Ingredients for success

So how can we develop our attitudes? Obviously, we first must realize that we need to. Then we must want to. If not, we will never change them. The most practical way to change attitudes is through spaced repetition, which is how attitudes were developed originally. Human behaviorists estimate that if you are exposed to an idea six times during six days, you will retain 62% of repparttar

idea after 15 years. Another powerful tool to change attitudes is affirmations. Remember Mohamad Ali. He used to brag all repparttar 122762

time that he was repparttar 122763

greatest — he was re affirming his belief in himself. We need to do repparttar 122764

same! Continuos use of positive affirmations about us have a tremendous power on how we see ourselves; how we see ourselves impacts how we act, how we act impacts our success. Is this all we need to be successful? No. We also need SKILLS. Most companies send employees to technical training; but many are not concerned with human behavioral skills. The higher we go in an organization, repparttar 122765

less technical skills we need; however, repparttar 122766

human behavioral skills become critical to repparttar 122767

job. We must keep in mind repparttar 122768

"soft" skills as well as repparttar 122769

technical skills required for our job. We can find people to fill in our lack of technical skills but is very difficult to get someone to replace our lack of human behavioral skills. What else do we need to be successful? Think about how many times have we had repparttar 122770

best of intentions to do something and we have quit along repparttar 122771

way? The answer is : GOALS. Goals "make sure" that we stay on track and aimed at our success. We should emphasize personal goals as well as professional goals. Actually, they are integrated. Excelling in one propels repparttar 122772

other. We must set goals for improvement for ourselves, making sure they are realistic, specific, measurable, actionable and time bound. Develop an action plan to accomplish your goal with positive affirmations to guide you. Slowly you will see your life changing. What about in business ?. How many of us find ourselves with no business goals, no direction? We fall in a daily routine of answering telephones, writing letters, having meetings, etc. Without goals for improvement we become slaves to repparttar 122773

system, to repparttar 122774

process. Goals drive companies to success. A change in our attitudes, skills and goals will result in changed behavior. This new behavior will bring about improved results, both in our personal lives as well as in our business live. A very simple formula: Positive Attitudes, combined with Skills and Goals result in success.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

And they shall come from repparttar east, and from repparttar 122761 west, and from repparttar 122762 north, and from repparttar 122763 south, and shall sit down in repparttar 122764 kingdom of God.

And when he was demanded of repparttar 122765 Pharisees, when repparttar 122766 kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.

I am come a light into repparttar 122767 world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Behold, I stand at repparttar 122768 door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open repparttar 122769 door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

And I saw an angel standing in repparttar 122770 sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all repparttar 122771 fowls that fly in repparttar 122772 midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto repparttar 122773 supper of repparttar 122774 great God.

And repparttar 122775 Spirit and repparttar 122776 bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take repparttar 122777 water of life freely. Glimpses of God © by Joyce C.
