How many times do you feel that you are a victim of circumstances? This kind of thoughts come to mind regularly, when something is not right. You feel that everything which is happening to you, is because of the surroundings you have. However, the real reason behind is that you have low locus of control. Let’s discuss about this in this post.
Locus of control: It is a personality psychological term which measures how one thinks that he can control the events that affects him.
While it is true that many events happening around you might be out of your control, but you can always control your reactions towards them. Your reaction determines that the situation is going to improve or it is going to be worse. And to control you reaction, you should have complete confidence in yourself and your abilities that you can turn things around, however bad they are.
Stop complaining; identify solution instead
First thing you need to do is to find out how you can improve the situation. Stop complaining right away, start identifying the solution. Complaining about luck or situation is not going to help anyways.
Practice makes a man perfect
You have to identify your strengths, the things you do really well. Start practicing them and master them. It will give you the required confidence to change the situation.
Positive attitude does matter
As Zig Ziglar said, it’s not your aptitude, but your attitude which determines your altitude.Having a positive attitude really helps in life. Your intelligence will take you at some level, but believe me, it’s the attitude which gives you an edge over others. Your winning attitude gives you the final cut over others. Consider the scenario of a race where every participant has almost similar body strength, similar running tactics and similar abilities. In such case, the one will great attitude has certain mental advantage over others which will make him win the race.
And remember, having positive attitude is a habit, which you need to keep practicing. If you think you can, you definitely can. Otherwise you, yourself, are not sure about your abilities, others will get to know this really quick.
Follow your dreams
Have you ever thought that how exactly you lost the track of life? It is because you stopped chasing your dreams. You started doing things what other wanted or expected you to do. Or probably, you may even have started living someone else’s life. Wake up now. You will control on your life, once you do what you want to do, not what others expect you to do. Start chasing your dreams. It may be difficult, not impossible.
And finally, believe that you are the creator of your destiny
Yes, you need to trust that fact. God is there to help you (if you believe in God), good luck will also come to you, but you will have to work for it. God will be able to help you only when you can help yourself. And luck is a combination of opportunity with capabilities. To exploit any opportunity which comes to you, you have to prepare for it. You have to build your capabilities and practice them to the perfection level.
You can create you destiny and you will, if you believe so.
