Having a positive attitude about yourself is much more effective, then a negative one. The excess stress caused by being too hard on yourself works to counteract your best efforts. Not only can this excess stress cause you to look tired, it can also cause you to give up on your goals too early--before results of your efforts become visibly apparent.
If you think positively and respect yourself, then you will do better. Having a positive attitude will give you more energy and motivation to achieve your goals.
If you think you can do something, then you have much better chances of doing it.
Use the following
poem as motivation to maintain a positive attitude:
Thinking, by Walter
Wintle
“If
you think you are Beaten, you are.
If
you think you dare not, you don’t.
If
you’d like to win but think you can’t,
It’s
almost a cinch you won’t.
If
you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For
out in the world we find,
Success
begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s
all in the state of mind.
If
you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve
got to think high to rise,
You’ve
got to be sure of yourself before
You
can ever win a prize.
Life’s
battles don’t always go
To
the stronger or faster man.
But
soon or late the man who wins,
Is
the one who thinks he can. “
