Inspiration Tips

• Don't put yourself down. Everyone is different and has a valuable contribution to make to a diverse society. You are important for the person you are.
• Don't stop yourself from doing what you want to do as long as it doesn't harm you or others.
• Remember that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Be careful not to portray a pompous or cocky attitude.
• Never excuse your virtues. For example, don't say, "Sorry for being here on time" when your friend is not ready.
• A lot of the time, peer pressure is to blame for lack of confidence. Some peer pressure is good, but never give in if you feel it's wrong. Trust yourself.
• Sometimes a person will compliment you just to get something. Depending on the situation/person, the "something" can be anything from money to a night out. Don't be a cynic, but don't be gullible. (Trust in your instincts. They are usually right!)
• Never let negative people, ones who always cry about everything in their lives or those who point smallest flaws in you with intention to hurt you, tell you anything. Most people do this when they know that you are better than them.
• Don't expect these steps to work overnight. Confidence must gradually be developed by a pattern of positive thinking and action; it can't be faked. (Unless your ENTJ, then it can be faked, but only for a short period of time.)

Inspiration Tips

• Don't compare yourself with other people. It is a wasteful pursuit and you could be doing something better with your time and energy. Know what you, personally, want and expect from yourself, and focus on attaining those things. The things that you want and expect from yourself don't have anything to do with how you measure up to others.
• Consider attending leadership classes. Learn to take control of things. If you are in school, then consider running for a social position, such as a president of a club. The ability to lead others and respond to others' behavior under your leadership will help to bring you self confidence.
• Listen to your inner monologue—your inner voice. In situations where you believe you lack confidence, realize that your inner voice is telling you negative things. You need to retrain that inner voice to be positive in those situations. If you need help, find someone who can help you do that.
• Speak positively at all times. When you hear yourself saying something negative about yourself, instantly replace it with a positive comment.
• You have to reprogram your subconscious by repeatedly telling it how confident you are, it will believe you in time.
• Know where you are going and follow through.
• Don't feel shy when talking to a stranger. Smile while you talk, as that will make you feel confident.
• No matter how you look, feel good about yourself from within. This attitude will make you confident.
• Walk 20% faster than your normal pace, stand and walk with your spine straight and hold your chin high. These physical posture will force you to think positive and be confident.
• These wonderful tips can be practiced if you pay attention to your innate faculties. Thus boost your kindness, consideration, empathy, exuberance, generosity, curiosity, concern, forgiveness, convictions by suitable actions. This is possible through caring for your true self [Cf: Superliving: Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar]

Keep a Positive Attitude Even if You’re on Your Last String!

The great violinist Paganini was performing before a most distinguished audience. Suddenly, one of his violin strings snapped. The audience gasped. But the master musician continued unruffled to play on the three remaining strings.

Snap! A second string broke. Then, with a sharp crack, a third string broke! For a brief moment, the artist stopped, raised his famous Stradivarius violin high, and with one hand announced, “One string — and Paganini.”

With outstanding skill, he finished the selection on a single string. His performance was flawless, and the audience gave him a tumultuous standing ovation.

There will be times in your life when one string after another will snap. And you will go through circumstances that might tempt you to give up. But if you maintain a positive attitude, you won’t allow yourself to give up. Here are my top four ways to creating an unbeatable positive attitude that’s invincible to failure - no matter what:

1. Stay calm.
When the tough times come into your business or into your life, it’s easy to get angry, agitated, or scared. This won’t help you. In fact the more emotional you get, the less capable you become. Instead, you must force yourself to remain calm. Not only will your calmness allow your mind to work, but it will also reinforce your own positive attitude. It’s a way of re-affirming that you can handle it.

2. Refuse to blame anyone or anything for your problems.
It’s easy and natural to blame someone else. After all, your company, your boss, your parents, your friends, and your spouse might even deserve some blame. Nonetheless, a critical step in attitude development is refusing to blame. Even though it may be justified, don’t do it.

The problem with blaming anyone or anything for your problems is that it doesn’t work. It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t make anything better. All blame can do is keep you stuck in a rut or make you spiteful. I guarantee this won’t turn you into a winner. It’s not going to help you achieve peak performance.

3. Focus on the positive.
There’s always some good in a bad situation. And there’s always some bad in a good situation. It’s the Yin Yang effect. So, what do you choose to focus on? An old ditty says it this way:

“As you go through life, brother,
Whatever be your goal,
Keep your eye upon the doughnut,
And not upon the hole!”

