Imagine this: you carry a jewel everywhere you go. Instead of keeping it close, you hold it out for others to judge. When people admire it, you feel proud. When they ignore it or criticize it, you feel ashamed.

A positive attitude reminds you that you can achieve whatever you choose despite what’s happening to you now. It is extremely powerful and demonstrates that you’re in control.

When external matters frustrate you, your positive attitude can weaken the frustration. It can remind you that you can reach your goal and that the external matter is only temporary as you continue toward your goal. A positive attitude becomes especially powerful when faced with negative external circumstances.
