Wellbeing & Meditation

A wonderful teacher of mine told me a number of years ago that I needed to learn to handle disappointment. This was great advice and I am reminded of it from time to time.

If you look at the milestones in the life of any successful person, they are good at dusting off and getting back on the saddle after so-called failure. Some people even say there is no such thing; there is only learning or success. This is a great way to view it. This attitude and way of looking at things helps us improve and be better. When we dismiss things as failure, we can often miss the learning which forms the rungs of the ladder to achievement and can even feel discouraged to try again.

They say it takes a child up to 4000 attempts to learn to sit up straight. As long as we are looking to grow or improve ourselves or do things we have not done before, we must realise that we will not do everything right first time. Learning to do new things and taking on new challenges prepares us for expansion and wider horizons.

Our attitude has a big impact on our day and our life. When you wake up, what you tell yourself about the day ahead has a big influence on how it will be for you.

If your attitude is good, you will have a good day. If your attitude is great, you will have a great day. If your attitude is otherwise, you will bring that about too.

Thought, word, action, habit, character, destiny. Our thoughts are the building blocks of our life and our underlying attitude informs our thoughts.

A good attitude will always find the good in things and make the best of things The opposite is also true.
