A CONVERTED ATTITUDE

ATTITUDE

## A CONVERTED ATTITUDE IS THE KEY TO A TRANSFORMED LIFE

Think again!

The statement looks dicey but let's talk through it.

Firstly let's explain the terms used in this statement before going into the nitty-gritty.

**CONVERTED**- To be converted means to change from one form to another;to change from an old thing to a new one;to take a new look;to change into something different.

**ATTITUDE**- Your attitude is your behaviour towards anything;your mindset about something;your reaction;what you think about that thing.

**KEY**- Key is pathway;code to to unlock;the way out;solution.

**TRANSFORMED**- Transformed is just like CONVERTED. To change;to rebuild;to remould;to reshape;to convert.

**LIFE**- Your life is how you live;what becomes of you;what you do with yourself;your life is you.

Having taken time to define those 5 words, let's go back to the sentence, "A converted attitude is the key to a transformed life". It means  a **change** of **mindset/behaviour** is the **pathway** to **remould you**.

*Your attitude as a human determines the quality of your life*. What do you think about yourself?  What's your drive?  What do you think about your life?  Do you think your life in the light of your birth story?  Or your environment?  Or your challenges?. One thing you have to know is that, who you are is not about your birth story or your environment, not even the challenges you face. Who you are is not your name, it is about who you are or who you choose to be. What others think or say about you is not you but rather what you think about yourself or what you choose to be. *Your attitude towards yourself is you*.

Many a times people think themselves in the light of their environment, being told stories, *"no one has made it out of this environment"*. *"no one came out of this place and become great"*. *"it is equal to impossible to make it"*. Words like this being said to someone might affect them and leaving them to feel inferior about themselves and making them think that they can't be better than that or greater than that. Who said you can't be better than that?  Who said you can't be greater?  Who said that's the limit of your life?  Your life is not about that fable of a story or that mystical history but rather about bringing out that positivity inside you out of the negativity you were told. You have a different life from the former. You have something they don't have;strength to strife[to survive, to fly]. You can only allow those words said to you affects you if you don't think otherwise(positive). We all are great on the inside[we have greatness in us]. We have greatness but we are  being buried under low self esteem because of our environment and challenges. Challenges are part of the process(steps)  to greatness. You make your challenges your stepping stone by bringing positivity our of negativity. Its hard but you have to stay true to yourself. No one can define the quality of your life for you, you are the only one capable of doing that.

*Not everyone was born rich but we were born to be great[to rule, to dominate, to take over]*.  Jabez was not born rich but had a converted attitude about himself and God helped him. David was only a shepherd boy but had a positive mindset about himself and he became king. David had never trained as a soldier, yet he defeated a mighty warrior who has been fighting in his whole life. Esther was the daughter of a slave, yet she became a queen. All of this people had an horrible background just like many of us now but they had a converted attitude about themselves and they became who they are meant to be. *Its not about your background, its about what becomes of you*. You might not be there yet but you are close to becoming that someone you want to be but until you change your attitude about yourself, you'll never become that someone you are meant to be. It doesn't matter where you are living or what they say to you, prove them wrong and make use that little chance as a driving force for you to discover your true self. *Until you discover your self you'll never know what you are capable of doing*. Change that attitude about yourself. Yes, you!. Until you discover your true self, you'll never know what you carry. Leave that confine that you are in and change your mindset then change you.

Dr. Myles Munroe said, *"Your attitude is the manifestation of who you think you are"*. What comes out of you is dependent on your attitude[what you  think of yourself]. People will try to bring you down, they'll say deterring words to you and even try to defame you but act like it didn't happen or you didn't listen to them, don't let their words gets to you but just keep going, each step you take is one step closer. When they defame you, that's a good thing because people will only try to defame you because you're better than them and they possess not what you have. You don't have to prove them wrong but show them what you are capable of, show them the strength in you. It'll never get better if you don't act. The world is waiting for you, [for your true nature]. Someone has been waiting for you all their life and your influence will keep them believing. Show the world what you're made of and you'll take over.

       Remember, **A CONVERTED ATTITUDE IS THE KEY TO A TRANSFORMED LIFE**. The change begins with you. Change your mindset, Change your focus. Change your thoughts. Change you and change the world.
