INTRODUCTION
All of us want to achieve a level of maturity,
prosperity, success, fulfillment and happiness in life,
yet few do. Its because only few are willing to go
through what it takes to achieve such a level.
There is a saying which holds true up to now,
95% of the population belongs to the classwhich we can call unorganized while 5% of
the population belongs to the class which wecan call leaders.
What separates the 5% of our population from the
rest of the 95% is their ability to organize their
attitudes and actions (called habits) towards a
specific goal and purpose.
The opposite is true for the 95% of the average
population. Average people often wish to enjoy thesuccess and prosperity that few successful people
have. But what they do not realize is that successfulpeople are able to achieve such prosperity out of a lotof sacrifices, by always pushing themselves,

challenging their personal limitations and becomingmore skilled in many different areas of life. When
average people get to know what needs to changeand sacrifice in order to achieve success, they chosenot to act and just stick to whats comfortable.
We are what we repeatedly do; success is not
an act, but a habit.Aristotle
If you want to achieve success, but you dont want to
change and be out of your comfort zone, then you
are in trouble my friend. Wishing success alone isnt
enough to bring it. You need to want and act upon it.
Begin by reflecting on the reasons why up to this
moment, you still have not achieved the success in
life you always wanted to have. Probably, your
unwillingness to change is what prohibits you to step
up higher than the status you are in now.
Id like to share a favourite phrase of mine which
reminds me to act upon my desires in life:

If you are happy with your life at the moment,then theres nothing you need to change. But if,
for even small reason, you feel that you are nothappy and you want your life to be different,
then you need to consider changing. And
change must start from within.
Instinctively, we all strive to find a level of comfort in
our life. We want to have and be sure of everything.We want to feel safe and to be assured that nothingunexpected is going to happen. The bad news,however, successful people knows that our comfort
zone is a very dangerous place to be.
Why?
If you are totally comfortable with everything in yourlife it means you arent doing anything. You are notlearning or growing. By natural law, this actuallymeans you are becoming less!
If you are not changing, you are not growing.And when you are not growing, its eithernothing will change in your life or you are
doomed to go down.
Successful people actually become quite concerned if
they find they have settled into a comfort zone. Theyunderstand the negative implications of this kind of

activity and quickly launch themselves into changingtheir thoughts, mindset and actions again.
And that is what this book will help you out. It will
guide you to change the circumstances of your life, bychanging your attitudes.

THE DRIVER OF YOUR
LIFE
Before we go further, let me motivate you by sharing
that most successful people came from humble
beginnings. In fact, a lot came from hard beginnings,
similar to the rags to riches story we often hear.
You may read to these stories of ordinary people
whove achieved the level of success that most
average people dreamt of:
Manny PACMAN Pacquiao: Attitudes ofSuccessful People
Jayson Yanuaria: Attitudes of Successful People Jay McLean: Attitudes of Successful People
So spare the usual excuse you make, like
I cant be successful, Im not smart enough.
They are successful because they were bornrich.

I cant be successful because Im surrounded
by negative people and circumstances
I cant be successful because I dont have
enough talent and resources
I cant start taking action with my passion
because Im too busy with work responsibility
I cant do that, because my friends and familydont want me to
I cant work on my passion because I have
kids to look after
I cant change; this is how God created me. Ill
wait for what he planned for me.
I trust the government and God to bring
happiness and success in my life
And so on. Remember that,
Wherever you came from, whatever
circumstances youve gone through or whoever
surrounds you, it is you who will determine
what will happen in your life.

Stop blaming your circumstances and results in life to
other people, negative circumstances or even God.
Wherever, whatever or whoever you are now, it
happened because of one person, and thats YOU. So
if you have the power in what happens in your life,
you are also responsible in changing it, if you want to
step up in the ladder of success, prosperity, maturity,
happiness and fulfillment in life.
Always remember that you are the driver of your life.
You have the freedom and choice to act according to
your will. There may be forces outside your control
but your response will direct the result that will come
out your way.
From this day on, as you journey towards the success,
prosperity and fulfillment you want to achieve in life,
remind yourself that:
I, not events or people, will determine the
result of my life. My attitudes and actions are
collaborative efforts that will direct me to
maturity, success, prosperity, fulfillment and
happiness in life. I will direct my life and will
not let outside forces to distract me.

