5. Cultivate an Attitude of Positive Expectancy
Having a positive attitude in life is the first stepping-stone to success. You need to expect positive happenings and outcomes of every situation rather than be pessimistic. Success and failure are the two possible outcomes of any situation. Always look at every situation optimistically. Believe in yourself and your abilities.
Thereafter, work hard to achieve your goals.
Develop a positive attitude by forgetting your past actions. Every day is a new one, so do not carry forward any negative feelings of the past.
Instead, wake up and greet every day with a positive and cheerful attitude.
Don’t let any doubt creep into your mind while you actively pursue your goals.
Believe in yourself and your capabilities.
You begin to doubt your abilities because you feel that you are unable to succeed. It is not true that you cannot do something just because you could not do it when you tried the first time.
You learn through your failures and do not make the same mistakes again. Do not fear failures because they teach you better ways to deal with things.
Always keep looking ahead, not behind you, to fulfill your goals in life.
Failures are only temporary phases in life.
You can achieve a better positive attitude in life by building your inner strength. When facing an obstacle, tell yourself about your capabilities and Copyright 2005 Marc Sanders
