The positive mental attitude

 

As any successful salesperson or businessperson knows, an essential key to success is having a positive mental attitude. It means approaching each day with enthusiasm, an assumption that things will turn out well and that the day's efforts will bring us closer to our goal. It's about being happy and upbeat before the achievement because you already feel like you've won. It's about seeing everything that happens in a positive light.

Here's a great story about a positive attitude

Two traveling shoe salesmen arrive at an African village and see that no one is wearing any shoes. The first salesman immediately telephones his head office, and says: “Are you silly, sending me here? No one here wears shoes!!” The other salesman rings his head office and says: “You won't believe this! No one here has any shoes!! Send me everything you've got !!"

Be positive. Assume you will succeed. When circumstances seem to be against you, realise that the universe is on your side (since it's you) and that the situation is really for your ultimate benefit. Understand the concept of a Blessing In Disguise. Everyone faces challenging circumstances, but how we react to those circumstances is what defines successful people. The successful person understands that setbacks are opportunities for growth and achievement.
