Sometimes you wonder whether it is really true when you hear people who are successful in their business tell you that the secret of their success was their positive attitude which they injected in their business. I recently came across a study which was done some years ago in the States which said that having a positive attitude can actually add up 7.5 years to your life. Well the study is actually food for thoughts especially this figure of 7.5 years but I do not really want to dwell on that, but instead reflect on the fact that if you have an optimistic attitude you are actually "adding" some more years to your life.
Our today's life is one which is thronged with worries and tensions and makes it difficult for us to maintain a positive attitude. How many times have you tried especially during this period to be positive, and the more you try the more it seemed that the negative energy is constantly gaining strength and the upper hand on you. If you are experiencing this, do not worry, it is perfectly alright for you to go through this experience especially if you are feeling low. I have 5 excellent ways which you can use to change your modus operandi and to start being positive and to work towards a healthier and successful lifestyle:
Happiness Waits For Nobody:
If you have been waiting for good things to happen to you, then you must by now have realized that it is just a waiting game. You need to start working towards happiness. Start today by creating a happy environment around you and remain happy tomorrow. This is how you begin to adopt a positive attitude; this is when life becomes a rewarding game instead of being a challenge that you have to get through.
Have You Prioritized Your Purpose?:
What is it that you want? What expectations do you have on yourself as a person? What are your manageable goals? Once you are clear of exactly what you what and you know what you expect from yourself, you will see that your future becomes very clear and your set goals become attainable.
Clarify Your Purpose:
Are you clear about what is your purpose? This is the point that you need to clarify your purpose, because a purpose is something that you fulfill each moment when you are in balance with your life. Make a positive statement of why you are here and how you want to maintain this positive attitude.
Visualizing Future:
Do you have a clear picture of what you want to accomplish in your lifetime? Remember for you the sky is the limit, you can become what you think you are and what you see. Create a mental imagine of something happening in future, believe in it and see how your dreams can motivate you to become exactly what you what to be.
Begin To Be Resilient:
I learnt how to become resilient as a person with walking disabilities who had an extremely difficult childhood. I faced those setbacks and with perseverance I recovered from them. It was not much later did I learn just how strong a person I am for having faced those life's difficulties and challenges by taking action, rather than sinking down with fear, self-pity, inferiority or even blaming others for what I am.
Everyday life can be very challenging and the most important step now is to become more resilient and to develop the habit of positive self-talk, constantly remind yourself that you are strong and can grow even stronger and wiser as you handle life's challenges.
