Optimism is a cornerstone of positive thinking and having a positive mental attitude.  It is looking on the bright side of life, finding the positive in everything you do.  Optimism is a choice.

Being optimistic helps you enjoy life and feel better in yourself.  Optimism makes life worth living.

When you are optimistic you are not blind to reality, you can see situations but you remain positive and look for a solution.

Integrity

Integrity is the quality of being honest with yourself and others, along with strong moral principles.  Having integrity means being truthful even if doing so will make you unpopular and doing what is right although it may not be the easy option. Sometimes sticking to your principles can be the hardest thing in the world to do, but doing so shows great integrity.

Resilience

For me resilience refers to mental toughness.  Not giving up when things go wrong or take longer to achieve than you expected.

Resilience is the ability to keep going when many would have accepted defeat and given up.  Resilience is when you keep getting up every time you are knocked down.  Resilience is strength of character.

Resilience by Nikki Banas

You never know when you are minutes away from a breakthrough.  You never know when you are one project away from the promotion.  You never know when you are one hour of studying away from passing the exam.  You never know when you are one song away from landing the record deal… That is why you keep going; that is why you keep trying.  That is why when you fall down,  you stand back up.  Because the truth is too many people quit before giving themselves a real chance.  They stop because it isn’t happening fast enough or how they thought it would work out…  My beautiful friend, remember that all good things take time.  Be patient, and your time will come too.

Acceptance

Acceptance is one of the most powerful parts of having a Positive Mental Attitude.  Acceptance of one’s self or acceptance of a situation, once you can accept you can move forward, you are no longer held back.  You are free to fulfil your destiny.

You are capable of anything

Self belief is a very big part of having a positive mindset.  Believe in yourself and your abilities and you can achieve anything you put your mind to. It may take time and you will have to overcome obstacles along the way (we wouldn’t want life to be too easy would we?) but with a positive outlook on life you are capable of anything.

Patience

People often say that Patience is a virtue.  However, patience is also a positive attribute.  As Roy T Bennett says in this verse being patient is the ability to stay calm no matter what happens and turn a situation into an opportunity for growth and have the positive belief that everything will work out ok at the end.

Be the best that YOU can be

You don’t have to finish first or come top of your class to be the best that you can be.  Everyone has a personal best, a score in test, a time in a race, or a position in a league table.  It is possible to achieve your personal best without actually crossing the line before everyone else.

In life the challenge is the same, against yourself.  To be the very best model of yourself that you can be.  Compete with yourself, aim for your personal best in everything you do.

Live your life in the present.  Not in the past or the future.  Looking back may only lead to regret while looking to the future may fill you with fear of what is to come.  That said looking back does serve a purpose as it will show you how much you’ve achieved in your life and how far you’ve really come.

Be positive, Be true, Be kind.

Three simple phrases brought together by Roy T Bennett to make one powerful quote.

Being positive is vital for leading a full and happy life.  Positivity allows you to find the good things in all situations, even at the very worst of times.

Being true means being honest with others but also with yourself.  This is vital if you are to live your life to its full potential.  It also means sticking to your principals no matter how difficult that could be at times.

Being kind.  Helping others, offering a helping hand where you can makes your world a happier place to live.

Be positive, Be true, Be kind
