Attitude and positivity often moves in spirals..
When good things happen, they keep spiralling up till a point where we feel we can practically achieve anything. Then, all of a sudden, life hits back and shows us who’s boss and we fall a peg or two. This is generally combined with similar circumstances and suddenly we are staring at the ground all over again..
(Also, reflective of the economy as stocks and shares are based on feeling as well..)
The difference in the attitude of winners is that while there are phases of ‘lows’ per se, they do not let their confidence spiral all the way to the bottom.. Basically, the higher the lowest point of the spiral, the better we are. That’s why Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo in football, Jordan’s and Bryant’s of basketball are where they are.. incredible self belief in picking themselves up.
This fluctuation happens even more so in our teenage when we are susceptible to emotions.. and I guess I’m finding myself in a phase of growing up where I’m learning not to get too high on the highs(even though it is tempting when I feel like I am king of the world.. haha) because I am going to get hit – that’s a fact.. atleast it’ll make the fall softer and the rise easier..
Important to have a base which is right in the middle.. and that base, in my understanding and interpretation, comes from a strong value system..
Again, it’s just a viewpoint.
