Everyone knows that to be successful in life, positive attitude plays an essential role. But many of them do not know how to be positive and optimistic throughout their life. What are the things or steps essential to keep you positive and optimistic? Always think positive; thinking positive will give positive results. If you think you can win, you have already won 50 percent.
Use your golden hour (first hour of the day) in constructive work. It’s the hour during which you planned your mind and set your emotional tone for the rest of the day. The difference between successful person and less successful person is positive thinking and planning. Successful person plan their activities in the first two hours. If you get up in the morning at least two hours before you have to be at work, or before your first appointment or meeting, and spend the first hour to make better plan by reading good books. If you do not do this and you invest your precious time in the newspaper or magazines, your whole day will flow accordingly. If you invest your golden time in constructive work, planning, reading good books, your whole day will flow more smoothly.
You’ll be more positive, cheerful, hopeful and optimistic. You’ll be calmer, confident and relaxed. You’ll have a greater sense of humor, better control and well-being by the very act of reading healthy material for the first hour of each day. After just few days of reading for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning, you’ll notice a profound change. As a result of your early morning reading, you’ll feel so excellent about yourself and your life. You will feel more confident and energetic throughout the day. This will help you in taking right decisions, proper management of work flow, etc.
Try to adopt this process for some days and see. It’s a magnificent experience, and it can have a deep impact on the rest of your life. In the period of time before work, another thing that extremely successful people do is plan and prepare for their entire day. If you also want to be successful start practicing this habit from today. I hope from this article you will get some guidelines or help to make your life even better.

ADD and ADHD Disorders – A Positive Attribute For Your Child
If you’ve been told you have a child with either of the ADD and ADHD disorders, you definitely have some decisions to make about your child’s future. ADD ADHD disorder means that your child may struggle his whole life with certain activities people without these disorders can accomplish easily. Your child doesn’t have to be debilitated by this disorder for the rest of his life, by any means. If you can begin to understand what ADD and ADHD disorders are and to learn how to help your child deal with his disorder, you will set him up to be a successful, well-adjusted adult.
First of all, try to keep a postive outlook when thinking of ADD and ADHD disorders. and you be off to a good start in teaching your child to live with her ADD ADHD disorder. Think about how ADHD can actually have a great impact on your child’s life and choices. After all, over half of all American CEO’s and many successful entrepreneurs have ADHD.
The fact is that ADHD people must work very hard to function as well as their peers in most areas but that their disorder actually makes them more likely to seize new, different ideas than the rest of us who are used to going with the flow our entire lives. Looking at ADHD as a part of your child’s unique personality and learning to work with it as you would learn to work with natural shyness or an artistic talent can help your child see himself as special and unique instead of somehow on a lower plane than everyone else, and this outlook alone can help him conquer his ADHD and use it to his advantage.
Secondly, look at all your options for treating your child’s ADHD. If you’re coming at ADD and ADHD disorders from a positive perspective, your goal shouldn’t be to make your child into a person she isn’t but, instead, to help her alleviate some of the symptoms of her condition that keep her from being the best she can be. So instead of over-medicating your child to make her fit in with her peer group, try using a more natural approach that will help your child focus and concentrate while learning to work with the natural elements of her mind.
There are a few ways you can treat ADHD symptoms naturally: through diet and exercise, through behavior therapy, and through natural homeopathic remedies. The best possible way to treat ADD ADHD disorder is to use a combination of all three of these treatment types.
Dietary changes, lots of exercise, behavior therapy, and natural vitamins, minerals, and homeopathic remedies have been proven in many anecdotal cases to alleviate the worst symptoms of ADD ADHD disorder. The best part, though, is that your child can concentrate and focus without having to deal with any of the ill effects of conventional ADHD medications, which can leave children cheerless and sluggish, among other disastrous side effects.
What should you do next? Some some time researching the the alternatives available to you. Your child will be better off because of it, and you can feel good about doing something positive for them.

