Recently I was talking to someone who was wondering what her outcome was going to be in a particular situation. She was not focused on what we were talking about. Instead, she just wanted to know what the outcome was going to be.
My friend was anxious and had a rather negative outlook on the possible outcome. I asked her if she knew what the number one addiction was in our country. She seemed puzzled that at a time like this I would ask such a question. Finally, she said money. I said no, guess again. She was getting frustrated. However, she wanted to know and wanted to know now! I smiled and said OUTCOME. We are addicted to the outcome.
How you look at your world is through the prism of your attitude. We want a positive outcome all the time. I believe the outcome we get is what we put into it. The power of the mind is simple; you become what you think about. No secret there. Taking it one step further, your outlook determines your outcome.
Our outlook on life can either send us to our destination and keep us on track or derail us from accomplishing what we want. Your outlook is a state of mind. It can be an attitude, a passion, or a deep desire. It can also be a violation, rage, oppression, and discouraging. When you are looking for your outcome, what is your outlook? Are you optimistic or pessimistic? Do you see possibilities or are you stuck in the negatives?
When you make a choice to choose a positive outcome, it is within that moment of that choice that you are able to see the many wonderful possibilities. We can’t always choose what happens in life, and we will all experience challenges and obstacles; there is no way to get away from that. We do have control on how we view what happens in our life. It is important to look at situations and know you can learn from them in a positive way. This is truly how our outlook affects our outcome.
