Attitude Lift

A POSITIVE OUTLOOK CAN ALTER THE OUTCOME.
Everything that happens to you in life is not by chance. Whether you’re tuned in or not, you’re constantly responding to a pre-programmed way of thinking. As you were growing up, you picked up certain approaches to evaluating the events of life; and that programming determines how you currently view life, and what steps you take or don’t take to deal with the opportunities and challenges that come your way. Over time and as a result of the people and experiences you encountered, your overall thinking pattern or attitude settled into one of two categories – either positive or negative..

by PAUL J. MEYER


The 4 effects of Attitude

ATTITUDE 1 ATTITUDE AFFECTS YOUR BELIEF ABOUT YOUR POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS:
The old saying that states, “if you think you can or if you think you can’t, you’re right,” applies here. If you have a negative attitude, you doubt your ability to achieve, while a positive attitude makes you willing and confident to take the steps and actions necessary for success.

ATTITUDE 2 ATTITUDE DETERMINES HOW YOU VIEW A CHALLENGE:
If you see every challenge as a stumbling block and a threat, you have a negative attitude. On the other hand, if you view a challenge as a potential stepping stone to your goal, you have a positive mind set or attitude. A negative attitude will cause you to draw back and become defeated, while a positive attitude will allow you to keep moving undaunted, thereby increasing your chances of success

ATTITUDE 3 ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOUR CONFIDENCE:
A negative attitude convinces you that you can’t succeed –that you don’t have what it takes. Belief in your ownpotential is virtually non-existent. However, if you have apositive attitude, you can act in a pro-active way on your own behalf; and each time you do that, your confidence grows..

ATTITUDE 4 ATTITUDE AFFECTS HOW YOU VIEW OPPORTUNITY:
When you respond to life with a negative attitude, you become blind to opportunity. It’s not that opportunity is unavailable; it’s that you simply don’t see it. By contrast, with a positive attitude, your “antenna” is always scanning the horizon for opportunity; and since opportunities are always around us, your biggest challenge will be to choose which one to entertain first.


As you can see, if you’re suffering from a negative thinking pattern or attitude, your life will continue to deliver disappointing results. You must take steps to change your programming, your attitude and thinking, so you can begin to experience success and satisfaction. It’s entirely possible to change your attitude by deliberately challenging old thought patterns and inserting new ones. The more often and consistently you do this, the sooner a new habit or thought will emerge. Eventually this new attitude will become entrenched and replace the old one that was keeping you stuck.
