                                                      .......The Power of your Attitude.....  

                                             


Your Attitude is the basic lens or frame through which you see yourself, the world , and other people . you can have a positive attitude or a negative one, and you'll see the world accordingly. A very wise man once said," your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. when your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. but when your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. but when your eye is bad , your whole body is filled with darkness.

And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is.  in other world , the way you look at thing ( your "eye") will shape the course of your life for better or worse. the good new is that you can have a positive attitude that shapes your life in positive way!

In this section , you'll discover the five critical ways that your attitude exerts power in your Life :--

Thought 
Action 
Habit
Choice 

............................................................. The Power of Thoughts.............................................................. 

Your first step forward in harnessing the power of positive attitude is to believe that your attitude actually does exert incredible influence over aspect of your Life. What you think shapes your identity, literally determining the kind of person You'll be and the things you'll do.

The people who achieve their goals. enjoy success , and seem to be happy despite their circumstances didn't get that way by accident. They chose to have a positive outlook, and that choice shaped everything else about them. Likewise ,the people who drift though life complaining else that nothing good ever happens have also made a choice. They interpret their circumstances though the lens of a negative attitude. Everything looks bad to them, and it becomes bad.   

You may be thinking , Well some things really are bad! And you're right. People face difficult, even heartbreaking trials every day. Yet some people emerge from those events contented , peaceful, and determined to move forward, while other seem to wither away.

They only difference is their attitude. In the same way, many people experience wonderful things like  a great job, a loving family , and good hearth, but nothing ever seem to satisfy them ; they're always unhappy- because they choose to be. Charles Swindoll, the highly acclaimed teacher and author ,put it this way:

        The Longer  I live ,the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more
        important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money than cir-
        cumstances , than failures ,than successes, than what other people think or say or do... I am 
        convinced that life in 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so 
        it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.   

You have the power to choose your response to any situation. And in that power lies the ability to control you identity,  your happiness and many aspects of your future. you're in charge of the most powerful force in your life: your attitude.


  

........................You have the power to choose ....................

If you still doubt that what truly shapes your life in your attitude. not your circumstances , let me give you a stunning example of the power of attitude that comes from the letter days of second world war. You know that the Nazis imprisoned many people in concentration camps, notably a lager population of Jewish people, also many people of other races, religions, and political persuasions.

 These pries ones faced grueling hardships. Many were slaughtered by their cap tors, and many others died of disease or starvation. Confinement in a concentration camps was a virtual death sentence. 
During the war, a young Jewish psychiatrist form vienna, Austria, was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in what's now the Czech Republic, along with his entire family.

 Victor Frankl's and his wife Tilly were later transported to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, and finally moved to the Dachau camp system where he spent  seven month's mostly working as a slave laborer. Frankl's mother and brother died at Auschwitz. Tilly was moved to the Bergen-Belsen camp, where she died.  

Victor Frankl describes the conditions he and other endured in his boom man's search of meaning. living amid such suffering and cruelty, every day a fight for food and survival, never knowing whether  they would survive the war, people chose various responses to their circumstance. Some joined in the current, surviving the camps privations by stealing from other or cooperating with their captors. 0th ers simply gave up and died. but some were able to choose a different path, living with dignity and hope even when that meant sacrificing themselves for other.

After enduring the suffering in these camps, Frankl concluded that even in the most painful ,disorienting and dehumanizing situation, life has meaning. We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken form a men but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of     circumstances to choose one's  own way.
