Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
~Harry Truman
Attitude is Everything!
Is your attitude pulling you down? Are you an optimist, glass half full, or a pessimist, glass half empty?
We have all experienced ups and downs in life. How we deal with them is what is important. How do you handle them? Do you say your business isn’t going to grow? If so, you’re letting your attitude get in the way! When we set our minds to the negative side, we are bound for failure.
Think about the most successful person you know! Ask yourself this, how did that person become successful? Was it because they took every failure and said, “I quit, this will never work.�?Of course not, they analyzed what went wrong, learned from it, and made sure they did not make that same mistake twice. Their attitude was not to fail!
Be aware of your thoughts, both negative and positive. Concentrate and overcome those negative thoughts. Your feelings are what you make them. If you focus on what is missing in your life, you will simply prolong obtaining that which you seek . Instead switch your thoughts to something positive, reflect about something good in your life. Be positive! Be definite!
If you find your are in need of a change in attitude, be sure to read my review of Dr. Gordon Livingston’s book, Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart. This book will give you a healthy dose of positive behavior patterns.
Remember, just by changing your thoughts, you can change your attitude. Realize that you already have the power within you to change. |
