With the current economy going in a downward spiral, many people are in fear of losing their jobs. The headlines state the job losses will be significant in all sectors. Is your attitude coming into line with the current situation or is your attitude going in the direction you want it to go?

Will you be one of those people who might loose their job?

If you are actually thinking in this manner, then chances are you will loose your job. The potential job loss is a reflection of your current attitude. What you think about in life is what you attract. If you add strong emotion to these thoughts that attraction becomes even stronger. Is this the unconstructive outcome you want? Is this the negative attitude you require?

What happens to your job is not within your control. What you think about is 100% within your control as are your self talk and your reaction to these circumstances. You need to focus on what is within your control and develop a strong, positive attitude.

Experience has changed my attitude and has shown me that there is an advantage behind every disadvantage. When things happen in your life, they usually happen for a good reason. However, it sometimes takes time to realize the advantage behind the disadvantage. I have lost jobs in the past yet, when I look back at those losses today I realize they were my greatest opportunities to move forward in a better and more rewarding manner.

What is happening in the economy now is not within our control. However, our reaction to this recession is certainly within our control. It is evident that due to the economy's downward spiral, people's attitudes appear to follow in the same downward motion. They become sadly negative and waste precious time thinking and talking about the things they don't want, instead of investing valuable time in the things they do want.

This is a good time to define what you want out of life. This is the time to look into the mirror and reflect on where you are, where you want to go and what you want to be or do. This is the time to take control of your life, your attitude and not be a victim of circumstance. This is the time to define what you want and to put a plan together to make it happen.

We all know that just before success stands a brick wall. Losing your job could be that brick wall. Correspondingly, you are on top of a mountain and you want to maintain that position or better yet, move onto the next mountain top. However, to maintain that position requires a strong belief that you will survive the downturn. This belief will be reflected in your attitude.

Similarly, to move onto the next mountain top also requires belief and determination. Nevertheless, one also needs to be aware not only of their thinking and actions but also, aware of obstacles along the way. When you become aware of potential obstacles on your path to success, you create contingency plans. In this respect, obstacles, like job loss, are not as critical as they may be for others due to your contingency plan.

Now is the time to have a proactive attitude. You want to capture an optimistic attitude which is headed in a precise direction. You want to grasp an attitude incorporating a contingency plan that no matter what happens, you will be prepared and in control of your reaction. After all, it is your life. Don't you want to live the life you crave?
