"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" Both Nietzsche
and Alberto Posse (and me) agree. :-) In fact Alberto's positive attitude
article below illustrates the benefits of a positive attitude - how much better
life is in having a positive attitude - with some simple examples. Just
in case you needed persuading! Albert actually thinks that setbacks are
helpful - they make you more determined to achieve your goals in life. What
do you think? It would be great to hear your
thoughts! As for my thoughts...
Maintaining
positive attitude - what I say...Well, I am the first to admit that having
a positive attitude has not always been my strong point. I actually believe that
I spent most of my adolescent years into my twenties NOT having a positive mental
attitude. :-( So not only do I now fully appreciate being positive, but
I also understand the benefits of a positive attitude. And, off the top
of my head, here are five such benefits: - You believe that you can achieve
things even when setbacks occur.
(The opposite attitude is not even trying
because you fear you might fail.)
- When others succeed you see
their success as setting an example for you.
(The opposite attitude is resenting
this success and blaming it on 'luck'.)
- You attract the company
of other people who believe that they 'can'.
(The opposite is attracting negative,
energy-sapping, people into your life.)
- You go with the flow more,
when unexpected things happen
(The opposite is believing that someone has got
it in for you or doesn't 'like' you as much as you first thought.)
- You
don't take yourself too seriously, and are happy to join in the fun when it's
at your expense. (I mean, that hat! - what were you thinking? ;-) )
- You
experience more joy in life as you see it containing limitless possibilities.
(The
opposite experience is one of worry and fear and lack of faith.)
- You
love yourself more. Which helps others love you more. Which generates a fantastic
positive energy around you.
(The opposite is to love yourself less. And to
disbelieve those that do love you. Which is not a happy place to be.
Basically,
a positive attitude achieves and a negative
attitude does not. (I also think meditation
can help, too!) That does not mean to say that you should always be full
of confidence and that you'll never experience
lows. A positive attitude is just seeing things - no matter how grim - in the
best light possible. Or it's about limiting the negativity to as short a time
as possible. I'm a believer in being positive! My life was so much
'less' when I was a negative, glass half-empty type of guy. Yes, it's all
about self-fulfilling prophecies really. You get what you think you deserve.
And positively-minded people think they deserve more than negatively-minded
people. "Whether you think you can or think you can't you are right!"
to misquote Henry Ford
(Find more inspirational
quotes here!) That's what I think, anyway. Would
love to hear your views on being positive too! Over to Alberto...
Maintaining
Positive Attitude - Keeping Focused on the PrizeMaintaining positive
attitude - what Alberto Posse has to say...There is an old saying for
people who appear to be lucky in life. These are the people who are known to be
born "with a silver spoon in their mouths." What that means is that
there are a few of us who have been born with such gifts that we breeze through
life without an apparent care in the world. But, is this truly what destiny means?
Are we to yield and succumb to negative thoughts about ourselves when things go
against us in life? Certainly, we are meant to learn things while we are here
on earth. These learning experiences can only be accomplished by maintaining
positive attitude characteristics. Your attitude in all your life circumstances,
mean that you can derive benefits from the challenges of the situation you are
presently experiencing. Remember, if the situation you are experiencing at the
present time doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger. The main asset
that you possess in negotiating any difficult life experience is a positive
attitude during challenging times. It's the lessons that we learn from life's
challenges that make us better people. We must value life's lessons, learn from
these experiences keep a healthy attitude, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
If we do not heed these lessons and face our challenges head-on by maintaining
positive attitude, we are doomed to face the challenges again. Perhaps,
you are challenged with opening a new business or facing the prospect of going
in a different direction in life. You are experiencing self-doubts and a lack
of confidence regarding moving forward with your business opportunity. You must
understand that every one of us can accomplish in this life whatever we want because
each of us has the power to reach our goals. You may be having funding issues,
or difficulty in generating leads for your business, and you may be feeling depressed
about the situation. By maintaining positive attitude, you will not only
handle your challenges well, but will be a stronger and better person for enduring
the experience. If you are experiencing self-doubts about going out on your
own and setting up your own business, consider for a moment how you have arrived
at this point . There had to be some intuitive drive and message that propelled
you to open your own business. By heeding the messages of your inner voice, you
will be led in the right direction. Nothing in this life comes easy. In fact,
you'll get your greatest satisfaction by overcoming the obstacles that stand in
your path for success. You can overcome the most challenging impediments to your
goals with enthusiastic disposition throughout the process. By maintaining
positive attitude with regard to life's challenges, we assert that confidence
in your own ability, patience, hard work, and a faith that you will accomplish
your goals will propel you to achievement. People will sense an air of confidence
in your abilities, and will trust your judgment in business and in life in general.
It is not the individuals with the silver spoons, who achieve their life's goals,
without "Drive, Determination and a great Attitude", they are doomed
to lose all that they have. By developing this quality, you will remain focused
on your goals and keep your eyes on your ultimate prize. For more, please
