Just like buying a good grade of gasoline or keeping our car's motor tuned can help with performance and gas mileage, a positive mental attitude can do the same for us.
A lot has been written, and I'm sure will continue to be written and advanced, about the value of a positive mental attitude. However, let's be clear on what we mean by a positive mental attitude.
We're not talking denial or wishful thinking. We're not talking about setting unrealistic goals.
We're talking about being optimistic and about looking at the good in any situation - even those where we might have to look long and hard to find it. We're talking about believing in ourselves and our abilities. We're talking about persevering and coming out on top.
That's what a positive mental attitude is all about, and that's how we will get better mileage to go the distance than those without it.
