and other people feel good about being around you. 


11. You can choose to have faith. Having faith means believing in God and believing that things will work out for you and that you can work things out for yourself. If you expect to fail, you probably will. If you expect to achieve you're much more likely to reach your goal.

"Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life".-

Joel Osteen 


12. You can choose to have hope. Without hope life has no meaning. It is futile to set goals or dreams if there is no hope. Hope may be the most important positive attitude - the basis for all the others. 

"We must accept finite diappointment but never loose infinite hope".-Martin Luther King Jr.

A beautiful story " Caught while Sleeping"

  One cold and lonely night, when neither a whisper nor a sound could be heard coming from the streets, I woke up by the sound of footsteps on the staircase. The first thought that hit me was 'burglars' but then the sound ceased and so I tried to get back to sleep. After a while, the sound resumed and this time with firmness and quickness. I dared to get out of the bedroom and followed in the darkness in the direction of the sound of the footsteps. As I entered the kitchen, I was horrified to see to burglars trying to escape with a bag filled with some valuables through the stairs that led out into the passageway and then outside. On catching sight of me, they tried to attack me, but as I lookėd anxious and petrified, they just threatened me with dire consequences if I were to call the police. As one of them turned and opened the door, they were greeted and then escorted to the police station by two policemen who heard their noise while they were patrolling the place: Thu...
