My dear loving people,
From my hotel window in Kigali this morning, I watched a bike rider
slip off the road falling terribly onto a roadside flowerbed. He laid there for
some minutes and nobody was coming to his help, he looked up and around and
realising there was nobody coming, he got up, pickup his bike, examined it
over, dusted himself and road off. This got me thinking...
Attitude is everything I tell you and much more, a positive
attitude is a matter of choice. You can choose today to be happy or remain gloomy;
you can choose to go out today and start making it or to remain a complainer.
You can choose to go out there and earn clean money or to risk your life
playing dirty tricks with strange men or women and end up being swallowed by
snakes.
The rains will certainly spoil your day, the people
you count on will fail you, those you love will break your heart, the crops you’ve
grown might not produce, the economy might not improve… Yes! And very true but
you have the choice to take all these challenges as positive steps towards your
goal or to be defeated by them.
For example, if the rains spoil your most cherished and
planned picnic and you get angry, my question becomes; is the problem with you
getting angry with rain – an external condition you cannot control or the
problem is with you taking the spoiled picnic with hate? You see what I mean.
The bike man made a choice. He had the choice to
either remain there crying of pains and waiting for somebody to come to his
help or to get up and keep on. He decided to get up and to keep on. He saw
through the challenge to his days program and decided it will not stop him.
For sure trial moments will come your way, you will be
beaten down over and over as you try to make progress but the difference
between winners and losers is that Winners get up each time they fall and
continue in a batter way while losers accept the defeat and remain in agony. While
winners conquer new grounds, losers remain with the memories of past glories.
I invite you to adopt a Positive Mental Attitude today
and see the difference it will make in your life.
