A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist. Eleanor Roosevelt.
For things to change for the better, you must change your attitude An
attitude is a way of thinking,they shape how we relate to the world both in work
and outside of work.
Let me give you a couple of examples:
See all your setbacks as detours,not dead ends.Successful people know that
to be able to embrace their adversities, will lead to their future success.As Walt Disney put it ,All the adversity
I've had in my life ,all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me. When you feel you have failed, look for the lesson and
remember all the times you have succeeded. Don’t focus on critics. Anybody who succeeds knows they have to overcome the naysayers. Instead of
focusing on the past and worrying about the future, keep your focus on the now, this is where your greatest influence is. When you get
distracted, bring all your focus back to the breath.
There are many positive attitudes that can help you get ahead. In fact,the
value of these attitudes is they make you more motivated and in turn gives you a
boost.
Enthusiasm is one of them.To be enthusiastic at work is all about a mental
state.You need to make the decision to change your attitude to be enthusiastic.You become what you think,not what you want.So before you
begin any task bring your full energy to it,do not tell yourself this is boring or whatever your choice of excuse is that you tell yourself
normally,this will make you feel worse and drained. Words are powerful, there is a big difference in telling yourself, I can try and I can do it.This is
the attitude that will get you ahead in any given situation in work and life.
Changing a company or any situation begins with the first step of changing
yourself and you do this this with your attitude. Finish strong in everything
you do, strive for excellence, don’t settle for your good ,only settle for your
best. This is the attitude that gets you ahead.
Finally,
People with goals succeed because they know where they are going. Earl
Nightingale.
