Here are four things you can do to assure that your attitude is the very best it can be, under all circumstances.
Focus On the Future
First, whatever challenges you
face, focus on the future rather than on the past. Instead of worrying about
who did what and who is to blame, focus on where you want to be and what you
want to do. Get a clear mental image of your ideal successful future, and then
take whatever action you can to begin moving in that direction. Get your mind,
your thoughts, and your mental images on the future.
Think About the Solution
Second, whenever you're faced
with a difficulty, focus on the solution rather than on the problem. Think and
talk about the ideal solution to the obstacle or setback, rather than wasting
time rehashing and reflecting on the problem. Solutions are inherently
positive, whereas problems are inherently negative. The instant that you begin
thinking in terms of solutions, you become a positive and constructive human
being.
Look For the Good
Third, assume that something
good is hidden within each difficulty or challenge. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, a
major proponent of positive thinking, once said, "Whenever God wants to
give us a gift, he wraps it up in a problem." The bigger the gift you have
coming, the bigger the problem you will receive. But the wonderful thing is
that if you look for the gift, you will always find it.
Seek the Valuable Lesson
Fourth, assume that whatever
situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need
to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to you to help you
learn something, to help you become better, to help you expand and grow.