Get Over Being Dumped – The Positive Way
Your partner decided to let you go and you’re all alone. You feel abandoned, lost, and heart broken. You’re in a terrible position where happiness seems impossible to reach. What choices do you have? How do you get yourself out of this emotional mess? You need to see the separation from you’re partner as a “blessing”. Maybe he/she just wasn’t the one for you? Losing you’re partner might be the right thing for you, you just don’t know.
Picture You’re Previous Relationship
Was you’re ex-partner really the right match for you? Really ask yourself this question. You may have been having the time of you’re life with your ex but maybe he wasn’t really the right one for you. Don’t think that he is the only one for you and you will never find someone like him/her again. Was the relationship you had together really that great? Could you have captured somebody better than you’re ex? You’re relationship with your ex might have been great but there are other men/women available that you haven’t met yet. Your ex left you but it’s not the end of the world. There is someone better out there waiting for you!
The Emotions You Are Feeling
The emotions your going through after getting dumped are truly terrible. You must not let these emotions take control over you. The confusion, anger, sadness, you’re experiencing is totally normal but you must switch them around. Once again I have to tell you that you need to see your break up in a positive light. See you’re anger and sadness as tools for motivation. “I loved him but he doesn’t love me”. “Why did he leave me?”. Don”t you know that I love you?”. You might have loved them but obviously they didn’t feel the same for you so they let you go. Take all the negative energy that you got from you’re ex and turn them into positive realizations. He/she left you because you weren’t a compatible match together. Let this be a positive sign to you helping you realize that you weren’t with the right mate.
I’m Over Him/Her
Once you’ve accepted the fact that you got dumped your automatically set in a whole new playing field. You should be free of the thoughts of you’re ex by now. Keep in mind that you’re past partner wasn’t the right one for you and that you are lucky that he dumped you. You deserve better. Keep yourself in high spirits by occupying you’re mind. Stay busy as much as possible by doing activities that you enjoy the most. I suggest not going to places that you have spent with you’re previous partner. Instead go to places that you haven’t socialized yet to meet new people. Spoil yourself to the point where if someone even mentions the name of you’re ex it wouldn’t even ring a bell because of all the fun your having.
Why Did I Get Dumped?
If you have a day off spend that time alone. I recommend going somewhere where you are totally alone and have the ability to relax and feel comfortable. Now, when you are sitting down I want you to remember the events that lead to you’re break up. Who was wrong in the relationship? What did I do or what did my ex do to cause our separation? Ask yourself this and come up with the most honest answer as possible. Don’t deny anything. You need to analyze every moment that you and you’re ex spent together and see what mistakes you committed. Remember, answer them honestly. Whatever answers you come up with will benefit you’re future relationship knowing the mistakes you made in the past. Really take you’re time in doing this. It will come in handy so much in you’re net relationship.
“Sorry, But I Just Can’t Get Over My Ex”
Daily Positive Affirmations change things for the better
Our lives have been influenced by whay we say to ourselves because our thought and behaviour are not just a product of our conscious mind but also of our subconscious. As a result, daily positive affirmations are said to change those negative thoughts into positive ones and start making a change for the better.
Because it changes the way you see things and the way you deal with life, daily positive affirmations are not just beneficial for yourself but also to people that you deal with everyday. Daily positive affirmations are done by talking and communicating to yourself positive things that you want to inculcate into your subconscious.
If for example as a child you are being told repeatedly that you are stupid or dull, it would, in the end, affect the way you think about yourself, your behavior, and you lose confidence in yourself. You may even unconsciously reinforce the idea in your subconscious by telling yourself how stupid you are every time you are not doing something right.
If you are bombarded constantly with negative statements, you also tend to feel tired, with low energy, and you end up always in doubt. Truly, by changing the way we think, we can do better and we can strive to reach our goals, and be happy with life, and having daily positive affirmations is a great tool in doing this.
In making positive affirmations, you have to create positive sentences that you will tell yourself everyday – either mentally or saying it aloud. Saying it aloud is seen to be more effective as it can be clearer when heard. These short sentences are formulated in a positive way and make sure you are not using negative words.
Say, if you want to lose weight and you want to retrain your mind to getting into shape, you tell yourself ‘I choose to be slim, attractive and healthy’ and not ‘I am not fat.’ The mention of ‘fat’ may bring in negative thoughts into your mind, and of course, you might not even want to hear the word. Also make statements as if they are already happening and true. Instead of telling yourself, ‘I want lots of money,’ go tell yourself, ‘I can see more money coming to me’.
In making sure you are drafting good statements for your daily positive affirmations, you can find many resources online on how to make your own affirmations. You can even find some CDs and videos of positive affirmations that you just have to watch everyday.
Another technique in retraining your mind fast is by the use of subliminal messages. Unlike positive affirmations, these messages are not grasp by your conscious mind but reaches out directly to your subconscious. These messages are often embedded in mediums like videos or photos, and are even found in movies and ads. Although these messages are not readily grasped by the conscious mind, they too can affect the way people act and behave. When put into good use, positive subliminal messages can be a good tool in changing the negative thoughts your have to positive ones.

