THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS ATTITUDE CHANGE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BEFORE CHANGING THE ATTITUDE !
This is one of those lines that came to my mind quite unpredictably. A realization that hit me, without an invitation to do so !
So I assumed it to be my duty to explain it to myself (and to others) as to what it meant to be.
I agree with you when ur first reaction must have been "ouch! what the HELL?!!". Trust me, I had fely the same !
But, to think about it , there seemed some truth about what came out of my sub-conscious (or total unconscious anyway)...
Here is an attempt at its explanation... hope it works !!! :P
"Attitude" is nothing but a strong, deeply embedded belief for or against something. Technically, that "something" is the attituide object.Never mind THAT!
My mind has , of late , ventured into looking at attitudes held be people.
Through my very humble and amateur research, I have figured that people who should rather change their attitude, do not believe that it can be changed. And THAT, i think is where the problem lies.
They possess a negative attitude towards the whole idea of attitude change. Their belief in the whole phenomena of changing life through a changed attitude seems to be down in the dumps!
Just imagine how wonderfully , and i would say magically , lives can be changed if ppl hold a positive attitude towards it , instead!
A negative attitude hurts more than a negative life perceived positively! And a negative attitude towards changing it makes it even worse!
Just think about it really ...
Okay, now without further explanation, i'd only say that one must understand the significance our thoughts hold on our life events and hence the whole life!
It is fascinating how such small, seemingly unimportant things can make huge differences !
After all, "faith can move mountains"!
ps. All I ask for is to move the attitude rather than any mountain ! = P
