Positive Attitude - How To Keep One When No One Else Has One

by Jason Osborn

Keeping a positive attitude is not always easy, especially when it seems that no one else around you has a positive attitude. It seems like people are always complaining about something. They have bad attitudes towards their jobs, boss, life, spouse, relationships, economy, government, kids, and even the weather.

How in the world are you supposed to keep a positive attitude when all of this negative stuff is going on around you?

One of the keys to keeping a positive attitude is to always remember your 'WHY'. Why did you start doing what you are doing in the first place, i.e. your job, marriage, or business? If the reason you are doing these things is strong enough, then you will be able to stay positive because you know what you want your end result to be.

However, if you don't know why you are doing what you are doing, then it's going to be very difficult to stay positive. Maybe you started something but you no longer have a desire or passion for it. What do you do then?

The first thing to ask yourself is, have you truly lost your passion for what you started, or are you just in a slump or in a down time. You will certainly go through down times, but if your ultimate goal is still there you can work through them.

However, sometimes things change and you no longer have a desire or passion to continue with what you have been doing in life. It's at these times that you need to re-evaluate what your life's dreams are. Remember, you only have this one life to live, so what's the point of living it doing things that you hate.

You will be amazed how negative attitudes will change into positive attitudes if you have a clear focus on your 'WHY' in life.
