Is A Positive Mental Attitude The “Secret” To Success?

It’s been almost 10 years since the book “The Secret” (affiliate link) by Rhonda Byrne was released, along with a movie of the same name (if you don’t fancy reading!)

Even after all this time many books, blogs and T.V shows still reference this work and the idea behind it as a means to get the happiness you want.

The basic idea is that positivity breeds positivity, if you think in a positive manner this will have a positive outcome on events and actions around you. This is the “secret” of the title of the book (although Byrne calls this the “Law of attraction”.

How can we achieve this Positive Mental Attitude?

Realise You Can Change Your Attitude

We all have days when they seem to start under a cloud no matter how healthy we feel or organised we’ve been in the morning. If you’re feeling in a bad mood, see if you can find one positive in your day whether it’s the fact that they spelt your name correctly on your Starbucks order or the sun is shining. That one small ray of light can help shift your attitude.

Use Positive Words

Try to avoid negative phrases like “I can’t do that”, “that won’t work” and instead focus on the positives of what you can do and what will work.

Don’t Fear Failure

Many people won’t do something in case they fail at it but I think the old adage stands true that “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”. I think it’s important not to worry about failing but to embrace these and learn from your experiences.
