You Can Control Your Attitude

Everything that you do in life is determined by your attitude and 90% of your success will be determined by how positive your mental attitude is. We all want good results in life and the single most important factor that guarantees good results is a healthy attitude. You will find that a great attitude will seem to create unexpected opportunities— a process of happy discoveries, which others refer to as so called "lucky breaks". 

“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.”
                                                         — W. Clement Stone

The problem is that due to earlier environmental influences: from parents, teachers, or others who were important when we were growing up, many people were conditioned by the negative attitudes and habits of those around them. It is noteworthy that our mind food determines our habits, attitudes, and our personalities. Mind food is our environment. Everything that influences our thoughts and the kind of mind food that we have been fed with determines how much innate capacity to achieve we develop.

Moreover, anyone can unconsciously slip into the habit of negative thinking and one way to overcome this habit is to view yourself objectively, recognize you are doing it, and then taking time to discover the main reason why you think the way you do (in every area of your life), why you act in the way you act and why you will tend to move in a way that is consistent with what you are familiar with even if it is leading you away from what you want to accomplish. 

Realize that your attitude is malleable and you can learn to think in new ways. Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thought and habits can be acquired. They can be formed and learned. Always remember that for things to change you have to change and the key is in building confidence and a belief that you can change yourself and your attitudes.

The Bottom Line: Attitudes are habits of thought so keep your mind on what you want, not on what you don't want.

To Your Success,

Reach Your Goals

Image
Each New Year brings the chance to start over. For some people they set goals and make New Year resolutions, but less than half of people who make New Year Resolutions actually  fulfill  them. If their goals are really important things they want to do, have, achieve or become, why is it that when they decide what they want (in every area of their lives) they don't get it?  Everyone can come up with a list of reasons why they didn't achieve what they wanted, but we have to learn to think of solutions to our problems, not finding someone or something to blame. This year, stop the cycle of resolving to make change, but then not following through. In this post, I'll give you some tips to help you avoid making the mistakes that prevent many people from achieving their goals (and keep their resolutions) in every area of life. 1. Your Goals MUST Be Yours Decide what you want to accomplish (in every area of life). Don't be concerned about what other...

Develop a Strong Desire to Succeed

God has given all living creatures the instinct to survive but He has given us another quality which sets us apart. Mankind has an in-built desire to succeed, something which is as natural to us as breathing. Humans are by nature goal-striving and we are not happy unless we are functioning in this way. There is only one success; to be able to spend your life in your own way. You already possess an unlimited force within you to do this, what is required is the programming of the ultimate computer— your mind. You are the programmer and with the right techniques you can instruct it to select what you really want. We become what we think. Each of us becomes exactly what we program our minds to be. A prosperous person programs prosperous thinking into his or her mind and a miserable person instructs his or her mind to make them unhappy, mediocre, boring, and "average". Your mind is like soil in a garden— it does not care what you plant— it will always nourish it.  Tak...
