Attitude

This week, I'm going to go through the process of how to get the things that you want in life. That may sound ambitious, but it really isn't. It all comes back to a basic formula or process that every successful person goes through in one form or another. Many times, they don't even know they went through a process, they just do it.

The first step is to identify what it is you want. This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised that a lot of people forget about or don't know what they want, because they have been conditioned to think that they can't have it or can't afford it. The apathy in this country keeps growing year by year.

The second step is what stops most people. It is the belief that they can get what they want. You must have the belief that you can do it, or you will quit at the first obstacle. This is where attitude is so very important. Your thought are things. Many success gurus say this, including Napoleon Hill, author of "Think and Grow Rich". A negative attitude will cause doubt, and doubt has a unique ability to automatically show up. This can stop you in your tracks, or at least distract you away from your goal. A positive attitude will give you power to overcome obstacles and continue on. It will allow you to view challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles. Every time you overcome the obstacle, you get even more confidence and power to continue on.

Your attitude has nothing to do with your environment, where you were raised, how you look, where you live, or who your parents are. Your attitude is all controlled by your thoughts, which are uniquely yours. We are what we think we are, not what we appear to be on the outside. Your self-image will attract others like you. You've probably heard "a bird of a feather flocks together". If your self-image is negative, it will attract negative results. If it is positive, it will attract positive results. There is another common saying that's true - "necessity is the mother of invention".

So if you think that you can not have or do something, it will never happen. Henry Ford said, "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."

Whatever is possible begins between your ears.

There will be more on the success formula this week. Stay tuned ...
