HOW TO LIVE THE LIFE WE WANT – IT’S ALL DOWN TO OUR MIND!

1. HOW TO LIVE THE LIFE WE WANT – IT’S ALL DOWN TO OUR MIND! The most important factor that will determine our success is what goes on in our mind. Each person is where he is and what he is because of his own mental attitude towards himself and others. Our mental attitude can travel in two directions: It can lead us up to the path of success or to the road of failure - the choice is entirely ours. No matter what we are doing in life it is our attitude before, throughout and after that activity that will determine our success. There is a simple rule with regards to our thinking in everything that we do: Think positively and we will end up with positive results.

2. Think negatively and we will end up with negative results. HOW TO FORM AND KEEP A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE (PMA) The first thing that we can do to maintain a P.M.A is by always thinking and acting on the “Can do”portion of every plan or purpose and refusing to accept the “No can do”approach. Positive people are solution orientated and look for the good in every situation whereas negative minded people believe that problems and obstacles cannot be surpassed. All it takes is a smile Many people in life are only too quick to criticize people when they do something wrong, and don’t even appreciate us when we do something right! What we must do in order to create a positive mental attitude is to either start or increase the amount of times that we complement other people. By making other people feel good, we will feel good, and it will enhance our Positive Mental Attitude. By focusing on the positive aspects of people we enhance their P.M.A and make them a lot happier. Something that goes hand in hand with complementing other people is the way in which we treat others. There is a simple rule to this: Treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves In order to do this, we must treat everyone as though they are the most important person in the world - because to them, they are! One of the Success Laws is that whatever we hand out in life we get back, but what we get back is ten times as much. By making other people feel worthwhile, useful and treated like the most important person in the world we too will be treated in exactly the same manner - but ten times as much. Believe, conceive and achieve One thing that we must start doing is act as though success is inevitable. Picture success in our mind at all times and burn it in our subconscious mind. Always focus on the outcome that we want to achieve in everything that we do. Remember, what the mind can believe and conceive, the mind can achieve. We have within us a sleeping giant, whom we can direct to perform any service that we desire. The power of our mind and imagination is truly an exceptional and incredible function. Rehearsal practice –“We’ve succeeded before we have even begun” An important technique that we can use to improve our positive mental attitude is what is known as Rehearsal practice. We can use the power of our mind to get better results.No matter what we have to do or in any situation that we face, if we rehearse it over in our imagination first, we will find that we will do it better. It is as though we are training our subconscious to behave in a certain way to obtain the result that we desire.

3. It is said thatattitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference. We will need a positive attitude to attain our goals and we will also need a positive mind to grow, to develop and to progress. During life’s journey we will need to keep a positive attitude in the face of opposition - from other people and from adverse situations. If we remain positive and make sure that we are not susceptible to the negative influences of other people- WE WILL SUCCEED. Without a positive attitude we will find it difficult to achieve anything in life. Remember, it will be our attitude that will determine our success. People who are negative never get anywhere and are invariably unsuccessful. Think positively and the world is our oyster. Think negatively and we are doomed to failure.
