The key to attaining success in life is attitude.

The most important thing is being honest with yourself. To do this here are a few points to follow :

1. Assume responsibility for your actions:

There is a saying that “You reap what You sow”. The meaning is, your rewards depend on the contributions you make or the actions you take. You yourself must take the credit or the blame for your place in life. Responsible people take ownership of their current situation and make necessary changes to get back on their feet and out of adversity. Whereas those who keep blaming the world or the society etc for the situation, never try to change their situation.

Each of you has the option to alter your destiny, all you must do is have the courage and take responsibility for your life.

2. Find your own gifts and follow your own goals:

No matter what happens in life, always remember to be true to yourself. Always live according to your own deepest convictions and abilities, dare to be different, while respecting the rights of others.

You should take time to find out what you are “good at”, your skills and abilities, and try to do something productive with those skills that you are passionate about. You should have self-discipline, goal-setting, and consistency in whatever you do in life.

3. Don’t escape – adapt:

The key to success, to mental health and physical health, is adaptability. Under pressure, many of you tend to give up, become depressed, lose your excitement about life. Many turn to drinking and smoking etc to cope with the pressure. But these are only temporary solutions, which can cause more harm than good for you and those around you. One of the best ways to deal with the pressures in life is to accept them and see what you can do to handle them. Adversities and failures in life are stepping stones to success if you look at them as corrective feedback.

In developing the right attitude for success, you can take responsibility for your life, make use of your gifts and talents, and use them for developing yourself and also have a positive impact or contribution to society.

Losers let life happen to them; winners make it happen.

Living life with gratitude is something that everyone should try to follow. Being grateful always brings down a blessing. Gratitude for the little things in life is how we can have a fulfilled life. There are many things that we can be grateful for. Few examples, that we are able to wake up every morning to a brand-new day, for our good health, for a roof over our head, for our family, for the food we eat, for the education we received, for all our senses, for the air we breathe, for the nature that surrounds us. There are those who do not have a few of the things listed above.

I can go on with many things…. Those who have not yet had the chance to read my book “A Small Handbook on Living Life” can do so, I have written a small chapter on Gratitude.

The more grateful we become; we can view life from a different perspective. We can find joy in the things that surround us.