Self Esteem – How to Use Powerful Positive Passionate Thoughts
Is thinking that you can create the life you want simply by your thoughts just metaphysical mumbo jumbo? If one can truly create real happiness just by thought then why aren’t more people happy?
Let’s consider the two sides of this particular coin.
Here are some self limiting, negative, sorrow inducing thoughts, statements, ideas that are often taught to our children:
– You’ll be sorry later.
– Life is full of disappointments.
– You can’t always win.
– You can’t always be happy.
– You’ll just have to learn to live with it.
– One person can’t make a difference.
– Money doesn’t grow on trees.
– There is not enough for everyone.
Here are some powerful, positive, passionate thoughts, statements, ideas that can be taught to our children:
– No need to be fearful, you are a magnificent person.
– Life is wonderous and full of excitement.
– You can be, have or do anything you want.
– If you choose to be happy then you will be happy.
– Live with purpose, live your best life.
– Having money allows you to serve others, attract lots of money.
– God (the universe) provides lavishly for you and all humanity.
With the first set of thoughts what kind of family, community, country do you think this child will create as he reaches adulthood? Looking at the second set of thoughts what kind of family, community, country do you think this particular child will create?
The first child might find himself living in a world filled with kids taking guns to school, teachers afraid to teach, countries at war, rampid disease, poor living conditions. The second child would not, his world would reflect peace, a sense of purpose, that making a difference in all aspects of his life matters. His sense of well being would bring him prosperity.
Examine your beliefs closely. Do you fall into group 1 or group 2 or maybe a combination of the two. What does your life reflect right now? Is it a match to the reoccurring thoughts you have daily? The secret, often unshared thoughts that live in your soul, the ones that make up who you think you are.
If you want to have a powerful, positive, passionate life, then why not focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. Your thoughts are the most powerful thing you own, pass them on. It can make a great inheritance for your children
As the saying goes ” A man is only as happy as he makes up his mind to be.”

