Polishing the diamond in you

“ Before you can define success, you need to look at the whole person and consider his personal life, his professional life and his spiritual life. Does the person apply himself 100%? Does the person utilize the talents that God has given him to the best of his ability? If he uses his God-given talent as best he can, I would call him a very successful person” -Lt. Col. Dennis Krembel, USAF

We all start out as unformed, unpolished diamonds. Those who are successful discover the gem within themselves, unleash their own potential, and capitalize on their inner beauty and value. It takes art, skill and concentrated effort for a person to take a diamond, which comes from the remote depths of the earth, to recognize its potential, and to cut and shape it into a precious stone. The same applies to a person to recognize your own potential , which comes from deep within your soul, cut and shape it into its most rewarding and fulfilling form.

Why is it two people of equal talent and ability don’t always achieve equal success? What is the common denominator that puts these people in the category called “successful”?

The strongest link is summed up in one word- ATTITUDE. Attitude is defined as the mental position you take regarding a fact or a state. Supposed you are fired from your job or lost a business deal. What is you mental position toward these facts? Are you devastated? Destroyed? Or determined to learn whatever you can from it and move on?

We are entitled to our emotions. Emotions are neither positive nor negative. It isn’t “bad” to feel fear, anger or depression. Emotions make us human, but they can have a negative influence if we let them deter us from moving forward. It’s your mental position, your attitude toward any incident, that determines whether it will scar you for life or serve as a lesson and a pathway to other opportunities.

The most successful people are able to maintain a positive mental position even when hardship strikes. They allow themselves to experience their emotions, work through them, and then go on with their lives.

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”- John Homer Miller

Positive Attitude Comes With Practice

It doesn’t take years of hard work or magical experiences to develop a positive attitude. It takes practice.
Generally, people react to the way you approach them. If you are angry and upset with the world, you will surely find people who are angry and upset with you. On the other hand, if you are warm and open, you will find people will be that way with you.
There was a story about an office worker, every morning when he walked in the office he gave his moody Boss a big smile and a cheerful Good Morning, every morning, his Boss seems to ignored him.
One day, a friend asked the man, “Why do you continue to give Boss such cheerful greetings? He never even bother to reply you”
The man replied, “I am not going to let one individual determine the way I’m going to be all day.”
Here is a man who was being Proactive to his environment, not Reactive.

You too can be proactive and positive with practice.
