Having A Thankful Attitude Has Now
Become Empty Gratitude
So many are expressing an entitlement attitude that having a
thankful attitude seems to be a thing of the past. Can learning
how to be thankful replace all the empty gratitude that surrounds
us.
Mindset Tips - A Simple Formula For
Being Happy Regardless of Cirumstance By Sean Patrick Simpson
Do you know what has a lot of negative power? It's the attitude
of entitlement!
And you know what demonstrates entitlement attitude? The attitude
of HAVE-DO-BE.
What does that mean? It means you believe that you must have a
lot of money before you can do the things you want, which will
then allow you to be the person you wish to be (that's just one
example of many).
The very important concept I learned from my mentor Scott
deMoulin is to BE-DO HAVE!
That is, you BE before you can DO, and you DO before you can
HAVE.
You don't need to HAVE certain things to BE
happy!
If that were the case then why would we have two completely
different reactions/responses to the scenario of a man's home
being burned down?
Person A: Reacts and curses at God saying, 'it's unfair! I earned
that home! I DESERVE it! Why have you let me down God?!"
Person B: Responds with gratitude to God saying, "Thank you for
this incredible challenge and opportunity God," and then gets
creative, finds a way to build a new home, and continues leading
an incredibly successful life.
How is that possible to have those two completely different
reactions if we must HAVE something to BE happy?!
It touches upon many concepts, three of
which are:
1. Taking 100% responsibility for your life
2. Entitlement vs. Non-Entitlement.
3. Have-Do-Be vs. Be-Do-Have.
100% Responsibility:
Sure you may be thinking, "Sean, how in the hell am I responsible
for my house burning down? What if a pyro-maniac literally
stormed the town and torched my home. What if there was a city
wide fire that was responsible? How coud I possibly be
responsible?!"
That question definitely touches on an area of gray for me as
well, and I'm not sure how we could be responsible for that sort
of thing (though I am open to the idea that we are). What if you
began acting 'as if' though?
How would your life change if you began acting 'as if' you were
responsible for everything that does or does not happen in your
life? You'd be AMAZED at how liberating it is and the creativity
that you could experience once you do that.
Entitlement Attitude:
On the entitlement attitude issue, person A feels entitled to the
materialistic items he owns. Person B on the other hand has
released his sense of entitlement.
What happens when your possessions become who you are? The second
you lose them your life is over!
Done!
Gone!
Zip!
Zilch!
You feel like you've lost everything you are. And you HAVE! How?
Because you were living by the concept that you must HAVE
something to BE something. You believe that you must HAVE riches
to BE happy.
Be-Do-Have
Wherever you are in your life, it is time to get rid of that
entitlement attitude! It is time to release it! It is time for
you release the addiction to needing to have something, and
instead just BEING!
Stop waiting to have riches to to make contributions (the do).
Stop waiting to have riches to be happy!
BE HAPPY NOW!
BE SUCCESSFUL NOW!
If you want to live a life of purpose, than begin living your
life on purpose! What's a great way to shift your paradigm to
be-do-have? Gratitude and Appreciation.
You see, what you appreciate appreciates! Appreciate what you
have NOW. Be grateful for what you have NOW. Stop waiting until
you have that perfect relationship or dream job. Take 100%
responsibility now, release that sense of entitlement to the
universe, and...
Be grateful. Be grateful. Be
grateful
NOW!
Remember, it's your choice to create an extraordinary life!
