Building a positive attitude

During childhood, we form attitudes that last a lifetime. Undoubtedly, it would be easier to acquire a positive attitude during our formative years. If the combination of your inborn temperament and your early childhood experiences have produced a positive attitude, you are indeed very fortunate. But, if you have acquired a negative attitude, whether by design or by default—are you stuck with it? Of course not. Can you change? Yes. Is it easy? Absolutely not ! Is it worth it? You bet ! How do you build and maintain a positive attitude ? • Become aware of the principles that build a positive attitude. • Desire to be positive. • Cultivate the discipline and dedication to practice those principles. As adults, regardless of our environment, education and experience,who is responsible for our attitude? We are. We have to accept responsibility for our behaviour and actions. Some people blame everyone and everything but themselves. It is up to us to choose our attitude every morning. People with negative attitudes often blame the whole world—their parents, teachers, spouse, bosses, the stars, fate, luck, the economy and the government—for their failures. You have to get away from the past. Dust yourself off and get back into the mainstream. Put your dreams together and move forward. Thinking of the positive things that are true, honest and good, will put you in a positive state of mind .

Any fact facing us is not a important as our attitude towards it, for that determines our success or failure . —Norman Vincent Peale
