Does Your Attitude Keep You From Having Quality of Life?

Goal setting is a useful action

Quality of life is accomplished when attentive attention, goal setting, and purposeful action are organized into an active agreement. Happiness, well being, since of accomplishment, good health, purposeful acts, are all part of your quality of life experience. Quality of life is a positive experience of involvement where action is welcomed.

Wealth in itself is a material condition and not a prerequisite for happiness. While wealth may contribute to elevated life style and longevity it does not necessarily lend to inner peace or material quality. Quality is not a substitute element for inner satisfaction. Satisfaction of one’s inner self comes when there is a conscious blending between soul and spirit coupled with material completion.

When seeking life’s traits there must be a realization of acceptable accomplishments and balance of spirit before one can claim success. When a person resolves that he/she does not fill the requirements for satisfaction, then he/she will become dissatisfied and quality of life disintegrates. On the other hand, when a person has grasped the golden ring of success, then success is his/her reward.

Lieutenant Edward Tidrick in Boat No. 2 cries out: "My God, we're coming in at the right spot, but look at it! No shingle, no wall, no shell holes, no cover. Nothing!"

They fought their way across the beach and into the arms of the enemy but failure was no option and success was their battle cry. And succeed they did. When the enemy saw their determination, they were defeated.

Take Your Position On The Battle Field

You must take your position on the battle field. Are you ready to sacrifice all for success? That D Day charge was fueled by the overpowering urge and heart felt need to defend freedom. Isn’t that what it is all about in the end . . . freedom? Your freedom, that of your wife and children, how about the many people you will be able to help. If you only had the money, if only you were free.

Quality of life is in living it to its fullest, isn’t it? Can’t you picture yourself free of any burdens, worries, obstructions. Think about it, nothing to slow you down, get in the way of your success? You are free at last!

You must maintain a positive attitude.

Freedom also suggest a positive attitude but just because you are positive don’t ever think life will serve you a rose garden. Life is full of junk, served up all sugar coated and tempting. There are many times when stress and negative events, will get the best of you. There's no getting around it, at times, life stinks like rotten eggs and dodo. The best of relationships, jobs, financial matters, physical fitness, religion will fall into question as they all present crushing challenges. With each dawning day a new chapter of life will present complexities unique to that particular day. While no day will be completely free from challenges it can be met with the confidence and assurance that you can triumph.

Always remember, it is important that you face your adversity and that you maintain a positive attitude. A truth is, anything can be overcome with the right attitude. Your attitude without a doubt, is the one most important things you have and guess what, you are in control of it 100%. That’s right, it's entirely up to you how you greet the world and everyone in it. Positive is met with positive, and your positive attitude will reflect a determination only shared by winning personalities.

The reality of it is, success and failure are the same, only on opposite sides of the coin. Don’t settle for a flip of the coin, make success your goal. It’s the law of cause and effect. If effects are to be changed, the cause must be altered. It’s the law, nothing personal, it’s the same for everyone.

How can you keep up a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity? First off, if you truly know yourself, you know that nothing can, in reality, effect you. You know how to meet each event in its' true form, as you look at it from a disconnected position. Don’t let any occasion become personal, keep it in its' prospective. Nothing in life is personal so don't act like it is! Don’t let circumstance control you. Take charge; if you maintain this position, nothing can affect you. No effect can affect your inner self or your integrity. You are in control in every situation, every event, the event does not control you. Don’t be like many people who go around taking everything personal. An event is an impersonal happening. It can only play out as you allow.

You are the captain of the ship, the engineer of your destiny.
