ALTER YOUR ATTITUDE!

ALTER YOUR ATTITUDE!

Here I feel to share an experience of a university professor who once visited the Zen Master who came to inquire about Zen, Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. ‘It is overfull. No more will go in!’ ‘like this cup,’ Nan-in said, ‘you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you empty your cup?’

As above said attitude may vary positive or negative towards the person and the situation. The person who can react accordingly to his/her thoughts determines their attitude. Many of us are like this only. We want to learn more things. We want to gain more knowledge, but we are not ready to empty our negative attitudes toward learning new things. we need to convert the negative energy into positive energy in order to alter our attitude.

Instead of saying “I know everything, say I am ready to learn new thing”.

A positive attitude is not gifted by God, but it is an attitude that every individual approaches towards the animate and inanimate things which cure all the negative attitude of a person. As everyone would accept me that an attitude plays an important role in everybody’s life because this will show, one’s personality in the society. A person’s attitude will not be changed, unless the person empties his negative approaches, by saying “I know everything”. This has to be emptied from the vessel of one’s mind. If we try to accept and respect the situations around us, this will bring a tremendous change in our life.

 Think positive!

There is a glass filled with half the level of water. If I ask you, what do you see in the glass? Naturally, some will say, glass and glass are filled with half water or half empty but carefully we need to notify our attitude towards the glass. Our mind usually focuses on what is seen and what is not seen. Here the seen item is water but only the positive attitude people will say, the glass is half filled with water and half filled with air. Scientifically nothing is empty inside the glass. Change your look then people will look you in a different way.

Self-respect!

Self-respect is the most powerful and positive approach to oneself and this will trigger one’s positive energy very high. if a person is having the negative energy, this will have a vast impact on oneself and with surroundings.  A person’s personality is determined by his/her attitude. How a person respects himself/herself will show the same respect to others.

Goodbye to Ego!

Ego is one of the human personalities which is part of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic personality theory. ego is our conscious mind. This has been to handled carefully. If anyone says that he is an egoistic person that means he is full of himself. Need to come out from the ego centred person. This will mislead a person to take a wrong decision at any time. We need to say goodbye to the ego and allow positive energy to get in and to lead our life. 

 Learn to accept!

Accepting leads to respect and respect leads to accepting, so both are equally balanced. There is no room for criticism. Try to accept as others are, rather let us not have the practice of judging the merits and mistakes of others. I usually approach the mistakes of others for my learning. Naturally, people would think, the mistake is doing the wrong things but according to me, if we separate the word mistake into two words (Mis + Take) Mis means missing from me and Take means taking from others, so the mistake is “what is missing from me, I try to take from others is called mistakes”. Learn to accept the things as they come rather not criticize. This will lead you to have a good attitude towards others.

Attitude is like a high flame. When you have a high flame in you, will have more brightness around you and if it is less, will have less brightness. Likewise, a high positive attitude people will have more people around them. If negative, energy will impact a lot. Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thought. John C. Maxwell
