Attitude

For some time i couldnt help but wonder what a good attitude is. Is it all about the way we carry ourselves? or is it the way in which we think? or is it something that relate to the way in which we look at things other than ourselves? The important and decisive factor in life is not what happens to us, but the attitude we take toward what happens to us and things around us.

I have always been happy about my attitude and the way i carry myself. I believe that iam a positive thinker and a die hard optimist. but all this optimism sometimes gets over board and makes me wonder whether all my thoughts r real or just a dream. It worries me.... worries me to no end.... i was actually shocked to find myself a constant worrier!!!!!

Worrying is in many ways good coz its a kind of a reality check. But its hard to strike a balance at the beginning. but when it becomes a habit, worry is the worst enemy. it tramples the attitude and self doubt starts to loom around everywhere. Worry affects the circulation and the whole nervous system. Its hard to find a man who dies from overwork than many who have died from doubt.

According to a research by psychologists, 40% of our worries will never happen and that 30% have already happened. An additional 12% of our worries r over unfounded health concerns and 10 % more involve the daily miscellaneous fretting that accomplishes absolutely NOTHING. Now if my addition is right, that leaves only 8%. In other words, most of the people worry 92% of their time for no good reason.

Its a fact that we have an average of 60,00 thoughts running in our head every day and 95% of the 60,000 thoughts r the same everyday. It was hard for me to imagine that so much of human energy was wasted on such inconsequential thoughts which has the effect of destroying us.

So maybe what we could do is to stop worrying about things that we cannot change. Ok now.... i can understand that its not simple. Heck its not simple AT ALL. but well.... i guess there is nothing wrong in giving it a try. Like we could avoid re-winding that conversation with that "person" whom we have a crush on and stop worrying about how we couldve made it actually better. or the stupid line that we used in front of some people which wouldve saved us from some embarrassment. All these things happen to EVERYONE around n ya.... all of us do make fools out of ourselves at one point or the other.

Maybe if it is the L word that we r worrying about.... what the heck... We r here to rule and F*** *f* to anyone who has a problem with that. We could use up all the energy that we spend on worrying about doubts in a productive way like "what am i gonna do about my life?" ive learnt that if i dont like the way in which my life is going, then there is no point in stewing it up n fretting all about it. i could rather sit n do some serious thinking about what could be done about that.

So people..... dont waste ur time worrying... worry less and act more, because worry, like the rocking chair, won't take u anywhere.
