Hello there. How are you today. I hope all is well with you. Today I want to share with you a simple concept to overcome worry in your life.

A few days ago I found myself doing one of the worst things that we as human beings tend to do and that is focusing on what we don’t have. You see I saw someone or should I say a group of people with something that I always wanted but for the time being I have never been able to acquire it as yet. It is too personal for me to reveal right now but I found myself being very concerned and even feeling a little down because of not having it.

Anyway as I was going through the day I saw somethings that made me have a very different perspective on my problem. I saw a woman who had to be carried by a man because she had trouble walking, I met a girl who was very young and has been continually sick for years now and doctors can’t seem to cure her.

I began to realise just how great my life is and that there are people out there who will do anything to trade places with me and to have my problems to be there biggest problems.

I am sure that some of you are like that too. I read this quote in a Dale Carnegie book that said

‘I had the blues cause I had no shoes,

When upon the street I saw a man who had no feet.’

Dale Carnegie went on to say that about 90 percent of the things in our lives are right and about 10 percent are wrong. If we want to be happy, all we have to do is to focus on the 9o percent that are right and ignore the 10 percent that are wrong. If we want to be worried and bitter and have stomach ulcers, all we have to do is focus on the 10 percent that are wrong and ignore the 90 percent that are glorious.

I want you to right now take out a sheet of paper and spend about 15 minutes writing everything you are thankful for. When you do this exercise you will realise just how blessed you are and it will be foolishness to continue to dwell on what you don’t have.

So start counting your blessings today. Don’t think your blessings don’t count!!!

Have you ever heard such a saying? ‘Your attitude determines your altitude?‘ That is so true and if we are willing to take that saying seriously it will help us a whole lot to move even further in our life and achieve greater things than we have ever achieved!!!

There are lots of things that we do not have control over but we do have control over our response to those things. I remember watching the FIFA World Cup 2006 final between Italy and France and we saw a perfect example of attitude being displayed. One Italian seemed to insult one of the French and then the Frenchman headbutted the Italian causing himself to be sent off the game and possibly costing his side the World Cup. What makes it bad is that this Frenchman was a Legend in the game of Football and this was his last game and this is how he will be remembered!!!

I am sure that you have witnessed many times in your life how attitude determines altitude. Someone once said that it’s not what happens to us that is important but what we do or how we respond to what happens to us that makes all the difference!!!

One man says ‘I am not giving any money to that bum cause he probably has a lot of other money that he begged for throughout the day,’ while another man freely gives him the money knowing that he has done a good turn for that day.

To be successful you need to have a success attitude and to be unsuccessful you need a negative attitude. One person goes to a job and says ‘I hate the boss, I hate the people, I hate the work, it all stinks!!!’ while another person says that even though they may not like the way the boss operates they have money coming in each month, they live close to their workplace, they get a pension plan etc.

The same situation but different attitudes. Your attitude determines your altitude!!! I want to encourage you to work on your attitude. The greatest part of our happiness depends not on our positions but our dispositions!!!

Have you ever had big dreams or plans that you plan to do or accomplish some time in your life but you failed to accomplish them because of what somebody who is important to you said because they didn’t want you to be hurt or they just plain didn’t want you to succeed?

I remember a few years ago I was listening to Doctor Stan Harris and he shared this poem and I am sure it will motivate you a lot after reading it, so here it is.

DANGEROUS PEOPLE

The dangerous people are not the ones,

Who hit you with clubs and rob you with guns,

The people won’t attack your character traits

Or belittle your abilities to your face!

It likely will be a well meaning friend,

Who merely crashes your will to win!

No he doesn’t rob you or point a gun,

He simply says ‘It can’t be done’

When pointed to many who already are

He smiles and says they’re better than we are

Personality wise and abilities too,

They are way ahead of what others can do!

It matters not that his word is untrue,For you, for the others must know you!

So you’re robbed of your hopes, your dreams to succeed,

Robbed of the faith that made you believe

And left to doubt if you’ll ever achieve!!!

So the deadliest of people is not he with a gun,

But he or she who tells you, ‘It can’t be done’

For that taken by burglars can be gotten again

But nothing can replace your will to win!!!

Now that’s why you’re on sites like these. I don’t tell you what you can’t do but what you CAN DO!!! I believe in you and all that you stand for. Don’t allow anyone to steal that dream that is birthed inside you. Go To Work and Make It Real!!!

If you enjoyed this post then share it with the rest of the world!!!

Do you have these kind of people in your life? is a post from: Brian's Motivational Blog
