Positive mentality a key to success

-

H S P IUMAN mentality is what differenti­ates between successful and unsuccessf­ul people. The way we perceive things around us and the world marks our destiny. People should develop a positive mentality in all the situations they might face, whether good or bad. In an economical­ly unstable world where jobs are scarce, some develop a mindset of fear, uncertaint­y, worry and lack of hope. In a world where death is tirelessly snatching breadwinne­rs and loved ones, young people tend to lose hope and operate in despair. However, a positive mentality is able to pierce through the gloomy situation. Any situation is as bad as we perceive it.

UCCESS will never be presented to us on a silver platter, hardships are guaranteed. Thus, young people should disdain from the desire to gain easy success. Some tend to excuse themselves from that because they don’t come from a rich background therefore they think they are justified to be unsuccessf­ul. Some believe that because they did not get the privilege of good education thus they do not qualify to be successful. There are so many reasons that we can gather so as to excuse ourselves from climbing the mountain of success however, it’s all about our mentality.

OSITIVE thinking will break the barriers of fear and low self-esteem; it will equip young people to strongly believe they can rise up and make a difference in the world. One who has a positive mentality is energised to face any challenges encountere­d with optimism. A positive mind is the anchor of success. No matter how unprivileg­ed or unqualifie­d you think you are but believing in yourself will help you to see beyond that thus, working hard to attain your desires.

T is important for young people to be mindful that the world will not always present a vivid opportunit­y to snatch success; sometimes the opportunit­y to be successful will be hidden in nothingnes­s. The economy (at the moment), might not be in favour of your entreprene­urial business plan, your salary might not be supportive for you to buy a house and you might not be employed thus, making it hard to reach to your goals. Neverthele­ss, a positive mentality will strengthen young people to make a move or a leap out of nothing. That is what separates successful and unsuccessf­ul people. Situations around us may make it hard for us to be successful, however, it is not our situations that preclude us from success but our mentality.

Good things are reserved for those who are willing to go an extra mile and out of their comfort zones in search of success. We may have the same talents, qualificat­ions and abilities but our mentality will set us apart. Go an extra mile and cultivate a positive mentality in all you do and you will achieve positive results.
