There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials. We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.
We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives. They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another. Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward.
Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard.
Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?
How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?
We have the ultimate tool required to initial change. We can change our attitude, first and foremost. A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm. Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable.
Life can and will be difficult at times. We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons. In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”. That in itself is the first step. We can learn to turn our reactions to actions. Reactions are uncontrolled. Actions are purposeful and productive.
It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment. Go from victim to victor over your life experience. It does take work, much effort, in fact initially. We are creatures of habit. Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.
If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred. If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.
A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable. A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it.
Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions. We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.
