The Right Mental Attitude
Joel Suarez
You must develop the right mental attitude on your road to
success. Without being overly simplistic, think of "The Little
Train Who Could." Instead of having an "I Can't" attitude,
replace it with an "I Can!" attitude.
A positive outlook is necessary to see change coming, to be
able to work with the change, and to make the most of whatever
change comes down the pike in your life. If you expect change
(but not from a vending machine!), you'll be in a better position
to accept it and make the most of it.
A fabulous book regarding change and positive attitude is
"Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson, MD.
In order to gain right thinking (being positive), you must
decide to look at the bright side of life. Instead of seeing
the cloud, see the silver lining in the cloud. Instead of
seeing downsizing as a horrible thing that will plummet you
in to bankruptcy and homelessness, consider it an opportunity
to look for a better job and a chance to try new skills and
career paths that you wouldn't have had the opportunity to
try before.
Don't be pollyannaish, but do consider all sides of a situation
before you adopt a negative perspective.
In order to maintain a positive outlook, you must also be
realistic. For example, if you've gained 30 pounds in the
last 3 years, it would be highly unrealistic to expect to
drop those 30 pounds in 3 weeks. If you take an honest and
realistic assessment of your skills and goals, you're much
more likely to find success in whatever field or career best
suits you.
Maintain a cautious optimism as you seek success, not be blindly
optimistic about every situation. There are some situations
in which positive thinking cannot overcome the situation you're
faced with.
Consider Tom Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots;
he's a man who's in excellent shape. But if he decided to
trade in his helmet and pads for ballet toe shoes, he likely
wouldn't make it, despite his physique. Blind optimism also
puts you at the mercy of con men and charlatans--your optimism
must be tempered by context and relevance.
No matter what your abilities are (and they are fabulous!),
using them realistically will get you much farther than not.
Your right thinking, paired with your abilities, put you on
a course for success-no matter what field you're in!
