Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE
A positive mental attitude is closely associated with success in every
area of life. The kind of people we like the most and want to associ-
ate with tend to be people who are generally cheerful and optimistic
about their work and personal lives. No one wants to spend time
with a negative, pessimistic, complaining person.
Unfortunately, it is easy to slip into the habit of criticizing and
complaining. We are bombarded continuously with negative infor-
mation, from radio, television, newspapers, and magazines and in
our daily interactions with others. It may not be easy to rise above
the flood of negativity that engulfs you, but it is absolutely essen-
tial to do so if you want to keep your spirits up and your mind
clear and positive.
