I started this Blog about what does a winning attitude mean. An acronym for the word WIN(What's Important Now) . In the world we currently live in we are exposed to information from everywhere: TV,Phone,Internet,Newspaper,Magazines,Books and People we come in contact with on a daily basis. Whatever we are exposed to has a profound effect on our ideas attitudes and behaviors. This can have a positive or negative effect on us. It depends on which one we are exposed to the most. If we are more around whiners and complainers , we to tend to be whiners and complainers. If we are more around positive and out going people we tend to be positive and out going ourselves. The bottom line is this, we are usually around a little of both types. Which type do you associate with or identity with the most? Why do you associate with them ? If you could change anything about yourself what would it be?
I took the liberty of placing an additional N onto the word WINN, which means New. If I want something different I will have to do something different. If I want things in my life to change , I have to change things. Wanting something new and continuing to do the same thing is not going help .
Doing something new takes courage.
Doing something new may feel a bit uncomfortable.
Doing something new you may have to change some of your friends and associates.
You have to ask yourself what do I want out of life. Am I willing do what it takes to get there?
Do you have a winning attitude? Are you willing to change.
Tony, I'm with you! I totally understand the whole idea of new beginnings, but where is it written that a new beginning must occur for the new year? You can make a change whenever you see fit! As you said, it takes courage to make a change, especially when things are comfortable. If I could change anything about myself, it would be for more peace. Peace within myself, peace on the outside. I would like to have more peace and harmony in my personal life regarding how I react to situations. Also, I am the type of person who is very sensitve to all the negative things happening in the world. It's very difficult for me sometimes, to realize that I can't change things in the world. However, I am beginning to see that by trying to influence or change negative situations aroung me, I am not really accomplishing anything. The "CHANGE" or improvement that I seek to make really starts within me. It's my choice whether I let myself be influenced negatively. Happiness is achieved within, and it doesn't rely on anything changing externally. The change that's needed is internal, one's attitude. It can be just as simple as being thankful for all of the wonderful simple things you have, a few being health, shelter and the love of family and friends.
