The Attitude - by Mohammad Azim Khan Keyani

The Attitude
By Mohammad Azim Khan Keyani

Attitude of a person is the most priceless possession
‘Positive’ provides happiness and ‘negative’ with depression

In personal and professional life one can reach new highs
With positive attitude if a person struggles and continuously tries

Facing negative people confidently, we need to learn
Try our best to change them into our supporters in return

Sometimes from our families and environment we inherit
But have to face life's hardships with a renewed spirit

Into worries, stress and resentment should avoid to engage
Must try to control our emotional reaction to change

Challenges of practical life in order to successfully face
To ‘pessimism’ with ‘optimism’ we have to replace

A person who is always hardworking and remains active
May make such thoughts which are positive and productive

Even if something wrong in others we have found
Still stop critical comments for those who are around

For lack of opportunity, job insecurity or difficult boss
To boundaries of morality and ethics one should never cross

By positive thinking and motivational reading morale be lifted
A person’s direction towards ultimate destination be shifted

Some people believe that in their battle they have lost
Surrender to drift of life, never complain at any cost

Accumulation of suppressed emotions over period will contribute
In psyche of certain people development of negative attitude

People facing various adversities will start feeling to offend
For their own failures blaming others is a common trend

To success, progress or grace of others will hardly tolerate
Get bitter and resentful and shall not remain moderate

Will get frustration and resentment from surrounding factors
They will be no more positive but negative characters
Stress, a history of abuse or relationship which is bad
Plus poor self image can make a person something like mad

A positive change in overall attitude towards life is needed
Otherwise a person’s overall performance may be impeded

Tremendous power of negative emotions is a known reality
It can debilitate lives and in energy system may cause disparity

An important decision we make in our lives is “attitude”
In dealing with people either polite or should be rude

Choosing a positive state of mind will lead to success
In career path and during life in any other process

Difficulty at work, bad relationships and to unhappiness will lead
To get rid of negative attitude definitely there is a need

Those who want to protect themselves may note this please!!
Many deaths occur due to stress related cancer or heart disease

Stress is carried out via behaviours, perceptions and choices
It is generally result of negative attitude one hardly realizes

To blame circumstances or people may not spare a chance
However, to those things or people key is our response

A person may possess a very strong will but still
A sustained negative attitude to an individual can kill
With positive people, others would like to be around
No one likes to meet a person with negative background

In life for a different outcome we may have hoped
Important is whether with positive attitude we have coped

Should learn from experience and a positive attitude choose
Will prepare to win in challenges of life and may not lose

It is very much natural that people of negative mind
Will do their best for similar individuals to find

This is how in an organization negative attitude can spread
Its productivity may go down or become almost dead

Is used as self-esteem boost and powerful it feels
Negative thing of a negative person to many others appeals

Positive people see this world as a good place
Choose good attitudes and have smiles on the face

They have made the conscious decision to be this way
Will adopt positive attitude no matter what others say

Unfortunately if attitude of a person is negative and bad
It is possible to change it, there is no need to be mad

Attitude is not something which automatically will stuck
A person has to choose, it is not part of the luck

Learn from mistakes in some way if you did fail
Gain more knowledge and another opportunity can avail

Focus on the positive, and positive you will find
Try to take negative thinking out of your mind

It is useful that sufficient time with family one spends
Goes to gym, works-out, mediates or meets with friends

After continuous work all people do need a break
To any new place to their families they can take

Any extra time we all must use very wisely
For that we need to plan our daily schedule nicely

A person whose attitude is negative or critical constantly
May not enjoy the life and will remain upset mentally

Is it must to find something bad about every situation?
Share negative attitude with all with biased evaluation?

If we shall continue always to criticize and complain
With peace of mind on this planet can hardly remain

BUT what is in different people’s minds should we believe?
Is it result of treatment at hands of others they did receive?

Although there are external factors but still by and large
For our positive or negative attitude we ourselves are in-charge

‘Attitude is result of circumstances’, to some extent is correct!!!
But often circumstances are result of attitude in fact

We CAN make to live in, this world a pleasant place
With positive thinking to any kind of situation if face

If someone loses hope for future, it is a serious matter
Sooner this critical situation is changed, it is quite better

Poor attitude may cause experiences which could be unpleasant
Will definitely bring more problems it is correct 100 percent

To carry a negative attitude is not a matter of pride
People do not like it and may intentionally avoid

Even if it is not one is feeling from inside how
To the world, positive attitude one has to show

Life is too short and beautiful to look at darkly
Avoid seeing at it hopelessly but quite brightly

Sharing of brightness with others, if one can arrange
May see, will go through how much of a change

From living narrow, darkened and frustrated lives
Without being defensive, for better attitude a wise person strives

Positive person from God is one of the greatest gifts
People don’t like who drags ‘down’ but ‘up’ who lifts
