Attitude: The capacity to stay positive and optimistic despite the circumstances
Choosing positive thoughts and behaviors + being optimistic in every circumstance = attitude
If we have a positive attitude, we think optimistically, hopefully, and cooperatively, and our behavior reflects this thinking.
A positive outlook on life has an immediate and direct effect on achieving our goals and attaining success.
A positive attitude requires:
- Choice: Our attitude is our choice. When we accept responsibility for our choice of attitude, we can see every experience as an opportunity to learn and grow.
- Control: We must take responsibility for filtering the input from our environment. Surround yourself with people who have positive attitudes and limit access to those who consistently display negative attitudes.
- Contribution: Positive people are generous people. They always see the good in the world as well as other people because positive people look for it.
