Attitude Wins

Your attitude really can make a difference. Think about the most successful people you know. Are they more often positive and upbeat? How often do you hear them complain or whine about the negative? Do you find these successful people to be more positive, enthusiastic, energetic and happy? Do they most often see the good in others?

Every day people are bombarded by negative news. Crime, politics, war and a host of bad news fill the airways. Successful people minimize their exposure to all this bad news and instead choose to fill their minds with positive ideas from books and magazines. They tend to look upon problems as opportunities waiting to be uncovered.

Successful people command their thoughts and emotions. As soon as bad thoughts intrude, they cast out anything that challenges their ability to succeed at the task at hand. They do not dwell on negative notions. Their self-talk is positive and not overly critical. They replace bad thoughts with good ones.
