I believe this is a critical
question we need to ask ourselves. We live in a time where many, if not
most of us, do not accept responsibility for our own lives. We blame
everyone and everything for the way we feel and behave in everyday
life.
“The power in life
– the ‘Who is in charge of life’ – the best we
can hope to do is to take charge of our attitude.
In the 1970,
the Andrew Carnegie Foundation funded the largest research study ever
done to determine what make a successful individual. They surveyed more
than 300,000 people in four employment sectors - business, industry,
education and government.
The findings speak for themselves.
It was found that only 7% of your success is determined by the
knowledge you have, only 12% by the skills you possess, and 81% of your
success is determined by your attitude.
You might ask,
what is attitude? Attitude is a way of looking at life. It is a belief
system, an “angle “ on life, a way of looking at issues,
such as the meaning in life, personal power, the choices that we have,
and what makes our lives meaningful and rich. This belief system, much
more than the events that happen to us, determines what kind of life we
will create for ourselves, what kind of emotional and spiritual life we
will experience, and how we will cope with what life presents.
Remember when
you are at the lowest of possible emotions, when you have the worst
possible attitude - fear, anxiety, depression, powerlessness and
despair – you attract to you circumstances and events which
support you in being fearful, anxious, depressed, etc. I doubt
you’d call this a formula of success.
Here are some
attitudes that will guarantee your success in life: Gratitude,
appreciation, thankfulness, joy, bliss, excitement, enthusiasm, passion
and the like.
Take charge.
Take responsibility for your life. Believe in the power that is
in you. Do not give away that power to others.
Also, just
mouthing “positive” words won’t make all things
better. Have the awareness to see how you might be keeping yourself a
slave through your own attitude. Have the awareness to see what is
beautiful in life. You can help what you feel and what you think.

in a good place, get help. Find a good coach to help you change your
attitude and take charge of your life.
