Positive Attitudes

Here is a great article I found on how to maintain a positive attitude.  It was saved in a two year old email and the author was not identified.  If you know who the author is please let me know.
 
8 Ways To Maintain A Positive Attitude
There Is No Obstacle Too Great

1. Become mindful of your thoughts and let them occur without
judgment. As you recognize self-limiting beliefs and feelings,
eliminate them by focusing on positive thoughts about the present
and future.

2. The author Charles Dickens advised, "Reflect upon your present
blessings, of which every man has many - not on your past
misfortunes, of which all men have some." Don't brood over
mistakes, carry grudges, or harbor hate.

3. Worrying is a wasted effort and the breeding ground of doubt.
It will lead you to contemplate potential losses rather than
effective solutions. The antidote to worry is positive action.

4. Adversity comes to each of us in time. Expecting rather than
dreading this adversity can make challenging periods seem less
daunting and will allow you to accept that you possess the
strength to conquer each obstacle as you have conquered obstacles
in your past.

5. Assume that hidden in every setback there is a lesson.
Consciously choose to think of the challenges you face in a
positive way: as a learning experience, an opportunity to
demonstrate your strengths, or the first step on a new path.

6. Think about what you desire, not what you fear. Visualize
future successes with the belief that you will achieve them, and
then take action. When you are working diligently toward a goal,
there will not be time to ponder the obstacles.

7. When negative thoughts and feelings threaten to overwhelm you,
take a "time out" and do something that makes you happy. Letting
yourself be swept away in a favorite activity or meditation will
inspire well-being.

8. Be confident that no matter what adversity you face, you will
be strong enough to remain positive and optimistic. Knowing that
there is no obstacle you cannot overcome will give you that
strength.
