Do You Have A Good Attitude?



Here are 7 signs that you have a good attitude:

  1. Belief in Self: "Many people succeed when others do not believe in them. But rarely does a person succeed when he does not believe in himself." Herb True


  2. Willingness to See the Best in Others: I've never known a positive person yet who didn't love people and try to see the good in them.


  3. Ability to See Opportunity Everywhere: Plutarch wrote, "As bees extract honey from thyme, the strongest and driest of herbs, so sensible men often get advantage and profit from the most awkward circumstances."


  4. Focus on Solutions: People with a positive attitude focus their time and attention on solutions, not problems.


  5. Desire to Give: "Generous people are rarely mentally ill people." Karl Menninger, nothing has as much positive impact as giving to others.


  6. Persistence: "Many people fail in life because they believe in the adage: If you don't succeed, try something else. But success eludes those who follow such advice...The dreams that have come true did so because people stuck to their ambitions. They refused to be discouraged. They never let disappointment get the upper hand. Challenges only spurred them on to greater effort." Don B. Owens


  7. Responsibility for Their Lives: Only when you're responsible for yourself can you look at yourself honestly, assess your strengths and weaknesses, and begin to succeed.

Taken from "Your Road Map For Success." John C. Maxwell
