Are you approaching your career with a positive attitude? Are you a positive person? If not, any task is going to be more difficult. Your job performance is directly influenced by the way you think and feel. The more you can remain positive and motivated the more success you're likely to have. This month, I want to provide some advice and insight about staying positive borrowed from a few great thinkers and leaders in this world.

 
  1. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.
         “Do not EXPECT troubles as they have a tendency not to disappoint.”
              - Napoleon Hill.

  2. Don’t make reasons for failure; instead look at what can be done better next time. 
         “
    Big thinkers are specialists in creating positive, forward-looking, optimistic pictures in their own
         minds and in the minds of others."
              - David J. Schwartz

  3. Try to find the opportunity in every problem. 
         “If I have the belief that I can do it, I will surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have
         it at the beginning.”
              -
    Mahatma Gandhi

  4. Write down your goals and make a habit of looking at them every day.
         “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
              - Lao Tsu 

  5. Try and think of something you are thankful for in each and every day. 
         “Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we
         didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all
         be thankful.”
              - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta

  

“The leadership instinct you are born with is the backbone.
You must develop the funny-bone and the wishbone that go with it.”
-Elaine Agather
