If your life's successes are less than you want them to be; here is something leaders have discovered and put into action in their lives. Attitudes, like character, are not easily changed. They determine your emotional wellness and can only be changed by changing you thoughts. 4. The Part Emotions Play As stated, emotions or "feelings" result from attitude. Emotions must be controlled at
source or root by choosing to think true thoughts which are in agreement with God's laws. Remember, those are thoughts which will keep you on course of obtaining your goals and fulfillment of your life's purpose. Also, bear in mind, as emotional beings we tend to be led or guided by our feelings. We equate feelings with reality. To many, reality is that which is comfortable. Leadership involves knowing we are to be controlled by our will, our freedom of choice. That is why leaders are called upon to make 'tough' decisions. True leaders will do right thing even when it is uncomfortable to do so. They know what a man or women chooses to believe is what they really are. Feelings must be brought under control. Feelings should be validated, but true love is a choice. 5. Where Your Heart Is; There Lay Your Treasure Our feelings are what motivate us to action. These actions are called Behaviors. Any person is capable of any act when emotions are aroused and circumstances are just right for that act. It is impossible to change some bad behavior patterns we developed in life without first correcting "false-hoods" upon which attitudes were formed, arousing feelings from which behavior springs. In areas we are lacking or not achieving desired results in our lives we can consequently change our thoughts which will lead to new attitudes and a correction of a behavior. Success.
6. Faith or Fear These are two most powerful forces governing human behavior. We are either standing in Faith or Fear. Faith is positive action upon a belief, while fear is operating in unbelief. I know I covered this, but it so important I thought it would only be right to reiterate it before closing. We must choose faith to achieve real success in life.
7. The Ultimate Standard of Excellence The principles outlined above will be helpful to anyone seeking to improve themselves and get more out of life. Many with emotional, physical, mental or spiritual problems have found them to be a good place to start on road to recovery. None less, it would be futile to speak of any in depth 'healing' or lasting benefits unless spirit of that person has first been 'healed.' True and lasting healing must take place from within, for spirit of man is essence of man. Therefore, everything begins in spirit, is channeled through our souls (our minds, wills, and emotions) and brought into this 3-D world of understanding through our bodies. Since this is a discussion on leadership, I want to draw attention to greatest leader who ever lived. He has influenced more lives than all kings who ever ruled, presidents who ever presided, or government that ever governed.
His name is Jesus. Even time itself is chronicled upon His birth. There is only one way to receive spiritual health from which all other wellness springs and that is through receiving Life itself in person of Jesus Christ. As we base our life on patterns and principles He lived and taught while on this earth, most of emotional problems in life dissolve. As we continue to learn His ways and apply them to our lives we make wiser decisions and therefore obtain and maintain more meaningful lasting relationships.
As we practice true leadership skills He gave us we accomplish more and impact more lives of those around us in a positive way achieving desired success we are seeking. As we meet needs of others and help them become more successful we are a success. Some Attitudes For Leadership 1. It is Attitude, not Aptitude, which governs Altitude.
2. The Purpose of Existence is to Make a Life, not Just a Living.
3. A Positive Thought is Down Payment on an Obligation to Succeed.
4. Regrets Stem from Those Things We Failed to Attempt, So Keep Trying.
5. Complaining is Refuge of Those Who Have no Reliance from Within.
6. The Amount of Life You Exchange for Something, Determines it's Ultimate Cost.
7. Anything Mind of Man Can Conceive and Believe, Can Be Achieved with Right Action.
8. To Try and Have Failed is More Honorable Than Life Spent Doing Nothing.
9. The Worst Bankruptcy is Person Who Has Lost Enthusiasm.
1. Nobody Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent.
