When the attitude is right, things are right.

Psychologist James said:

“People can change their lives through their attitudes. This is arguably the greatest discovery of our generation.”

Attitude determines altitude, attitude determines behavior, behavior determines habits, habits determine character, and character determines destiny.

The mentality is the achievement of the future.

So your state does not lie in the external environment, but in your own mentality.

No one’s life is smooth sailing, but if the heart is full of pessimism and negativity, life will be bleak.

Only by maintaining a good attitude can you eliminate your emotions and confusion, and turn all the tribulations in the world into the strength to move forward and benefit your whole life.

Just adjust your mind and things will be fine

someone said that:

Viewed horizontally as ridges and sideways as peaks, the distance and height are different.

Different perspectives will see different scenery,

Just like the same half glass of water, some people see the remaining half, while others see the missing half.

Therefore, whether something is good or bad, success or failure, does not lie in the thing itself, but in the mentality of the person.

Once the mentality is adjusted, things will go smoothly.

There is a story:

In the United States, there is a pair of twin brothers, who were born into a poor family, the mother is an alcoholic, the father is a gambler, and the family environment is very bad. Later, the two brothers took different paths. The younger brother committed all kinds of crimes and was imprisoned. The older brother is a very successful entrepreneur and even ran for parliament.

In the prison, a reporter went to interview the younger brother: “Why are you like this today?” The younger brother said: “Because of my family, because of my parents.” At the same time, the reporter went to interview the elder brother of the twin brother: “Why do you have today’s achievements? What about?” My brother also replied, “Because of my family, because of my parents.”

As the saying goes: “Things turn according to the heart, and the environment is created by the heart.”

Nothing is good or bad. If you are negative and pessimistic, you will only be trapped in negative emotions and complain in your heart.

And when you can adjust your mentality, your heart is full of sunshine, positive and optimistic, and success and happiness will come uninvited.

Therefore, if you have a bad attitude, you will hit a wall everywhere; if you have a good attitude, everything will go smoothly.

The goal is to stabilize the short-term mentality

Daily work, sales performance, studying for exams, and attending meetings all require mentality, and this short-term mentality mainly depends on one’s own goals.

If you can stay focused on your goals, nothing can interfere with you.

To prepare for the opening of a new store, you worked overtime for several days in a row, stayed up late to display, and rush to open, and you couldn’t stand it according to conventional thinking, but you still put in it, and you didn’t feel very painful until it was all completed. On the contrary, because you completed the goal, you felt that Great sense of accomplishment.

You will feel tired during this process, but it is not because of your heart. This is not because of willpower, but because you have set a clear goal.

The real goal must be in line with the SMART principle, specific and achievable.

People with goals, always remind themselves to do it quickly, will not easily get emotional, and think about how to adjust when encountering problems. Because he knows that what he wants can be seen and touched, and he is approaching step by step, it is easy for him to stabilize his mentality.

And this kind of short-term mentality does not require much control, a good goal is enough.

Long-term mentality depends on awareness

Self-awareness is very important to have a long-term good attitude.

Someone said: “Life is unsatisfactory and things often happen.”

Difficulties and ups and downs are inevitable in life for decades. Whether you can get over it depends on your mentality.

Many times, the matter itself is not serious. If you mess up, it will only be defeated.

Only with a steady state of mind can we calmly face the disturbances in the world with a clear mind.

In this world, most of the things you think are related to others have nothing to do with others. — — It’s just that the projections and interpretations we make to others are related, and these projections and interpretations often come from our hearts.

To solve these problems, the core lies in self-awareness, because it is impossible for others to remind you of everything, only your own reflection can get better answers.

Why is the long-term mentality prone to collapse?

Because people are not saints, nor are they perpetual motion machines. When the result you want is far away and the road is long, the tighter the strings in your mind, the easier it is to break. Instead, find your own rhythm, sometimes tighten and sometimes relax, and give yourself time to adjust, so that you can move forward more comfortably.

Learn to be self-aware, remind yourself at all times, and maintain a good attitude to get good results.

Will be cleared, know how to be grateful, and be happy

No one can be smooth sailing in a person’s life. There are always ups and downs in life. When you encounter difficulties, your mentality will naturally fluctuate. Only by learning to clear up can you be happy.

When you encounter setbacks, you don’t know, and when you get out, it’s your business.

We say that it is not difficult to have a good attitude for a while, but the most difficult thing is to maintain a good mood for a lifetime, to be peaceful and happy for a lifetime, only to be grateful.

Many people think that it is easiest to be grateful when you are happy, but in fact, you must be grateful before you can be happy.

What is gratitude?

Be grateful for what you have, be grateful for what you have met, be grateful for what you have got, you can think so about everything, and your mentality will never be bad.

You can grab every little thing to be grateful for:

Children cook for you occasionally, your lover buys you gifts, colleagues help you at work, and the company provides you with a platform…

Pay attention to the people and things around you, and there is a sense of satisfaction everywhere.

When you can hold a grateful heart, you will be able to discover the beauty in this world, and your heart will be complete and full.
