| Step 2 - Shape Your Attitude |
 |  |  |  |
| STEP 2 – SHAPE YOUR ATTITUDE behavioral patterns of successful people, certain beliefs and character traits seem to find common place amongst these people. Many books have been written about this. So too have many motivational speakers used this in their seminars. Let’s look at a few: Be Positive You are what you think, for what you think you will speak, and what you speak will manifest. If you tell yourself “I can’t swim” or “I can’t play an instrument” or “I can’t make a million”. It will be so. You would be absolutely right. Luckily the opposite is also true. If you think you can do something, and you can believe it, you can achieve it. So if you think you can learn to play the piano, and you believe you can, you’ll make a plan to be taught. How great a pianist you’ll become depends of course on the amount of time and effort you’re willing to put in, given you’re able bodied. Do you think Tiger Woods ever tells himself that he sucks at golf? Of course not. Being positive about your venture is critical. You absolutely need to have a can-do attitude. You'll run into resistance around every corner. People, and with people I mean family and friends, will break your spirit. Not because they're mean, but because they don't understand your passion. Some will think you're just wasting time that you could have spent with them, while others will think its just a waste of time, period. You'll also find resistance from whichever industry your trying to break into. Whether you're a musician or pharmacist. The moment you're trying to change any mold, you'll hear about it. If you are really passionate about what you're doing, you'll continue regardless of what anyone says. Keep your focus and work through it. Of course there will be times when you'll get discouraged and even lose faith in your own ability to see your project through. We all know that it is inevitable, so if you're ready to give up, take some time to reset your goals. Maybe you just need to make a little adjustment, instead of quitting. Take some time off and forget about it for a few days. You'll enjoy the break and get back to your project with even better ideas fueled by enthusiasm. |
