Attitude Building - Complaining

This is the most talked about trait of a person. Whenever we refer to someone and our understanding of them, we tend to say "He has a good attitude", "She has a good attitude". "His or Her attitude is not good" etc. Attitude can be seen as our "mental filters" through which we see the world. Depending upon the nature and the color of these filters, one's interpretation of a situation will dramatically vary. That is why we find that for the same situation we find different people reacting in different ways. The reaction comes from one's attitude than the situation itself. It is a known fact that Attitude forms your character. Character leads to a set of beviours that you display. If character is what you are, behaviour is what others see. Hence a proper characater formation through effective building of a "Good Attitude" is essential for our "Personal Success". In this Lesson on "Self Development 101" and the few subsequent lessons, we are going to work on "Building a good attitude". The way a person handles a situation says a lot about one's attitude. Let us specifically talk about "Complaints" here. In any situation, whether trivial or big, which went against your interests or thoughts, what do you do? Do you "Complain" about it or do something about it? Did complaining and whining about the situation make the situation any better for you? Or would doing something about it make your situation and hence your attitude better? "Complaining" is a major hurdle to pesonal success. Complainers get nowhere and end up developing a poor attitude and be seen as "Difficult people" to get along with. Here is the Lesson for practice for the next 52 weeks. In any situation, instead of finding reasons to "Whine and complain" just pause, think and see how you can handle it better. Since there is no rewind button in life or events that have gone by, can you now "Do something about it" to set it right or improve it or may be just find an alternate solution? Or at least just explore these options instead of letting your mind feed with you with negatives. Challenges and complaining situations show the difference between people with "Winning Attitudes" and "Losing Attitudes". To put the lesson in the right perspective - "In any situation, do something about the situation instead of just standing there and complaining about it".
