Attitudes to Success

Attitudes to Success.

For each of us, how successful we feel will depend upon our attitude toward success. Similarly, our motivation to achieve will be determined largely by our attitude. Equally the amount of success we achieve and the amount of success we do not achieve, will be determined in large parts by our attitude to success.

Our attitude to success is part of our Success Intelligence. Recognising our attitudes and changing them can often be a way of achieving greater success. Recognising and understanding our attitudes toward success is a way of improving our Success Intelligence. It is also a way of helping to overcome some of the 'blocks' that inhibit our path to success.

Your Attitude to Success

You selected;

No pain, no gain. Success will only come after some amount of loss or pain on my part. Life is never easy and success can only be achieved if you are prepared to overcome obstacles, set backs and misfortune.

This would suggest that you feel success also has a 'dark' side, a painful side, and it is only those people who can overcome or combat this 'dark' side, who are likely to achieve success.

So in order for you to achieve success, you make sure you are prepared for any obstacles or set backs that come your way. You either overcome them or stop before you get to them. If you overcome them, then fine, you can achieve success. By stopping before you reach them, you limit your successes.

I first came across the concept of Success Intelligence in the book of the same name by Robert Holden.

This is an easy to read book that outlines his concept of Success Intelligence and its various aspects.

If you are interested in this area or in success generally, then I can recommend you to read this book.
