Attitude Is Everything!
by
Paul J. Meyer
There is power in
positive expectancy !
More than any other characteristic, quality, or
trait of human personality, an attitude of
positive expectancy is the companion of
success
in every achievement, every worthwhile venture,
every upward step in human progress.
William James, the founder of American
psychology, said: "The one thing that will
guarantee the successful conclusion of a
doubtful undertaking is faith in the beginning
that you can do it."
Gaining the Slight Edge
The slight edge is enough to enable one person
to exceed the achievements of others to an
almost unbelievable degree. Yet the difference
in skill, ability, and intelligence between
winners and losers is almost always very small
and insignificant. When two people are
approximately equal in all other qualities, an
attitude of positive expectancy makes the
winning difference in their performance.
The difference between a .250 and .350 batting
average is only one hit every ten times at bat!
Yet that difference brings
huge
rewards! A one-stroke advantage in a
golf tournament can bring about
enormous dividends!
Believe in Yourself
When you believe in yourself, others will
believe in you. They will put their trust in
your ideas.
They will cooperate with you. And they will
receive the same benefits of this positive
expectancy from their own experience. Believing
in yourself and in your work enables you to
multiply your efforts and magnify your results.
Develop an Attitude of Positive Expectancy
Positive expectancy: Transforms you into a
self-starter. Pushes you to develop your
potential. Inspires you to use your imagination
and creativity. Impels you to take purposeful
action. Produces determination. Forces you to
improve and to change. Enables you to gain the
slight edge!
With positive expectancy, you can surpass your
prior levels or success and often achieve a
great deal more than others who lack that
essential quality. There is magic in positive
expectancy!!!
To gain the slight edge and to become even more
like your Creator intended you to be, begin now
to adopt these beliefs and make them operative
in your life:
- A no-limitations belief in yourself. You are
unique. Your dreams come from the essence of who
you really are.
- A no-limitations belief in the potential of
other people. Helping other people recognize
their potential and use it meaningfully provides
a rich, fulfilling sense of accomplishment.
Always encourage others and be willing to give
them an opportunity to prove what they can be
and what they can do.
Helping others find their
slight edge sharpens your own.
- A no-limitations belief in potentials and
possibilities. The greatest dreams are yet to be
dreamed. The most constructive concepts are yet
to be formulated. The most successful plans are
yet to be drawn!
Positive Expectancy Works
It gives you the power of concentration. By
focusing all of thoughts ,
plans , and actions
on the object of your belief, you 1) define your
priorities, 2) block out your obstacles, 3)
maintain your enthusiasm, and 4) take
responsibility for actions necessary to
reach your goal.
It activates the law of attraction: like
attracts like. 1) You attract positive
influences and positive situations, and 2) you
are drawn to positive results.
It works through visualization: You can only
be what you visualize yourself being. You
can only do what you visualize yourself
doing. You can only have what you
visualize yourself having.
Develop an Attitude of Positive Expectancy
Mental images act as stimuli to both the
conscious and
subconscious mind.
When you meet any kind of obstacle or roadblock,
try again immediately. Setbacks are supposed to
be temporary; they become permanent failure only
if you stop trying.
Refuse to let what anyone says, thinks, or does
discourage you! Put into action the power of
positive expectancy and proceed and persevere!
The slight edge, bolstered by the power of
positive expectancy, empowers you to build a
storehouse of accomplished goals.
Take time to record your accomplishments in
writing. A written record serves as a source of
satisfaction, providing a warm glow of
achievement that can sustain you through tough
times and serve as a wellspring of encouragement
to yourself and to others....
To your success,
Paul J. Meyer
