Embrace positive attitude and be a winner

It has been said time and again that attitude is very important.

Thomas Jefferson said that "nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goals; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong attitude."

A winning attitude is a positive attitude, and it is not taught in school.

Someone rightly said that attitude is the window through which you view life. A small child growing up when confronted with doubt rises up beyond it like it does not matter.

For example, when they fall down, they do not spend the whole time crying over their predicament. They rise  immediately and move on to their destination.

As they grow older, their window is clouded by the dirt of self-doubt, failure, criticism, fear of the unknown — and the list goes on and on.

We have to purpose to rise above every dirt that tries to cloud our window of perception, for in doing so, we will have a distinct clarity in our approach to life and therefore have a positive outlook towards life.

In life, your attitude determines most things!  There is a winning attitude that will position you to higher heights in your destiny.

There is a level of operation in terms of attitude that will make you fly above your challenges.

This is very important and a point worth noting. Everyone experiences challenges in life. Each one of us has their own portion of challenges and obstacles.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is how we respond to them. Our response determines our outcomes. Life is full of battles and victories. Our happiness therefore is a choice we make and is not determined by happenings.

I met a friend recently and when I asked him how life is, he responded that "life is so difficult in Nairobi especially with this bad economy. In fact, 10 per cent of of Kenyans are the ones not feeling the pinch."

I was so energised, having come from a meeting that made me want to fly because of the positive energy that had been present around it.

I said with my heart that I will not give in to the negative energy he was transmitting. I said loudly that I am among the 10  per cent. Life requires a positive response to different circumstances and challenges, and that helps in shaping our winning attitude.

A winner has to win from the mind first. Can you conceive it in your mind? Then say it. You cannot say what your mind cannot conceive!

You cannot experience what you have not birthed in your mind first! It is therefore imperative that you change your attitude so that you can enjoy a prosperous life where winning is the norm.

Often, our actions are determined by our responses. How are you willing to respond? You have to choose to be above by viewing your current situation positively.

The winning attitude sees possibility where there is no possibility! The winning attitude says "I can." The winning attitude sees success instead of failure.

This kind of attitude will position you above situations, and as a point of reference in your career, business, and in life.

Go ahead and win by embracing the winning attitude!
