ATTITUDE LEADS TO
ALTITUDE!
BY ABU MUHAMMAD YUSUF ON 01

From time to time we all experience
challenges. It could be when we encounter some difficult situations in our life or business or we have
problems with health or even just day to day issues. What is really important is how we face up and react to those challenges. Our
attitude and trust in our Creator will determine how much we succeed.
Attitude Leads to Altitude!
According to scientists, the
bumblebee's body is too heavy and its wing span too small. Aerodynamically, the bumblebee cannot fly. But the bumblebee doesn't know that and it keeps
flying.
When you don't know your
limitations, you go out and surprise yourself. In hindsight, you wonder if
you had any limitations! The only limitations a person has are those
that are self-imposed. Don't let physical conditions dictate how you respond to life’s challenges.
There is a story about a group small frogs who took part in a race.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to se the race and cheer on the contestants. Then they were off! No one in the crowd really believed
that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower and they began to yell things like:
“Oh, way too difficult!!”, “They will
NEVER make it to the top”, “Not a
chance that they will succeed. The
tower is too high!”
The tiny frogs began collapsing one
by one, but there were some that
were managing to climb higher and
higher.
The crowd continued to yell: “It is
too difficult!!! No one will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave
up. But one frog continued higher
and higher and higher. This one
wasn’t giving up!
At the end, every other frog had
given up climbing the tower except
for the one tiny frog who, after great
effort, was the only one who reached
the top! All of the other tiny frogs
naturally wanted to know how this
one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog who
had succeeded how it had found the
strength to reach the goal?
It turned out…that the winner was
deaf.
Never listen to people who have a
tendency of negative or are
pessimistic because they may
impede your progress and stop you
from achieving your dreams.
Everything that you hear and see can
affect you in so many ways. So filter
and entertain only those that will
have a positive bearing on your life.
“Indeed, will not
change the condition of a people
until they change what is in
themselves.”
( , 13:11)
So where do we start?...Changing our
attitude to POSITIVE MODE is vital!
Therefore always trust in Allaah, be
positive and think," I can do this!"
Remember an optimist will see an opportunity in every difficulty whereas a pessimist will see a difficulty in every opportunity.
