How to Become an "I Can" Person?

Everyone's life will be full of ups and downs, and there is no exception to this. But, you may find that some people are always positive, irrespective of the situations that confront them. They approach every situation and task with a positive and enthusiastic attitude. Their body language will reveal that they are capable of completing the tasks they have undertaken. How is this possible only for these people? Can you emulate them and become an "I can" person? The following tips may be helpful.


1. Refrain from hitting the panic button.

People, and this may include you as well, get upset as soon as they face a problem. You may argue that it is impossible not to get upset when a problem stares you in your face. It is not necessary to panic. Remember that it will disturb your focus. Never forget the fact that "nothing lasts forever." The issue may be resolved, or the problem may disappear by itself. So, eschew the habit of panicking. Instead, focus on what steps you need to take to tide you over the situation.

2. Taking action will help you in more than one way.

The foremost benefit of involving yourself in tasks is that you will stop focusing on your problem. You may be aware that the human mind is a wonderful machine that does not allow you to think about more than one thought at a time. So, when you focus on your activity, you will stop thinking about the problem you are facing. 

Secondly, activities can calm your mind. You will have the right perspective to think of ways to resolve your problem. If your mind is not calm, you will be a confused person. You cannot think with clarity, and so, it may be impossible for you to find viable solutions to your problem.

"Sweet are the uses of adversity," said William Shakespeare. But Shakespeare's intention was different. According to him, you can know who your friends and foes are. On the contrary, according to this writer, the best use of an adverse situation is that your resilience will improve drastically. Of course, this depends on how you refrain from getting upset and embrace the "action habit."

3. Do your best and keep quiet.

When you face a problem, there may be certain steps that you can take. There may be a few things that are not under your control. So, take the steps that are under your control and stop worrying about those over which you have no control. 

4. Practice the "I can" attitude.

Whenever you take up a difficult task, you should approach it with an "I can" attitude. Only then can you think of the right ways to complete it. Otherwise, you will keep staring at the task at hand without a clue as to how to approach it. Your mind will go blank as well. This means you will get stranded and not be able to move an inch in the right direction. 

Approaching a task with an "I can" attitude will provide you with a plethora of ways to complete it. As James Altucher suggests, think of at least 10 ways to complete a task. You can choose the best way and start taking action. Practice this meticulously, and very soon, this will become a habit. History is replete with scores, hundreds, or even thousands of instances that show how people who have mastered the "I can" attitude have accomplished great feats.
 
To summarize, you may find these tips useful. Embrace them, and you will certainly see unimaginably great results in your life.

More about Success

What is success? The meaning of the word "success" is not the same for everyone. Why? The reason is that every person is unique and so is his or her perspective. But in general, the very thought of earning substantial money gives people tingles of excitement because, according to them, possessing or earning abundant money is the sign of success, and if they have a good amount of money, it will ameliorate their life.  It is also true that those who are not well-off nurture a tinge of jealousy towards affluent people. Communists call inequality in distribution of wealth unjustifiable. On the contrary, capitalists feel that communists' definition of equality is nothing but rannygazoo. Regardless of the opinions of communists and the capitalists, that success is nothing but earning substantial money is a myth. Points to ponder. 1. Experts sagely nod their heads and say that success is all about our goals and the strategies or ways we adopt to achieve them. In fact, setting t...
