SHIFTING OUR ATTITUDE TO SHIFT THE WORLD

The longer we live, the more we should realize how much impact attitude has on people’s lives. A person’s attitude is more important than education. It’s more important than money, circumstances, failures, successes, appearance or skill. It’s especially more important than what others think, say or do. The attitude of everyone involved will make or break a company, church, home – or a Country.

The change starts by shifting our focus. Once others start focusing on the issues instead of gossip and their own special interests, and listen, attitudes of the people will start to change. The silent majority will wake up, become proud of their actions and get involved in helping others, not just themselves.

In turn, our attitudes will continue to shift, and they’ll start working harder to agree instead of disagree; we are much more similar than we are different, and we need to look for those similarities first. This will allow us to debate at a civil level. This cycle will continue, moving us and our country closer to actually fixing our problems, with workable solutions. We don’t need to always agree, we need to listen and tolerate the opinions of others.

The remarkable thing is that this change is something that we, as individuals can control, and can do it every day. We always have a choice regarding the attitude we embrace. We cannot change the past, or the fact that other people will act or believe in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. But we can change our attitude. And we’re the only ones who can change it. Learn “how to think” instead of being told “what to think." Do you like being a follower?

We at Unpolitically Correct are convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. So change how you react to all the things in this world we can, and you might just change the World itself. Hopefully, our leaders and influential people will lead us in this effort.

There is a prayer that we recommend to all, religious or not, that helps going into and coming out of uncomfortable situations, where solutions are being sought.

The Serenity Prayer
God (optional) grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.
