Attitude A Matter Of Choice

Attitude… ….. a matter of Choice Designed & Presented by Shabbar Suterwala

What comes to your mind?

First & Most Likely Responses…!!

Donkey…..!!!!!

Good for Nothing

Useless

Least Glamorous

Taken for Granted animal

….seldom we get response that the donkey is one of the “hard working” animals and loyal.

How is our Attitude…?

We treat people and situation in the same manner as we do with the donkey.

We discount the good in them …!

We only look at the Negative side & start reacting….. Isn’t it?

REACT STOP THINK ACT

REACT

First we take ACTION

then we STOP

then we THINK.. and feel guilty about our behaviour

That is why others say.. “Attitude Problem”

The 10 - 90 Rule

10% is what happens

90% is how to react/respond to what happens and that’s your attitude

How to make these CHOICES..? How CHANGE Thoughts, Feelings & Behaviour ..?

Step 1 Make a DECISION today to CHANGE

Start with the First Step today

DECIDE today – with which person, people, situation, circumstances, tasks…. You will change your ATTITUDE

Step 2 Shift your FOCUS

Focus on What’s Right v/s What is Wrong

Focus on What you Do Have v/s What you don’t

Focus on Solutions then on Problems

Step 3 Be more CURIOUS instead of Judgmental

Instead of Blaming and Complaining be curious to ask yourself a Question…Why is this person or situation like that…?

What can I change here in this situation or with this person.

Step 4 Develop an Attitude of GRATITUDE

“ I was crying for a pair of shoes until I saw a man without legs; I thanked God that at least I have legs”

Find something appreciate in tough time / tough person / tough situation now

Whenever you feel down, depressed, frustrated see what can be acknowledged

Step 5 Decide Not to be Perfect all the time

Stop having high expectation from yourself and others

When Expectations do not match .. That is the beginning of negatives..!!

Step 6 Believe in Yourself

This is not an inflated EGO but when you think and Feel Good about Your self...then you are able to see the same in others too.

What ever you believe you achieve

Step 7 Take Action … Now

You can’t just stand before the mirror and shout “Positive Attitude”

Stop “Procrastination” and Start Now

Write down for the Next 7 Days…an Action Plan
