Statement of courage: Do not allow adversity to affect your attitude.

 

Hello everybody! Eku deede iwoyi o!

Everybody can have a good attitude when things are going great. But what happens when things go the other way, contrary to your plans or expectations? Such problems as; discouragement, change, failure, pandemic, etc. How are they going to affect you?

You need to be ready to meet the challenges. You need to be ready mentally to keep them defeating you. Veterans of most natural disasters words of advice focus mainly on attitude like; be patient, be war, prepare yourself, lean on others, have faith, stay mentally tough, etc. What they are trying to say is that you cannot control disasters and circumstances, but you can control your attitude. If you do, it will make the difference between giving up and bouncing back.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit. – Napoleon Hill

The attitude we adapt in times of adversity will not only define the moment but will determine the future. Winston Churchill was right when he said, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” Your attitude in adversity will either demote you or promote you. Here are four common attitude approaches when times are tough.

1.      Why me, why now?

2.    This is not fair.

3.    Why not me?

4.    Everyone together.

Which one will be yours?

The attitude formula in play looks like this: GA (good attitude) + RA (right actions) = GO (Great Opportunity). A good attitude gives you a distinct advantage. Let`s try as much as possible to have a good attitude at all times. It is the single greatest asset you have when facing the challenges of life.

We celebrate with you if you were born in the month that starts with NO which may mean New Opportunity. Wishing you New Opportunities in the month and always. 

Have a wonderful month everybody! Stay safe, stay strong, and stay healthy!
