Individuals who are successful at reaching their goals are not ‘born lucky’. They are either born with the right attitude or have learned how to cultivate an attitude of success. Believe it or not, it comes right down to the ‘glass is half full/half empty’ attitude that makes a direct difference on winning and losing. If you believe you are a winner and deserve to reach your goals, you will. If you think of yourself as ‘unlucky’ and not capable of achieving success, you won’t ever get there.
You cannot change your biological attributes (without surgical assistance), but you can change your attitude. Only you can control how you think. If you find yourself having self-doubts or thinking negatively, stop immediately and change the direction of your thought. Imagine yourself as capable and successful. Picture yourself already being where you want to go in your life. Do it every day. When others around you start speaking negatively, change the direction of the conversation to a positive tone.
The difference between successful companies and companies that struggle but never get ahead is often simply a matter of corporate culture. Be a part of the successful culture in your company. Imagine that you work for a company that is highly successful and constantly winning all the business away from its competitors. Project that winning attitude when you speak with customers, vendors, and other employees. If every employee in the company believed that their company was the best and getting better every day, it would indeed become a reality.
