Motivation Tips

A Positive Attitude Breeds Success
By:Laney Lockhart

Setting goals and achieving success in your life is an ongoing process which requires commitment on a daily basis. Let’s take a look at some basic things that you can do to increase your productivity and help inspire you to achieve the success that you want and deserve out of life.

Start your day off right! Just like your body needs fuel at the beginning of the day, so does your mind and spirit.

A positive attitude is your best defense against the many challenges that will come your way throughout the day.

Begin each day by looking at all of the things you have to be thankful for and decide to have a terrific day.

Let's say for example that you get up each day and go to a job that you absolutely hate.

Well stop for a minute and ask yourself, "what if all of a sudden this job went away and I no longer had it?" How would that make you feel? Would you be overjoyed or would you be terrified?

If you are one of those who would fall into the "terrified" category, then I think that you would probably be happy to have the crummy job than no job at all.

So you see, it's all a matter of perspective. Be thankful for the job that you have and use your dissatisfaction as a motivator to change your current situation.

Anticipate obstacles that you might encounter during the course of your day and talk yourself through what you will do if and when they arise.

Select a book or a website that provides daily quotes or motivational readings and read one small passage. Then focus on it throughout the day. I have found that focusing on a small inspirational quote that I can easily recall is more beneficial than reading large amounts of material that add no value.

Develop a self talk quote and repeat it to yourself at a designated time or when you feel yourself slipping into a negative frame of mind.

Most importantly, make up your mind that you are going to have a good day no matters what happens.

Challenges are merely opportunities posing as threats. Engage them with confidence and a positive attitude and you can reap huge rewards.

Don't wait until your life is in such a mess that it becomes difficult or seems impossible to change for the better. Start today, start right now. You have the power to create positive changes in your life.

Your positive attitude is the secret weapon that can propel you into leading a successful life!

Be Present, Take Action, and Be Successful!
