Attitudes andbeliefs, while closely related, are not exactly the same. A belief is a
thought or mental image we accept as true. An attitude is what you put out into
the world through your words and actions.
For example, a belief such as ‘I’m not good enough’ will manifest in your speech
and behaviour. That’s when it becomes an attitude. In addition, attitudes involve
a degree of evaluation, in other words, what you feel about the belief.
A positive attitude shows in everything you do – how you walk, talk, what you
say, how you say it, and the way others see you. It builds confidence and success
in every area of your life. When you conquer attitudes of doubt and fear you
effectively conquer feelings of failure. And the good news is, positive attitudes can
be developed, using the Four Step Method and the I-T-I-A Formula©.
This section spells out seven attitudeswhich are essential for confidence, self-
esteem, happiness and peace of mind. Learn and apply them.
