I am not saying a Positive Attitude can make you Successful,
I am saying a Positive Attitude will make you Successful ~ Norman Vincent Peale.
This post has been adapted from the learning which I have got from the book of famous authors -Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuller, and Jim Rohn. Just pick any books written by them, after reading or at least going through the pages in a hurry you will have positive vibes and will make you feel highly motivated, implementing the concepts is your option.
Starting with Possibility Thinker’s Creed developed by Dr. Schuller:
When faced with a mountain, I will not quit!
I will keep on striving until
I climb over, find a pass through, tunnel underneath, or
simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine, with God’s Help!
Believe, really believe, you can move a mountain, and you can. You can win success by believing
you can succeed. Belief, the “I’m-positive-I-can” attitude, generates the power, skill, and energy needed to do. When you believe I-can-do-it, the how-to-do-it develops.
Stop Thinking "Can I?" and Start Thinking "HOW Can I?"
A question like Can I? and How Can I? may appear to be very similar. However, the reality is that they
are worlds apart in terms of results. Can I? is a question filled with hesitation, confusion, and doubt. It imposes limitations. If that is the question we regularly ask ourselves, we are undermining our efforts before even beginning. How many people could have accomplished much in life but failed to
try because they doubted and answered no to the question “Can I?”
When you ask yourself “How can I?” you always give yourself a fighting chance to achieve something.
The most common reason people don’t overcome the odds is that they don’t challenge them enough. They don’t push their capacity. They always try to remain in their comfort zone. How can I? assumes there is a way. You just need to find it. Focussing on How part challenges us, changes our thought process and eventually we step forward.
Regular Self Talk and practicing/listening to positive words can help to reduce negative thoughts.
Negative Thoughts: How to Stop Them
- Practice Self-Awareness - Add Mindfulness to it.
- Identify Your Negative Thoughts - Look for the root cause. "There is No Unsolvable Problem"
- Replace Negative Thoughts - Instead include Positive thoughts.
- Be Ready to Accept Criticism - Just think that I am not alone.
- Stop Your First Reaction
- Remember the Benefit of Getting Feedback
- Listen for Understanding
- Say Thank You
Even if someone is harsh and rude, listen to them till the end and thank them.
Always remember to have an "Attitude of Gratitude"
- Use Journal - Jot down whatever
thoughts which come to your mind, bad thoughts must go into the dustbin and
positive thoughts remain in your diary. The inertia of steps explained
above should always be mentioned.
