Why think positively? All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control whether we know it or not. This affects our lives at work and at home. You'll only be as successful as you think you can be. We are constantly having inner conversations with ourselves, whether we realize it or not. Is what you are saying to yourself helping you or hindering you?
There are three C's that we should be saying to ourselves:
Commitment: Make a commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, and other worthwhile causes. Be enthusiastic. Dream of success!
Control: Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities and develop strategies for dealing with your problems. Learn to relax. Enjoy success.
Challenge: Be courageous; change and improve every day. Try new things. Consider several options. Ask lots of questions. Be optimistic.
Studies show that people with these characteristics are winners in good times and survivors in hard times. Business will always fluctuate and there will be times when sales may be less than desirable, but our attitudes make all the difference in the world.
