If you hang around many personal development sites you will quickly discover that being positive is often touted as the answer to most of life’s difficulties.

NOT TRUE!

While it’s certainly important to remain positive about things as a general attitude, it’s not always the right attitude.

I was recently speaking with a friend about his job. He’s enduring a dead end job, going no-where but he tells me he’s trying to keep a positive attitude. In this case his positive attitude is hurting his future. He really needs to get mad about where he is at and make some changes.

A positive attitude could be keeping you from the right attitude.

The right attitude is whatever attitude gets you moving in the right direction and doing the right things.

Sometimes you need to get mad about something and make a change. Sometimes you need to realize that what’s going on “sucks” and needs to be different.

Some of the greatest reformers in history were not positive about what they saw… SO THEY CHANGED IT!

If being positive keeps you from being successful, then you are DISTRACTED.

Is your positive attitude keeping you from change? Is being positive about your situation keeping you in it when you need to get out of it? What do you think? Let’s talk!
