Welcome to all our new subscribers. We are pleased to have you with us.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We are starting a new program this week. Due to the fact that this is a free newsletter we are implementing a “subscription plan” that requires NO money.

For payment of your One Year subscription each year you will need to send in “ONE” Quote, or Success Story, or Business Tool, or Attitude, Personal Success Story, or anything positive that can be published for the public domain. That’s it, just one submission for your subscription payment. (Please note that e- mail “forwards” do not qualify.)

The purpose of this strategy is to get more of a participatory dialogue going with our readers– plus, the fact that the more you give in this world, the more you are likely to receive.

Seeds of Success: Attitude Is Everything!

By Robert A. Prentice

99.9% of everything in life boils down to having the right kind of attitude. This attitude I am referring to is what I call a Proper Mental Attitude. A Proper Mental Attitude is when you find some creative and innovative way to take a negative, and with the right attitude, turn this challenge into a positive. What is so wonderful about this is that anyone can learn the skills to do it! You only need a WANT TO.

One of the road-blocks to having a Proper Mental Attitude is negative thinking. It is very difficult to change any negative situation into a positive if we are constantly thinking negative thoughts. We must learn to think the proper thoughts if we want to cultivate a proper attitude. After all, often we can do nothing to change or control a situation. But we can change and control our own thoughts! Choose today to have a Proper Mental Attitude. Here are some of my favorite affirmations, that get me thinking in the right way:

Success is an attitude!

Everyday in every way I get a little better.

Plan your work and work your plan.

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Let's get to the GOOD news!

The Optimist Creed

Promise yourself–

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something good in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
