1. Optimism- Do you have a belief in and expectation
of positive outcomes, even in the face of difficulty, challenge, or
crisis? Being optimistic is a choice. You can choose to be a victim or
a victor regardless of what life puts in your path.
2.
Enthusiasm-Are your levels of positive energy, passion, and personal
motivation consistency high? A smile and a controlled rush can show
that you expect good things to come your way. Are you always striving
to add value to others? Enthusiasm can also be considered charisma.
3.
Belief- Do you always trust in yourself, others, and God to provide
support and guidance when needed? Mary Kay Ash said, "Expect great
things and great things will happen!" I have always found that to be
true.
4. Integrity- Do you have a personal commitment to honesty,
openness, and fairness, always living by and for your consistent
ethical standards? It's what you do when nobody is watching that will
show your true character.
5. Courage- How willing are you to take
risks and overcome fears, even when the outcome is uncertain? Courage
is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to go forward even when
you feel the fear!
6. Confidence- Are you personally assured of
your abilities, capabilities and full potential? Every person is
unique, like a snowflake. There is no other person exactly like you-
even if you are a twin. Discover what makes you unique and use it
wisely.
7. Determination-Do you exhibit a tireless pursuit of a
goal, purpose or cause? This can be a positive trait as well as a
negative one. The ability to continue when the challenges of life get
in your way will take you farther than you can imagine. Even setbacks
and failures are stumbling blocks, character building experiences and
opportunities for growth.
8. Patience-Have you developed the
willingness to wait for opportunity, readiness, or results from oneself
or others.? I don't believe that anyone is born with patience. It is
something that you can learn. A determined person will create their own
patience.
9. Calmness- Do you maintain serenity and seek balance
daily in response to difficulty, challenge or crisis; taking time to
reflect and think? What do you put your faith in? A faith and trust in
God will give you peace regardless of your circumstances.
10.
Focus- Is your attention directed through the setting of goals and
priorities? This is so important. Follow One Course Until Successful.
Keeping it simple and focused frees your time from unnecessary tasks.
The
lesson in this is simple. Our beliefs shape our thoughts. Our thoughts
influence our feelings. What you think about, you bring about. Positive
thinking motivates us to actions. Once you have mastered the secrets to
keeping a positive attitude, you can achieve anything that you want in
life! Are you ready to take action now?
