A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.
– Patricia Neal
The most basic element of success and happiness in life is positive mental attitude. Positive minds produce positive lives and positive lives build better society and world. You can achieve anything great if you believe in yourself and have a positive mental attitude. Believing something can be done fuels your mind to explore a way to do it irrespective of numerous challenges. When you truly believe that something is possible and you can do it, the law of attraction works for you and helps you to find the right way to do it. On the other hand, you will not be able to achieve anything if you keep yourself stuck in disbelief.
HABIT Develop the habit of strengthening positive mental attitude. Believe me, positive people and learning opportunities are present all around you. You just need to stretch your mind and get stimulated. Associate with people who can help you think of new ideas and new ways of doing things. Mix with people of different age groups, gender and culture, occupational and social interests to widen your range. It always helps to feel loved and respected. Living in an environment that promotes mutual trust and respect is even better. To enable people around you to nurture this positive culture of love, trust, and respect, become proactive to make it a habit to love them, respect them, and understand them. This is a proven recipe to spread positivity all around.
REMEMBER Positive attitude facilitates development of ownership mindset. To own something means to believe that this thing belongs to you and claim it. If you claim something, you make it an integral part of what you value and defend it with your full might. It can be your marriage, job, friendship, unique skill, or your venture; even your goals, freedom, and success.
BEWARE Stay away of people who put limitations on you citing your age, financial status, background etc. You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. Fast food moguls Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Ray Kroc of McDonald’s are some of the great examples who defied age and made their companies globally successful. You are never too young to learn something or start a company. Tesla and SpaceX’s founder Elon Musk, Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg, Oyo’s founder Ritesh Agarwal are some of the billionaire who impressed the world with their success in very young age. Your current financial constraints cannot stop you from getting higher education in the best university of the world or launch a company that has potential to turn into unicorn. Almost all the best companies in the world have been started by founders who were not rich. The list includes but not limited to Henry Ford of Ford Motors, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jeff Bezos of Amazon,Travis Kalanic of Uber, Dhirubhai Ambani of Reliance. Belief makes you think constructively. Belief releases creative power and makes you take action. Become receptive to ideas with all your senses, and let the implementation of these ideas bring positive changes in your life. Think of something special you always wanted to do but felt you are not capable to do. NOW make a list of reasons why you can do it. And do it.
To strengthen your positive mental attitude and get good results, ASK YOURSELF:
- What can I do to bring better outcomes?
- How can I increase my personal efficiency?
- What can I do to improve my relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others?
- What can I do to have more fun and become happier?
- How can I reward myself to get motivated and energized?
- How can I make my customers more satisfied?
- What can I do to encourage my employees?
- What can I do to give back to society?
Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.