Long Term Benefits of Positive Reinforcement vs Negative Reinforcement
Long Term Benefits of Positive Reinforcement vs Negative Reinforcement by J. Richard Kirkham
Over the years of tutoring students with behavior challenges, I’ve noticed a pattern of negative reinforcement by both parents and teachers in an attempt to diminish or stop such behaviors.
Let’s review some basic behavioral reactions from all human beings. This includes both adults and children since these are basic behaviors.
Children and adults avoid negative stimuli.
This includes but is not inclusive to spankings, getting yelled at by the boss, or even disapproving looks.
Children and adults attempt to receive positive stimuli
This includes but is not inclusive to hugs, getting complemented by the boss, or even approving looks.
In the absence of any stimuli children and adults will attempt to create situation wherein responses by authority figures or peers is motivated.
In most cases I’ve witnessed in both children and adults the activity to promote this stimuli tends to be in the form of a negative behavior issue. Again, this applies to both children and adults from throwing paper airplanes to antics at the water cooler at the office.
Why are these behaviors primarily negative?
Let’s consider the way we were raised.
I’ve actually had successful, intelligent parents tell me and I quote one person
“My wife and I don’t believe in rewarding expected behavior.”
What do you believe my former student will do when he/she feels a need for attention? Do well on a test? No, that’s expected. As is behaving in class, in public and basically acting in an appropriate manner in all situations.
I’ve seen the same attitude in over 75% of the parents who hired me to consult with them over email or tutor their child and it’s not the parents fault. Most parents don’t have a background in teaching, counseling or psychology They raise their children, in most cases, the way they were raised. Getting the occasional tip from another parent or television. If the technique the parent uses even temporarily hinders a behavior. They feel successful.
For the most part, if the child has no extreme behaviors, the parents techniques raise a socially acceptable child with average goals in life, but at what loss of potential?
Let’s look inside the mind of a child through adulthood.
Let’s presume he/she has average self-trained parents who understand the benefits of positive reinforcement, but are, for the most part unsure how to execute it and therefore is sporadic at best.
Here’s a scenario;
John gets an A on his test. Parents praise him.
The next class John tries hard though he gets a D. Parents admonish him.
John gets another D in the same class. Parents ground him
John gets yet another D parents take away his hand held gamer
John stops trying in the class
John resorts to acting out for attention in that class
As his peers grow accustom to his behaviors John escalates them in order to receive the same amount of attention.
The parents finally have a meeting with the teacher of that class to find out why John gets into trouble in that class.
This can escalate further but generally doesn’t. Do you now understand, however, why we act out in a negative manner in order to get attention. We keep the traits in us which are reinforced whether this reinforcement consists of negative or positive stimuli.
Let’s now examine some parents who, through classes study or perhaps even buying my book (were they the one’s) understand the importance of consistent positive reinforcement.
John gets a D on his test
A compliment is followed by constructive questions
John changes his study habits
John still gets a D
The parents hit a heavy bag, power-walk and release their stress in constructive ways.
A compliment is followed by constructive questions
The parents have a meeting with John’s teacher for the class.
The teacher works with John.
John probably does better on the next test.
Regardless of the results John still has his support group and is not alone. Which means I probably won’t get the “you’re my last hope” call.
Let’s carry both these scenarios into adulthood
Primarily Negative Stimuli
John graduated high school with B’s and C’s He’s working at a grocery store. He bags groceries and is a hard worker. He does what he’s told at work because he doesn’t want to get into trouble. He shows up to work regularly and has had a few raises.
Scenario with primarily positive reinforcement
John graduated high school with A’s and B’s. He started out bagging groceries. John knew he could do better than that. He worked hard utilizing the same positive reinforcement techniques his parents had utilized with him to improve his self-confidence. The customers, coworkers, and management appreciated his positive attitude and hard work. John asked questions and was not afraid to try or suggest new ways of performing daily tasks at work.
He’s now the manager of the grocery store with a very busy schedule as he is taking college courses in the evening.
Conclusion
Though John’s character is fictional, the results are not. Self-confidence and a lack of fear to attempt to achieve tasks without negative reprisals due to temporary lack of achievement is a must for the building blocks for both leadership and innovation. Without consistent positive reinforcement the child’s chances of realizing this self-confidence to perserveer and to develop and initiate new ideas and methodology is greatly restricted.
Let me conclude with a quote from my book
“Do you want your child to want to do the right thing or be afraid to do the wrong thing?

Getting Into The Right Mindset
Although it may sound insane, one of the biggest blunders that people make when dieting is to overly focus on their weight loss and the importance of what the scale is showing. Yes, we are all in this game to lose weight, but your focus cannot be on just that or true success will always be out of your grasp. For example, each of us has either lost weight and gained it back, or knows someone that has also done this. Clearly, while going through the process of losing weight is never easy, if someone has the right mindset and discipline, they can be successful. However, just losing the weight is clearly not enough and this is where most people go wrong. Instead of viewing your time on a diet as just a time to lose weight, consider it a time that you do some true reflection and determine the reasons behind your weight issues, and more importantly, the new behaviors and goals that you want to accomplish for yourself.
For some, its simply a matter of losing the weight and adding exercise back into their life. And, for others, their diet provides a unique experience to take a step away from food, re-approach the relationship from a new and healthier perspective. However, regardless of your own issues, the important thing to think about while you are going through your journey is to make them a point of reflection when you have reached your goal weight.
The bottom line is this; you have the power to drop your weight, and to also keep it off for the rest of your life. But, its going to require breaking the mold. Its going to require reflection and honesty towards your own issues and truly getting to the root of what has caused you to be overweight. And, while its never fun to look inward and examine our own vulnerabilities and issues, being able to do this is what is going to allow you to truly achieve triumph.

