There are two kinds of people, asserts author Steve Chandler: victims and owners.
Be an owner.
You'll learn numerous techniques for breaking down negative barriers and letting go of the pessimistic thoughts that prevent you from fulfilling, or even allowing yourself to conceive of, your goals and dreams.
Does Happiness Make You Successful?
For example, happiness is a predictor of sales success. The happiest people on the sales team are the ones selling the most.
Top performers are people extremely happy even when they arrived. Even when they were struggling, they maintained an optimistic, cheerful outlook. People enjoyed being around them. Happiness can be contagious.
Positive Psychology
Optimism can be learned. We can spend a whole life as a pessimist and with the right learning and encouragement become a total optimist.
Reinventing yourself is not a pipe dream or some naive new age quest. It is a real and true possibility for anyone and everyone.
