To Become Happy Requires A Good Mental Attitude

By Dom Chan


How many times have you told yourself that you weren't good enough? Do you feel like a failure because you don't have that great big home, drive that expensive sports car or even have that gorgeous partner? I bet right now your life is far from being the way you want it to be if you think this way. This kind of negativity can prevent you from ever being happy and also hold you back from achieving your goals or dreams.

When you only think of negative things on a day-to-day level, you start to bring those unwanted events into your life. It's funny how in life, we tend to attract the things we don't want more often than not. This in itself is a clue on how you should lead your life.

To turn things around, you have to firstly quit being so hard in yourself. The next thing you have to do is stop beating yourself up because you don't have what other people possess. You need to create your own expectations of yourself and not consistently measuring yourself to your friends or people that you know. If you continue to do this, you will never be happy no matter how much you have in your life.

So why is having the right mental attitude so important? It is with the correct attitude that produces results that we so desire. If you want your life to change today, then you will need to start thinking differently from this day forth. Instead of focusing on the negative things, start thinking positively by being grateful for all the things you have at present. Stop chasing that rainbow for now, and learn to appreciate your life as it stands, right this minute.

Many self-help guides constantly harp on about how positive thinking is crucial to attaining your goals. There is nothing else further from the truth. When you're excited and when you're happy, you tend to achieve more because you become more energetic, and a lot more productive than if you were to be depressed all the time.

You also have to understand that in most cases where things never seem to go well for you, is more your negative mental attitude than bad luck.

Change your life today by doing the following. Get a piece of paper and jot down the top five things that you can be grateful for. It can be anything from winning a contest, getting that long awaited promotion from your boss, or even having a family that's all in good health. Read this to yourself daily in the morning and before you go to bed, for one week. After that add one extra point to the list once a week and in time you will see a gradual shift in your attitude towards life.
