Positive mental attitude success! 6 proven ways to be more confident and powerful
There is no question that a positive mental attitude is essential for success.
You must be able to picture yourself as successful and believe that you will achieve it.
To give you some pointers for developing a more positive attitude, I want to share 6 points from Norman Vincent Peale’s bestselling classic The Power of Positive Thinking.
#1- make a true estimate of your own ability, then raise it 10%. Do not become egotistical, but develop a wholesome self respect. Believe in your own god released powers.
#2- get a competent counselor to help you understand why you do what you do. Learn of the origin of your inferiority and self doubt feelings which often begin in childhood. Self knowledge leads to a cure.
#3- do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can. Remember also that most people, despite their confident appearance and demeanor, are often as scared as you are and as doubtful of themselves.
#4- do not build up obstacles in your imagination. Depreciate every so called obstacle. Minimize them. Difficulties must be studied and efficiently dealt with to be eliminated, but they must be seen for only what they are. And thus not be inflated by fear thoughts.
#5- whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
#6- formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture. Never think of yourself as failing; never doubt the reality of the mental image. That is most dangerous, for the mind always tries to complete what it pictures. So always picture “success” no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.
If you want to achieve success in any area of your life, you need to believe that you will.
You must expect the best to get it, and that is why having a positive mental attitude is so essential for success, wealth, and overall happy living.