Happiness is a day is a day not happy, why not be happy every day. Work actively towards a serious and responsible attitude, determined to enjoy the work we will bring us happiness.
First, the manifestation of attitude

Second, the change in work attitude, enjoy a happy work rules
1, the minimum work standards. To do their work is the first element of success. All walks of life, every field of human activity, all in the hands of calls to staff who work well independently. Ziegler said: “If you can do to their part, try to complete their own thing to do, then one day, you want to do whatever they want in their own thing.” Conversely, if you all things and just never strive to do their work, then you can never reach the top of the success of bees.

Similarly, a small thing, you spend an hour done to him, when he found inadequate, go to add, amend, spent half an hour to complete the task to miss the best opportunities. Relative to the management of the high efficiency, work efficiency, low efficiency caused by recessive or no waste is very large: the original work undertaken as long as a person, you need to complete two or more persons; should be repeated according to plan tasks delay; should work correctly by mistake, which can lead to rework, redo, and other waste of time and effort to correct the behavior.

If you really can do this every day, so that such companies and employees are very great. What is simple is a thousand times the simple things can be done well; What is not easy, that everyone thought was very easy things you can seriously go do it. So very simple, very profound.

What Is a Business Mindset?
Have you ever wondered what a business mindset actually is and what it means to have one?
Well, here’s a practical breakdown of what a business mindset is.
See how many of these characteristics you already possess yourself.
Aim to work on the ones where you feel you fall short…
Having a Business Mindset Means Knowing What You Want From Your Business
A business should serve a specific purpose and before you create yours you need to know what you want from it.
To achieve this, start with the lifestyle you’d ultimately like to live, then work backwards and make sure any businesses you create can give you the money, freedom and fulfillment you require to live this lifestyle.
With a Business Mindset You’ll Never Quit Even When Things Get Tough
Creating and running your own business is tough, especially in the early days. Anyone who tells you any different is only telling you what you want to hear.
There will be many challenges before you succeed and you must accept this. However, if you absolutely refuse to quit you will eventually succeed and with the correct business mindset things will get much easier.
A Business Mindset Enables You to Accept Failures and Learn From Them
Following on from not quitting, you’ll inevitably follow some paths which will blatantly fail. Whether it’s ideas you have and try out or entire businesses, unless you’re extremely lucky then you will experience failures.
Pick yourself up, learn from your mistakes and try again. Failing isn’t the same as quitting, as long as you try again. If it becomes obvious that you’re going to fail, don’t be afraid to fail fast and move on to the next idea quickly.
Having a Business Mindset is Setting Goals, Tracking and Achieving Them
Sometimes the work involved in starting a new business or project can seem overwhelming. Setting yourself goals which are achievable and tracking your progress will help you keep on the right track.
Once you’ve achieved your goals, set yourself some new more ambitious goals and follow the same process. Repeat until you’re where you ultimately want to be, living that lifestyle we talked about earlier.
If You Possess a Business Mindset You’ll Focus 100% on What’s Important
It’s easy to set yourself lots of goals and then try to achieve them all, but you may find yourself overwhelmed again. Use the 80:20 rule and identify those 20% of goals which will give you 80% of the benefits.
Focus on these goals one at a time and you’ll cut through the overwhelm and ultimately achieve more with the same effort.
Possessing a Business Mindset will Enable You to Ignore Criticism
Whatever goals you try to achieve, you’ll see criticism from all directions. Either ignore it, disassociate with those people who criticise you or do what I do and have fun with it.
I enjoy people’s criticism because I know they either don’t understand what I’m doing or they’re jealous because I’m doing something that they never dare do. I have fun listening to the “what if…”, “I wouldn’t do that because…”, “now’s not the right time to…”. I’ve heard it all before.
A Business Mindset Enables You to Streamline, Automate and Outsource
Create checklist for all of your regular tasks which are either complex or important. This improves both consistency and quality. Look at your processes and strip out anything that you don’t really need to be doing.
Create systems to automate whatever you can and then finally outsource the rest of tasks you don’t want to do. This process promotes the freedom and fulfillment parts of the lifestyle you’re aiming for.
To Possess a Business Mindset You Must Become an Expert Marketer
Out of all the tasks you chose to do yourself, either because they’re extremely important or you simply enjoy them, I’d highly recommend you put “marketing” into the extremely important category. You don’t have to do all the marketing yourself, I don’t expect you to be handing out flyers unless you really want to.
However, marketing is such a vital component of any business you do need to learn how to do it really well yourself. Never lose sight of what’s going on in your marketing, it could cost you dearly.
Having a Business Mindset Means Creating Money Making Machines
What you should be aiming for is to create businesses which are money making machines, so they can support the lifestyle you want to live. When you own a business or businesses which run with very little input from yourself you should be pretty close to having the freedom and wealth you need to finally do what you want to do with your life.
If a business requires your constant input, it’s more of a job than a business. Aim to build largely autonomous businesses and you won’t go far wrong.
Possessing a Business Mindset Means Being Passionate About Your Niche
Creating and running any business can be tough at times but it’s much easier if you’re passionate about what you’re doing. If you enjoy and truly believe in what you do your journey will be made much easier. Don’t just chase the money. If we all did that I’d be selling weight loss products now, but I’m not remotely passionate about that niche so it’s never going to happen for me.

