Achieving Serenity of Self

Attitude. Webster's dictionary describes it as "Position as indicating action, feeling, or mood; as, in times of trouble let a nation preserve a firm attitude..." Attitude is the very basis from which springs the preparedness to face life's challenges. If we have a defeatist attitude, we will invite defeat. If we have an attitude for success, we will invite success. So how do we develop an attitude of success? Here are a few thoughts: 1. Surround yourself with people who feel good about themselves. These are the ones with a positive attitude. Negative- minded people will pull you down and then leave you cluttered on the wayside. Positive-minded people will pull you up, reveal your hidden potentials and make you success-minded. Be infected by them. 2. Always seek to step up.

Ever heard of a mediocre success? There is no such thing! Success is always a step higher than mediocre. Seek always to step up from where you are. Hone your skills. Always seek to be better at who you are and what you do. Never rest on your laurels. Life is a continuous ladder; there is always a rung higher from where you are.
