Attitude refers to a person’s perspective, mindset, or disposition towards something, it is often reflected in their behaviour, body language, and tone.
Attitude can be a positive, negative, or neutral stance on a particular topic, person, or situation. It can influence how we perceive and interact with the world around
On a certain day, I sat in a crowded bus, I couldn’t help but notice the diverse group of people around me. Some were engrossed in their phones, while others chatted with friends or gazed out the window. I thought about how our attitudes shape our relationships and interactions with others. It was a luxurious bus moving from Marina to Ketu.
The words of Theodore Roosevelt came to mind: “The most important single ingredient in the formula for success is knowing how to get along with people.” It’s easy to get caught up in our interests and priorities, juxtaposed to the line of thought came a Bible verse “esteem others better than himself” (Philippians 2:3 NKJV).
I reflected on my own relationships and realized that my attitude had a significant impact on how well I connected with others. When I focused on understanding and supporting those around me, our interactions were more meaningful and enjoyable.
As the bus hit a pothole, a nearby passenger stumbled, and I instinctively reached out to steady her. We exchanged a smile, and I felt a sense of connection. It was a small moment, but it reminded me that our attitudes can make a difference in the lives of those around us, even in the face of life’s challenges.
With a renewed commitment to empathy and understanding, I continued my journey, ready to approach each interaction with a heart of humility and a willingness to learn from others.
As I continued on my journey, I met a young mother struggling to calm her crying baby. I offered a listening ear and a helping hand, and soon we were chatting like old friends. She shared her struggles and fears, and I shared words of encouragement. Our conversation was a reminder that our attitudes can create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion.
Later that day, I faced a challenging situation at work. A difficult project was due soon, and my team was struggling to meet the deadline. I could have easily given in to frustration and stress, but instead, I chose to approach the situation with a positive attitude. I encouraged my team, offered support, and together we found a solution.
As the day drew to a close, I reflected on the power of attitude. It had made a difference in my relationships, my interactions, and my approach to challenges. I realized that our attitudes are like a garden – they need to be nurtured, watered, and cultivated to grow into something beautiful.
With a heart full of gratitude, I wrote in this piece: “Today, I learned that the right attitude can turn strangers into friends, challenges into opportunities, and struggles into growth. May I continue to esteem others better than myself and face life’s challenges with humility, kindness, and courage.”
