Positive Attitude: The Link To Confidence And Performance

Positive Attitude: The Link To Confidence And Performance

What a wonderful quote this is: “A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” Herm Albright (1876 – 1944) Positive attitude has a link  to confidence and performance. Think of a stage performer who has stage fright. Either and positive or a negative thought can make or break what happens on that stage. How do we keep our state of mind focused, mentally alert and tuned to the positive, optimistic side of things.

Or how about the wise words uttered: Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.  Winston Churchill. It surely does. We do not spend a lot of time thinking about it, until we see the extremes at work in our lives and relationships, personally and professionally, either positive or negative. Hugh Downs once quipped equally eloquently that a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.  So what are we to make of this all?

Positive attitude, thoughts, actions, beliefs, learned behavior, genetics, predispositions, it is all a state of mind, mind over matter and easy to do, most wisdom and thought out there currently tote. When it comes to the practicalities thought insights remains sparse and the battle is on-going.

The jury is out in most cases on how exactly this mind-body-soul type connection actually works, secrets, laws of attractions, power of positive thought, there certainly are numerous musing available on the topic. 

Just try thinking at the thoughts you had in the last couple of minutes as you were starting to read this musing, what were your thoughts? What were you saying to yourself? Were your thoughts positive or negative? See, most will find it strange that anyone should ask, they never really thought about it much and we are all similarly unawares of all this inquiry, self-talk, questioning, critique that goes on inside our minds!

SO everyone’s advice of making a conscious effort to think with an optimistic attitude and anticipate positive outcomes seems more of a insurmountable task as we will have thousands of thoughts literally every day, hour, minute, second and to deem the either, revise them to overwhelmingly positive ones at that seems almost impossible to undertake and effectively do.
