One’s attitude creates one’s life experience. It affects your behavior, your emotions, and your state of being. The thoughts that you generate are energetically created. If your attitude is negative, that is what you get back in experience. Likewise, if your attitude is positive, your resulting experience will be equal to what you put out into the world. The saying ” Reap what you sow” applies here.
Your life growing up has exposed you to conditioning from your environment. You were born into a family whose culture, beliefs, status, and values became ingrained in you. You accepted what you perceived as how things should be. In some situations, it was accepted as okay because you figured your parents knew best. Or your life growing up was filled with problems, causing you to feel bitter and to think negatively. Over time, as an adult, life events become dramatic, painful, and depressing.
There are many reasons for how and why attitudes develop. Some are very positive, even in difficult times. You hear stories of those who have been through devastating events, yet they remain positive that life will improve, and they begin to manifest better experiences. Then there are those whose life experiences are minimally troubling, and they fall apart emotionally. Why the difference in these two scenarios?
Willpower: Inner Determination
Willpower is an inner determination to stick to something until it is mastered. Seeing something through is a test of your intellectual discipline and power. It is the power to hold on until your goals, dreams, and desires are met. For this author who wanted to give up on life, it was the slap in the face wake-up that I needed, that cry of no, deep from within. My deep desire for my life at the end to have meant more. Giving up would not grant me what I realized I was missing and desired. That moment from deep within was my wakeup call that even at my old age, I wanted my life to have meant more. For this I am sincerely grateful.
You must desire to change. Changing what you think about in a conscious way opens the door to a better quality of life. As new events that bring prosperity and joy, your gratitude increases and, in turn, multiplies the good that enters your life. You must develop willpower deep from within the core of your being. Grit determination and strength will bring you success. Failure comes from the inability to work through the obstacles and difficulties that come your way. Do not give up when the going gets tough. Feel your determination and master the situation as this is a test of your intellectual discipline and power.
It is easy to press on when things are going smoothly. Do not allow a few bumps in the road to make you fearful and give up. Do not do what others do. You must function on your own outside of the crowd.
Having high hopes without willpower only leads to failure. A person without a Will is like an engine without fuel. The strength of your will is the test of your possibilities, allowing you to accomplish anything.
Spiritual Attitude
Your Spiritual attitude develops as you tap into your inner strength and exert your will in your life. As a physical extension of God, you came into this world to live a full and blessed life. You have the free will of God to co-create a life of your desires. Your thoughts are creative; they become form and manifest into your reality based on your intentions and fueled by your emotions. In a world of duality, good and evil, you must learn to master the darkness and negativity thrown into the midst of life. A spiritual attitude must develop within you where you live, think and create from the loving divine child that you are.
Living life your way with a spiritual attitude, coupled with the inner will to create your reality through a focused awareness of your thoughts, places you in full control of your destiny. Your quality of life will improve immensely, and you will grow spiritually as well.
