ATTITUDE: The way you look at and react to things. |
Oftentimes, the problem isn't the problem, it's the attitude of person about the problem.
What is Attitude?
Attitude is a mental position relative to a way of thinking or being; a leaning toward that which you believe. A positive attitude is, therefore, the inclination to generally be in an optimistic, hopeful state of mind.
Now attitude may be just a noun, but it can mean the difference between turning a negative situation, into a positive and progressive experience.
I'm more happy to teach someone who lacks knowledge but has a positive attitude rather than someone who has the knowledge, but has a bad attitude.
Isn't Knowledge more important?
Knowledge is indeed important. It's absolutely right that positive attitude is necessary to carry on a good business. But apart from that, if we think knowledge is the only thing that plays a vital role then that's a fallacy. Let us suppose that a particular person always thinks positive even when the situation is against him/her. But the thing is if he wants to carry on with his business he definitely needs to have knowledge about that because knowledge is what will keep him mindful and aware of his situation. Knowledge is actually pretty easy to teach.
It's having a positive attitude that is hard to teach.
What does a Positive Attitude have to do with Excellent Performance?
Take note:
Excellent Performance. Not
Mediocre Performance.
Let's say you are a Leader and one of the people under your organization is having a tough time learning the system. Leaders are supposed to be motivators that stir the productive mindset of the individual. Will you discourage your member and tell him/her to quit? Using your positive attitude, this Leader should have the ability to inspire and motivate himself and others by giving encouragement to their members.
A great example of this will be my coaching sessions with one of the trainers that handled me in my transition to production. When he called me out for coaching, he asked me what went well with my work so far. All I could think about were the things I've done wrong or needed to improve, but he firmly asked, you may be right, but what do you think you have done in this work that went well? After I mentioned the things that went well, he then added, "did you know that you are good at communication? If you can learn to utilize this you will be at the top of your field!"
It feels good to hear a third party observation on the things you have done right. It built my self confidence and got me the job. This was 3 out of 16 initial trainees. I was the one with the least experience in the field, but I got in! This was all thanks to the encouragement this trainer gave me and our action plans to help me improve in something I wasn't aware I was good at.
What if you are just a regular Employee/ Downline / Worker with no position (yet)?
What if you are not a Leader (yet) what does Positive Attitude have to do with Excellent Performance? It will help you carry through the difficulties you will face when encountering something new like our System, it's principles, and Financial Literacy. If you have any plans of being a Leader, learn to master your emotions and help create a Positive and Productive atmosphere.
If you have been exhibiting a Negative Attitude and expecting failure and difficulties, it is now the time to change the way you think. It is time to get rid of negative thoughts and behavior and lead a happy and successful life. Why not start today? If you have tried and failed, it only means that you have not tried enough.
The Negative Attitude shouts: You CANNOT achieve Success!
The Positive Attitude shouts: You CAN achieve Success!
Which one would you rather be in?
Let's take another look at it, who would you rather be with?
Positive Attitude is a CHOICE. It's waiting for you to commit to it.
Developing a positive attitude will help you lead a better life and help you advance your career/business to the highest level.
How to Start having a Positive Attitude?
That's easy! Here are just some ways to start living with a Positive Attitude!
- Start finding more reasons to smile everyday - After a hard days work (yes hard days work. Don't expect results without any action) motivate yourself by thinking of what you are working for and that what you did will lead you a lot closer to it than yesterday!
- Associate yourself with happy people - They say birds with the same feather, flock together. This still holds true!
- Build better and Positive Habits - By this I mean Productive Habits.
- Read inspiring stories and/or quotes - This is one of the things where I started out in my road to a Positive Attitude. The more quotes and stories I read, the more encouraged and motivated I feel from the experience of another. If they can do it, I most certainly can do it, too!
- Catch yourself thinking some Negative Thoughts? Flick your nose or wrist - I was such a Negative Thinker back then that I used to carry a Rubber band in my wrist. Whenever I caught myself thinking something Negative, I pull the rubber band and let it flick my wrist. Worked after a month!
- Be assertive and communicate your needs - How can you nourish your Positive Attitude when you starve yourself of your needs? Make sure to communicate it positively and follow through with the results.
- Spend a few quiet moments reflecting on the things and the people who bring you joy - Whenever I think about a good laugh we had with my team, I sometimes find myself laughing. Laughter is contagious. If you bring more laughter in your life, you can most likely help others around you laugh more. Not only does it make you happy, it keeps you healthy!
Putting life and challenges into perspective and reminding yourself that you have the power to change your attitude are incredible gifts. There is no doubt that life throws some curve balls, but hitting a home run and reaching that peak is totally worth it. The next time you find yourself seeking an avenue to bring a touch of positive thinking into your situation, don't forget to try the methods above!
You can embrace the challenge, tackle it head-on and kick it in the butt, or you can let it kick yours.
Take your pick.
