“ The difference between mediocrity and excellence

is attitude ”

States of Cynicism

I know I m not going to get that job

I need to lose weight but I can’t. Everyone keeps telling me walking and exercise will help, but I know it wont work for me. Nothing ever does

I have overdrawn on my bank account and I have no way of getting any money to put it back

All the above conditions shows your negative attitude. Thinking negatively will keep you from getting the things you want or being where you want to be in life

Optimistic Approach

Learn to create Heaven around you, to nurture yourself and treat yourself well

Always feel tomorrow will be better, and many times it is

If you don’t create sense of calm about you , who will?

6. Track Your Progress

Outline your personal goals

Keep track of your goals through index cards or use a similar system

Our lives are constantly in a state of change, so our goals will experience similar changes

Remember what Eleanor Roosevelt said :

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”

You need to become your best friend and biggest fan

Always believe that God is fair and generous, and someday, He will compensate you
