CHOOSE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE FOR LIFE SUCCESS


  CHOOSE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE FOR LIFE SUCCESS

Many people underestimate the power of a positive attitude.  However, the impact of a positive attitude is documented in the millions of people who, by changing their thinking and their attitudes, have changed their life and lifestyle and would point to this one change as a major factor in their life success.

In "Attitude is Everything" Keith Harrell writes "your attitude dictates whether you are living life or life is living you...your attitude is nothing but an outward reflection of what resides on the inside. To change your attitude, you must change your heart."

Your attitude is either a poison or a life boosting energy shot...it will either bring ultimate life success or it will be the means of mediocrity and seeking escape through avoidance of change and challenges.

How to choose a positive attitude for life success.

Developing a positive attitude is a daily exercise of applying tools recognized by successful people.  These tools include, choosing to have a positive attitude, self awareness- to know where your attitude is and be able to address it, and feeding your mind with affirmation.

Many of us have programmed our minds with negative "self talk" and this must be reprogrammed. Feeding and exercising the mind daily in positive affirmation and success principles will go a long way toward changing your attitude.

One of the most powerful realizations in life is understanding that in any given situation we "choose" to have a positive or negative attitude. It should be noted that our circumstances do not control us, nor do they relegate us to a certain attitude.  We pick and are in the habit of choosing our attitude based on past experience and habit. Therefore, we have the power to always choose a positive attitude even in the worst situations.  Every situation that in the past "gave" you a bad attitude can now be used to exercise your mind to "choose" a positive attitude and see the situation as merely a challenge to be overcome and from which to learn.

Life will always provide us with challenges and the person who will be successful and experience happiness is the person who faces and overcomes the challenges and sees them as a learning and growing experience.

Ultimate life success is mostly determined by our choice of a positive attitude.

One of the best resources for training your mind in the power of positive is the audio and success resources of top motivational trainers like Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill, Jack Canfield, and Earl Nightingale.  There are many to choose from and One of the best resources to get them all in one spot for me has been a $315 purchase at rocketcash which is an online purchase with over 170 resources at your disposal. People who understand the value of a library such as this would place the value at much more than $315.  Obviously, Amazon.com is also a place to purchase such products one at a time. I was searching for "Earl Nightingale" and found it at Amazon for $30 whereas it was only $1.78 as part of the set at rocketcash

Your attitude is the only thing that you really own.  All other things in life can be gone in an instant, health, finances, personal possesions.  But by choosing a positive attitude it can all be rebuilt or gained back. Rather than focus on the loss of things we cannot control...control your attitude to take action and overcome every challenge knowing that in each circumstance we have complete control over our attitude and we do not need to react to life but choose to take actions and think in such a way that we impact life.

Life success is how to achieve happiness-aristotle, Earl Nightingale

Having life success is how to achieve happiness.

But what is life success? Each man measures success differently.  For many the measure of success is the wealth created.  Earl Nightingale hypothesizes that success then is measured by worthwhile or helpful activity that reaches a goal whereupon a new goal is defined.
Aristotle philosophizes that to achieve happiness man must have purpose.  Worldwide success coaches and motivational trainers have concluded that through having a purpose in life and working toward that purpose is how to achieve happiness and being thankful for all that ones life has to offer.

Happiness, in my opinion, is a byproduct of a state of being of thanks.  When we are grateful and thankful for everything we reside in pleasant happiness.  The state of  being happy is more a realization of the good of the moment or time in life... a sort of culmination of gratitude for all that we have each day and the daily attainment of our life's goals.

"For me achieving happiness is a daily realization of the attainment of my purpose"

It is said that to be happy one must learn to be happy now.  There is no future happiness if a person cannot realize their happiness each moment...barring unforseen tragedy.  I have been practicing the art of happiness each day and find that it is the culmination of basic life success principles of gratitude, working to fulfill my purpose and the attainment of worthwhile goals.

HOW TO ACHIEVE HAPPINESS and beat despair and depression

How to achieve happiness...and beat despair and depression

Many motivational teachers and life success gurus teach that it is not the event but the journey toward the event that brings enjoyment.  The taking of steps to attain the goal...once the goal is attained it is time to set new goals and enjoy the satisfaction of having attained the goal.

It is said that ones happiness and joy in life comes from every day having a purpose to your day...and even better...having a purpose to your life. Even small projects and accomplishments make one feel satisfied.  We were meant to achieve. As humans we were designed to create and be productive.  Idle hands and listless hands are not only potential for trouble but also leave a person with a sense of uselessness which in many cases leads to despair and depression.

We are great and wonderful beings and were created by the powers that be...to be creatures of usefulness and helpfulness.  Most people find that in doing, helping, creating, and producing is what gives them a sense of usefulness and purpose which leads to being happy.

I have noted people who are lazy and not productive and generally, they tend to feel dissatisfied.
Here are some tips on how to achieve happiness from a video I did.  Using ones talents and gifts to create and help others brings happiness to many people. In life it is the working toward an event that brings anticipation and excitement to life. Having many things going on and many things to look forward to will therefore lead to a happy life.

Philosophers have for centuries recognized the fact that a man/woman should have purpose...something to live for, strive for...and work toward.  

If you find yourself feeling despair and depression the last thing to do is hide away and do nothing. The best thing you can do is get out, exercise, help others and be creative.  Be engaged and useful. You will see an immediate change in your attitude both from the thankfulness of others and the actual activity of being and doing.
