Attitude Is Everything – Change It to Change Your Life

We all have things we want to accomplish in life. We create goals, and then we work hard to make them happen. At first, full of enthusiasm, it seems as if nothing can stop us. But as time passes, we begin to face difficulties, we make mistakes, become exhausted and eventually give up. Something is wrong, something is missing. What is it?

Being motivated and setting goals are both necessary ingredients for success, but I have come to the realization that those don’t lie at the core of self-actualization. Instead, it is the attitude from which all must begin. Attitude is everything.

Without the right attitude set in place, everything else is easily shattered. It is like having a house built with no foundation. As soon as the rain starts pouring, the house falls apart. As soon as the first problems come around, we get discouraged and quit.

How to Accept Yourself – Your 6 Must-Know Rules

Let’s start off with a little experiment. Please close your eyes and think of a really sad moment from your past. Spend half a minute thinking about it. Now give what you are feeling a name.

Then think of an amazing moment from your past. Spend half a minute on it. Once you are done, give what you are feeling a name.

How did you feel when you thought of something sad? How did you feel when you thought of something amazing? Well, if you are like most people, then you probably didn’t enjoy the first part of the experiment at all. The second part, on the other hand, was great. The point of this experiment is to show you that whatever we focus on, we feel. We feel things, and then we name them. We do this all the time.

Stop Using Sports for Politics and Hate! It’s to Unite, to Celebrate

To be honest, I never was a big fan of football (soccer, for those of you that are American). I’ve always been quite lousy with the ball myself, and Russia, the country that I am from, isn’t exactly great at it either. But because this year the FIFA World Cup was being held in Russia, and the team seemed to do better than it ever has, I decided to follow the event as much as possible.

What I witnessed both amazes and disgusts me. On the one hand, I see so much happiness and union between people from all over the world, having the time of their lives while celebrating and cheering for their own as well as other countries. But on the other hand, I see how the mass media has been using the event to build anger and hate between people. It’s just plain awful and ugly.

Yes, I know that politics have always been a part of sports and probably always will be, but the extent to which it has happened this year is just beyond my ability to rationalize it.
