Adjusting Your Attitude Positively

One of the major challenges people face in their interactions with others is directly linked to attitude. Having attitude problem will create other problems that can wreck someone. The truth truth is, there is always a difference between being real and being rude, and both of them should not be confused. Many people hide under the facade of being real to be plainly rude to others.

You may be saying the truth but the way you say it matters and may even influence the ultimate result. Communication does not only involve opening one's mouth and using words as they come. It also involves attitude, knowing how to say what you want to say in order to pass the meaning across. The world is already ladened with so much roughness that people will not want to add someone else's nasty and rude attitude to it.

You may have the right points to make, but there is a way you will say it, you will end up not making the point and what you thought was right may appear to be wrong. After all, sometimes, communication focuses more on the emotions and attitudes than the context of what is said. Even your tone when you speak can greatly alter the perceived meaning of the words you speak. A right word accompanied by a wrong tone will ultimately be counterproductive.

A few weeks back, a friend of mine did something uncool but the way he was corrected by another of his friend created further vexation that the offence was overridden by the correction and the person that corrected him ended up angering everyone and the correction was futile. One of the signs of maturity is to be able to keep one's emotions in check, so that it will not weaken their attitude.

It is the attitude you put up over the time that will be consolidated upon to build your character. The person that has a good character did not receive it as a gift, he worked on his attitude and built it positively and consciously. Every human has the inherent tendency of either positive attitude or negative attitude, the side you build on is what will determine what your character will become and of course, this will give birth to the kind of future you want.

Even when people do something wrong to you, your reaction should be a reflection of who you are and not what the person did nor who the person is. This is why you need to be selective of your actions, your reactions, and your inactions. You will agree with me that when you act, people may not be interested to know what prompted the action, they will only see the action itself.

Before you act or even speak, try to give a little thought over it and know if you must say or act in that manner. If you have okayed it in your mind, then you can go ahead. Note this: every word you use and every action you take will definitely come with results and consequences. I have heard of people missing opportunities because of some careless rude comments, so do not be careless with attitudes, because even emotions do speak.
