The power of Attitude can be found in Proverb 23;6-7, of which it can make us or brake us, and can heal us or hurt us. The same is true, that it can make us friends or can make us enemies. It can make us happy or miserable or make us a success or a failure in the journey of life. It is also true, that often times, the whole world stinks, but however, there is a narratives that says, about the cranking grandpa, who lay down to take a nap. But to have a little fun, the grandson has to put some limburger cheese on his mustache, just right under his nose. But when grandpa finally wake up, he shouted as loud as he could, -“the whole house stink !. He could not stop there; he shouted more loudly, the whole world stinks. But you know what the truth is, that it was grandpa who stunk or who is stinking. Simply because the problem was right under his nose.

The same is true, that when we think or feel that things in life stunk, the problem is not with the world or others but right within us, due to our attitude that has become so high in negativity. Because the moment we change our attitude to negative the whole world stinks but when we have a positive attitude, the whole world changes and no longer stinks. Now, how important is our attitude? Really, our attitude is more important than facts, circumstances, and what other may say about us at any given time. The same is true, it is more important than our past, than our education and indeed than our money. But we must understand that our attitude is much deeper than just a few of our thought or what we might think. Because our attitude comes from the very core of our being and it represent our disposition, our outlook and indeed, our character. This is because, our attitude often reveals who we really are according to Proverb 23; 7, “For as man thinks in his heart, so he is… (NKJV).

It is self-evidence, that it is not always easy when the stuff of life takes a knock on us, as to even kick one in the stomach. But at any such time, we must remember that there is something, that any type of situation cannot take away from you, and that is the power to choose your own attitude any given time. The very idea to blame our bad attitude on others or a difficult circumstance is but a false claim and outright lame excuse. The truth is that we must be on guide not to allow any event and people to cause us to put up with a negative attitude, otherwise, we only hurt ourselves the more with the effect and misery of the baggage our bad attitude may bring with it. But make no mistake that the awesome power to manipulate or choose our attitude is always the first thing in our disposition at any given time.

Therefore, the irony of our age stern from the very fact that in an age of much progress, what purpose could have appear more evident than the increase in the wellbeing of those who most need them , although, there remain an infinite scope of disagreement as to what means might be most effective to attain such end. The advent of globalization has given rise to the contrasting approaches of market –based macro-economic from work that has been the foundation of good governances on the one hand, and the sustainable human development on the other. Although, the later tends to put premium first on enhancing human capabilities and spreading the benefit of economic growth without much compromise of the need for the future generation.
Consequently, there is a paradox posed by individual desirable approaches which inevitably is at the center of this concept. As Goethe famously observed, “boldness has genius, magic and power in it”. The current reality call for boldness more than ever in support of any courageous act and fearless heart that remains open no matter what for the sake of collective good. The open heartedness that mitigate against defensive posturing and loss of faith that may be the foundation, if we choose, that enable clarity of effort and sense of direction that may have been lacking overtime.

Therefore, we must guide against the seed in our heart crusading for a cause without thought or respect for those who are on different cause. Because no matter how right we may feel, no matter how true our perspective may sound, but to continue to insist others share it, is in itself to reveal the very lie that perpetuate the conflict we are seeing around us today. We must take the first step, for others to emulate in our positive attitude to enhance the spirit of collective interest in what looks like, in deficiency and decaying situation .
