Life, a question of attitude

Sometimes, the way one looks at life and faces what it brings makes the difference between happiness or misery, between satisfaction or frustration. Because Sometimes, what happens to us or, at least, how we perceive it, is a matter of attitude.

Two ways of seeing life: a question of attitude

Many people have adopted a very pessimistic outlook throughout their lives. and they cannot find a way out of the fact that affects them. In this way, they avoid taking responsibility for the events that life presents them.

These people generally They put all the responsibility for their “misfortunes” outside their orbit of action. This is what is called external locus of control. The other is always responsible or “guilty” for every negative situation in his life. Phrases like “you are to blame for all my problems” are common among these people.

The other group is the one that sees life with more optimism. They know that the circumstances that this brings them are challenges to grow. Therefore, they live less stressed, tend to appear happier and smile more. They are the ones who know that life is not threatening in itself, but that what makes it “good” or “bad” is a matter of attitude. Hence they take the freedom to choose how to face it.

Changing your attitude is possible

Yes, it is possible to change your attitude. It may be difficult, but it can be achieved. Here I want to show a way for those who are in the first group to move to the second and thus be able to have a fuller and happier life.

The key to being happy is found in self-knowledge. The person who sees their life as “black” may begin by asking themselves how they got into that situation. In turn, this question will help you look back on the path that has led you to the current moment.

This attitude is good to change, when the goal is to review where you may have gone wrong.. But beware! It is not when it becomes a focus of reproaches. It is about discovering errors or erroneous behaviors to correct them, not to flagellate yourself with them.

Change complaint to action

Once this question has been asked and analyzed, A second step may be to look at the current situation head on, without any fear and plan the exit.

How does a person who can’t find a way out of a problem do this? Simply changing a negative attitude into a positive one, that is, the complaint about the action. Something you can say to yourself might be, “Okay, that’s it, I’m tired of complaining. Therefore, at this moment I decide that I want to get out of this situation.”

Let’s see, “How do I do it?” This question is key. It makes the person think about the problem and possible solutions, it takes them fully inside. Thus, he puts her in contact with the resources that he has to solve that problem and with a solution in accordance with who he is.

Life is often a matter of attitude and what we have seen It is a simple way to begin processing a shift from a negative view to a positive one. and help change the way you see and face life.

It’s all about starting. Once you start, the wheel begins to turn, and in this way, that small change begins to take over all areas of lifehelping the person to live more peacefully and happily.
