Flat tyres

“A bad attitude is like a flat tyre…  You can’t go anywhere until you changed it…”  ~ Anonymous

Ever had that sinking feeling when you realise you have a flat tyre and know you’re not going to go anywhere until you have fixed it?  A flat tyre can bring you to a complete standstill.  At least that is until you fixed it. 

Whether you are hurt by what people said or hurt by those whom you trust, or simply hurt because of what you’re going through, the pain thereof can bring your life to a standstill.  You have a ‘flat tyre’.

You can sit there and wait for a miracle… you can call for help… or you can start changing the tyre.  You have a choice. 

Likewise we have a choice in terms of our attitude.  This requires introspection and honesty with oneself.  It’s not always easy to realise that the problem lies with yourself, but once you do, at least you can start working on it.  “You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”  ~ Brian Tracy quotes