Altering The Recession Mindset
This morning I checked and as far as I could detect there was no massive disaster that wiped out 20% of the worlds population. This means that there are still six billion people (plus) who need food, clothing, shoes, bed linen, homes and all the trappings that life requires. So we lost billions in the crazy stock market well they are gone and alas crying will not bring them back. We could victimise a few people but that will not bring the money back either but will result in our imprisonment; thus not worth it.
So what do we do? We reinvent ourselves just like we have been doing for centuries and this time is no different. Human beings are resourceful and we shall conquer and overcome all adversity because we have to; we need to. So come on now desist with the long faces of misery because THANKSGIVING CHRISTMAS and the NEW YEAR are around the corner and we all love the merriment of the holidays. ‘A Happy Future To You and To All of Us! Amen!’
Calling all media outlets: hear ye, hear ye ‘great news is calling so how about changing your appetite and digesting all the good news that pops up all around the world for the next few weeks.’ Please do not print anything on the front pages besides good news. CNN are highlighting heroes around the world and if these heroes are a testament to positive mentalities then let us hear more.
The industrial age spelled doom for the cottage industries all over the world and small farms received a hammering but what did people do; they adjusted. Life is a circle and as it rotates so do opportunities and if something becomes unsuccessful or unfashionable in one area well it may work somewhere else. Perceived recessions are opportunities to realign with the prosperity consciousness of our universe and remind us we need to pay more attention to saving versus spending.
Right now 15 – 20% of world populations are below the poverty line which spells opportunity for industries willing to relocate. If industries relocate then they will need skilled labour to follow it in order to train the new employees. America, Canada and Australia were the magical centres of attraction for many decades and perhaps the tide is flowing towards another area. When you move you may earn less money but it should cost less to live in your new surrounds and if Governments gave tax incentives to relieve the expense of moving it would not be so bad now would it.
Our ancestors have moved for thousands of years and this is not going to change just because we think it should. Frankly and personally speaking extended families are not exactly complimentary for change; thus why be attached if it restrains progress; besides change is good; really good. If we have learned anything from the recent elections in the US it is that people do not embrace change like their leader President Barack Obama may desire them to.
Change is not easy for many because it means stepping out from comfort zones and that is like pulling teeth from a rock. Our universe is all about change and that is something we have to accept and move along with it otherwise we get left in the dust while industry shifts and is snapped up by those willing to embrace change.
Let this quote from the book of Sirach guide you as you contemplate change: ‘Thanks be to God, all turns out well and everything is held together by his word.’ Sirach 43:26
Useful tip: grab hold of an atlas and take a peek at the expansiveness of each continent and ask where would you like to move. Now language is a consideration but let it not detract your attention because we all have the capacity to learn a new language as long as we choose good teachers to guide us. See there is another source of employment; language tutors! Now instead of moving think of something else you could do but have delayed implementing because life was getting in the way. Well now life has offered you the opportunity and time to think! Recession; we are alive ain’t we now come on let the sun shine in and smile; that’s right just keep smiling! We all have brains and feet (metaphorically speaking) therefore we may move wherever we choose because we are the masters of our fate which means being in charge not allowing others authority because it suits us to do so.
