The Right Attitude Can Lead To Empowerment

A young girl walks on the lonely street,unhappy with herself.She is not beautiful like others are,my friends have boyfriends and i do not.Since i am not beautiful I don't have any boyfriend.A strong breeze blows against her face and her silky hair starts dancing.It says to her 'Be like me my child,go with the flow and you will glow; The  breeze teaches her to have an attitude which will lift her beyond mere physical beauty.The breeze is constantly moving,so to move with the vastness of life without getting stuck, be like it, constantly move. The breeze says to her "I do not move for happiness but out of happiness, I do not dance with happiness but out of happiness. A youth should learn the art to operate from happiness and not for happiness. Happiness is an attitude. To be a winner in life is also an attitude."
Your attitude is more important than the facts as the right attitude can empower you. When you are empowered, you are bigger than the problem rather than the victim to a problem, And living in such a space makes you a winner.
An easy task becomes difficult when you have a poor attitude. A difficult task becomes challenging when you have a good attitude.

Change your mind. Always entertain healthy thoughts. Positive thoughts are great assets. A pessimist sees difficulties in an opportunity and an optimist sees opportunity in a difficult. Understand that one door closes, another opens. Trust life, insecurity invites you to be alert and not worried. It tells you to be creative and not to complain. One has to know how to take easy and float in life and not fight with life. You can't fight with the ways but learn to float.

Change your emotions. The quality of your life is the quality of your consistent emotions. When your emotion is low just change it, think of a happy incident.

Change your values. Have value that connect to goodness and connect two people. Lots of people fear failure, death, insecurity and rejection, come from a commitment that failure is only postponed success. Failure is the fertilizer  for success. If you bring this energy into your life, it will give you methods of handling fear or failure. Also understand fear is a movement of thought. Thought is nothing but a moment of mental word.
When fear happens, just become totally aware and don't  get identified with that thought with wordless awareness just watch. This watch will not allow the previous fear to affect your present.
You feel insecure because you have a concept of 'what is security!' and from that concept you are seeing life. Anything that does not fit your concept makes you insecure.

You have the spirit of adventure in you then insecurity is a great adventure for you to explore. You will have fun with that insecurity. Learn to trust that insecurity is inviting you to be creative.
