Life Balance: 10 Positive Quotes for a Positive Mental Attitude
March 5, 2009
Persistence and positive thinking is what it takes to achieve goals. Goal setting should be a daily exercise and all goals should be written down. It helps you stay focused on the big picture and not worry about the little insignificant things in life and in business. As you write your goals down program your mind to work on your goals daily with a positive mental attitude and the persistence needed to help you achieve any dream you have.
A list of ten positive quotes to help you develop a positive mental attitude.
- “There are two ways of meeting difficulties. You alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to meet them.” -Phyllis Bottome
- “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” -Sally Berger
- “ Leadership is knowing what you want and making it happen.” -Miriam Colon
- “Sometimes I think creativity is magic, it’s not a matter of finding an idea but allowing the idea to find you.” -Maya Lin
- “The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can’t do.” -Dennis Waitle
- “The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money or to find much fun in life.” -Charles Schwab
- “You must do the thing that you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
- “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” -Muriel Strode
- “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” -Marie Curie
- “Goals are as essential to success as air is to life.” -David Schwartz
These and many more can guide you to a more positive attitude which is necessary in these tough economic times. Are there other quotes that you can share that have helped you achieve your goals?

Dear Ms. Brander:
We have two gentlemen from SCORE who help advise us, but I really enjoyed your perspective in this article. Would you allow me to reproduce it to share with the women in our community – through our chamber newsletter and, perhaps, on our blog as soon as we have it set up?
Thanks!

Yes, I firmly agree that goals, a positive mental attitude, and persistence are indeed important to achieving your dreams. Don’t forget to add a good sense of humor to the list.
In fact, I’ve adopted a little saying that has so much meaning, adds a bit of humor, and has helped me get through some tough times over the years…. ILLEGITIMUS NON CARBORUNDUM!
It’s to the point and works for me!

I really enjoyed reading this. The quote by Eleanor Roosevelt rings especially true for me. My husband is always telling me I can do the things I dream about, I just need to do them! I think it is important to build as many positive relationships especially among women in the workplace. These quotes are all truly something to share and perhaps address at staff and/or committee meetings.

Dear Julie Brander,
I just finished a program called Unlimited Prosperity. In this program, affirmations are said daily. Much like the quotes that you have provided, affirmations are used to inspire positive thinking. Since doing this practice daily, I have been presented some wonderful opportunities in my life.
Positive thinking is powerful.
Peace & Excellence to you,

Excellent post! We do tend to let the insignificant things in life and in business worry us.
There is a quote I would like to contribute:
“Opportunities multiply as they are seized”
- Sun Tzu
Julie, thank you for this uplifting article.
