As we have
learned these last many months we are often not in control of the issues we
face at work or home. For most of us, the pandemic has upended our entire
lives: Important projects have halted, we’ve lost jobs, canceled momentous
trips, gone weeks (and counting) without hugging our family and friends.
Nothing seems “normal.”

There are so
many things out of our control right now. Our home work environment, home
schooling of our kids, the health of our loved ones, the global spread of
COVID-19, and the impending global recession/depression that is sure to follow.
Perhaps the most frustrating part? We have no idea how much longer this
quarantine will last. We can’t help but ask, will it ever end?

While we may
not wish to acknowledge it, uncertainty is a natural and unavoidable part of
life. Very little about our lives is constant or totally certain, and while we
have control over many things, we can’t control everything that happens to us.
As the coronavirus outbreak has shown, life can change very quickly and very
unpredictably.

In determining
how we face our challenges it is our attitude that is the key. You are not
responsible for everything that happens to you, but you are responsible for how
you react to what does happen to you. You have a choice as to what your
attitude will be.

Use these four
steps to have a super attitude:

Focus On The
Future

Focus On The
Solution

Look For The
Good

Look For The
Valuable Lesson

So much of our
anxiety comes from losing control, so you have to take control when you can. Having
the right attitude can make the difference. A positive attitude can motivate
other people to change their negative thinking. Everything is possible with
right attitude behind you to push you forward. And since you do have a choice,
most of the time you’ll be better off if you choose to react in a positive and
don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control.