Some people focus on the hole. But the strategy seldom if ever works. You’ve got to stop keeping track of the negatives. Perhaps you’ve noticed. On a bad day, some people tend to count every irritation or inconvenience that occurs. They’ll burst out with, “This is the third time today something like this has happened.” Yet seldom on a good day do these people say, “This is the third time today something great has happened.” Keeping track of the negative simply gives you a weak and defeated negative attitude.

If you want to achieve peak performance, you must focus on the positive like Frank did, even though his constant optimism irritated his friends. No matter how horrible the circumstances, he’d remark, “It could have been worse.”

To cure him of his annoying habit, his friends decided to invent a situation that was so bad, so terrible that even Frank could find no hope in it. On the golf course one day, his friends said, “Frank did you hear about Tom? He came home last night, found his wife in bed with another man, shot them both, and then turned the gun on himself.”

“That’s horrible,” Frank said.
“But it could have been worse.”
“How could it possibly be any worse?” his friends asked.
“Well,” Frank answered, “If it had happened the night before, I’d be dead.”

4. Refuse to use a loser’s language.
The happiest, most successful peak performers, whether in life, in sports or in business, are those people who refuse to use a loser’s language. They know that words precede results. They know if they talk like a loser, they’ll end up losing. But they know if they refuse to acknowledge defeat, they cannot be defeated.

It’s like the little boy who walked onto the baseball field saying, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world.” He threw up the ball, swung, missed, and said, “Strike one.” He threw up the ball again, and once more he swung and missed, and said, “Strike two.” He did that for three strikes in a row.

At that point he picked up his bat and ball. With a smile on his face, he walked off the field and said, “I’m the greatest pitcher in the world.” He refused to use the language of a loser. He only talked about winning, and so should you.

Tough times will come. You may get knocked down at work or in life. But with the right attitude, using the four skills I just discussed, you can get back up. You can get back on track toward success. And you can reach optimal peak performance.

As a best-selling author and Hall of Fame professional speaker, Dr. Alan Zimmerman has taught more than one million people in 48 states and 22 countries how to keep a positive attitude on and off the job. In his book, “PIVOT: How One Turn In Attitude Can Lead To Success,” Dr. Zimmerman outlines the exact steps you must take toget the results you want in any situation.

Four Steps to a Super Attitude

Four Steps to a Super Attitude
By: Brian Tracy

Decide How to React
It is not what happens to you that counts. It is how you react to what happens to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any kind.

Learn how you can use to keep yourself thinking and acting positively and creatively.

Here are four things you can do to assure that your attitude is the very best it can be, under all circumstances.

Focus On the Future
First, whatever challenges you face, focus on the future rather than on the past. Instead of worrying about who did what and who is to blame, focus on where you want to be and what you want to do. Get a clear mental image of your ideal successful future, and then take whatever action you can to begin moving in that direction. Get your mind, your thoughts, and your mental images on the future.

Think About the Solution
Second, whenever you're faced with a difficulty, focus on the solution rather than on the problem. Think and talk about the ideal solution to the obstacle or setback, rather than wasting time rehashing and reflecting on the problem. Solutions are inherently positive, whereas problems are inherently negative. The instant that you begin thinking in terms of solutions, you become a positive and constructive human being.

Look For the Good
Third, assume that something good is hidden within each difficulty or challenge. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, a major proponent of positive thinking, once said, "Whenever God wants to give us a gift, he wraps it up in a problem." The bigger the gift you have coming, the bigger the problem you will receive. But the wonderful thing is that if you look for the gift, you will always find it.

Seek the Valuable Lesson
Fourth, assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to you to help you learn something, to help you become better, to help you expand and grow.

Decide to Be Positive
A Positive Mental Attitude is indispensable to your success. You can be as positive as you want to be if you will simply think about the future, focus on the solution and look for the good. If you do what other successful people do, if you use your mind to exert mental control over the situation, you will be positive and cheerful most of the time. And you will reap the benefits enjoyed by all successful people.

Action Exercises
Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action:

First, become solution-oriented with every difficulty you face. Make a habit of looking for the answers to your questions, the solutions to your problems.

Second, seek for the valuable lesson in every adversity. Make a list of every idea or insight you can gain from every setback or difficulty.

Third, think on paper. Take some time to write out every detail of the problem, and then take the most logical next step to solve it.
