Positive Attitude
Attitude is defined as “a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something,
typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior”. The way you look at a situation or the
way you handle certain situations. For example, the way you look at a situation involving others
who make little mistakes in the job they have received.
Also, the way you look at opportunities within situations is a factor in whether or not you have
a positive attitude. Do you see the opportunity in the situation or do you see only what could
go wrong in situations. It’s the difference between being a pessimist or an optimist. Which
sentence comes to mind when facing an obstacle or situation? Is it “I can’t do this” or “I can do
this, I just need to try”. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying and failing, just to get
back up and conquering the task at hand. It helps you figure out how things work and how to
make things easier for you. Not attempting how to do something new because you don’t want
to failo is not going to help you learn new skills. Trying to achieve the highest amount of success
will satisfy you and quiet that little voice in your head telling you that you can’t do it.
Surrounding yourself with positive people can only bring out the best in every situation thrown
at you. Negative people only bring down your spirit and energy to their level.
How do I go about achieving and maintaining a positive attitude? By putting into action all of
the above information. I am surrounding by the most positive and high spirited people in my
life. People who believe that anything is possible and that efforts means more than the
outcome. People who help me achieve what I want to achieve to the best of my ability. There is
always a bright side to every situation and outcome. To most the cup is half empty, to me, the
cup is half full.