IMPORTANT
ATTITUDES YOU NEED
TO CHANGE
What differentiates a person of success from another
average person is its attitude. Indeed, attitude is
everything. If you have the right attitudes, your
desired results can come into your life. Yet, if you
have the wrong attitudes, expect undesirable results
to come in your life. However, dont feel safe if you
are in between or often called average, because its
almost as worse as having the wrong attitudes.
Aimlessness leads straight to poverty, misery
and failure. A man without definite,
constructive purpose in life is simply one of
natures mistakes, because nature did notintend to create such kind of being, in all
probability.Napoleon Hill (80 Years Best-
Selling Success Author/Coach)

What kind of changes you need to make in
order to change the current status of your life?
1: Acknowledge Your Negative Attitudes
2: Create Good Habits
In a blog article Ive written, 10 Attitudes of
Successful People, Ive shared ten (10) important
attitudes a person needs to develop if one wants to
achieve success and happiness in life. In this book,
however, I will only discuss two (2) out of ten (10),
because I encourage you take the first small steps
towards change, before you jump changing it all. It
will help you not to get overwhelmed and as well as
create habits.
The focus and purpose of this book is to help you
take bigger and better change in two (2) very
important attitudes towards success and happiness,
thats your mindset and habits.
It is just natural to start the change within
before you can change whats seen outside.

What usually happens is when we create changes in
our life, often its superficial. So we change our
physical appearance, wardrobe, car, house, career,
work, or people we hang out with, yet after such, we
still feel so lost and unhappy. Thats because the
change weve made is not a change from within.
Physical and outer change is usually temporary, it
only seals our ill feeling for a little while, but the real
problem will still arise.
If you want to create lasting and permanent change
in your life, do so by creating changes within.
Because when change is from within, not only your
physical circumstances change, but your whole
outlook and action towards life changes.
The man who succeeds in life is the man who
gets what he needs when he needs it, and if he
does not get it, he is not a success, no matter
how proficient he may be in explaining the
reason why he did not get it.

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR
NEGATIVE ATTITUDES
The first step to changing your life is to
acknowledgeyour negative attitudes.
Quiet often, people doesnt realize or denies that they
have negative attitudes within them. Many see it as
weakness, and as such, the tendency is to deny it. It
is human nature to feel ashamed and insulted to
appear weak, humans want to belong, and part of
belongingness is to showcase strengths and power.Furthermore, arrogance comes from boasting
strengths and denying weaknesses, and such attitude
is what most people possess.
On the other hand, truly successful people know howto accept ones weaknesses. Because people who
achieve success and fulfilment in life know the value
of acknowledging owns weaknesses and improving
strengths.
Before we go further, Id like to share with you an
article that talks about the common fall of most

people, thats being cynical and perfectionist. Read
this article on how you can avoid falling in such
syndrome,How to Avoid Being Perfectionist?
An understanding of how to turn our
weaknesses into strengths can result in an
endless string of possibilities.Sun Tzu, Art of
War
In order to change negative attitudes to positive one,
begin by acknowledging your weaknesses. Once you
acknowledge that there is something not right with
your attitude, you can see clearly what needs to bechanged. Thats where your road to success and
happiness begins.
Activity:
Take a moment and reflect on your current behaviour
towards everything in life. Your attitude towards
people, work and responsibility; how you manage
your relationships, goals, tasks, finances, events, or
circumstances.
Heres an example of a list:

My Weaknesses
(As of __/__/__)
1) Selfish2) Cynical
3) Pessimistic
4) Arrogant and Bossy
5) Too Emotional
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
Take time to be alone and quiet yourself. Be truly
honest and sincerely list down the attitudes that youthink are negative, in respect to the person you are
becoming and the result it brings your life. List down
as many negative attitudes as you can, dont worry
about being judged as weak, nor think of your honour
and ego. No one will see your list, just you. So if you
want to help yourself to lift up your status in life, take
time to do this activity. As mentioned, the
importance of acknowledging your weaknesses can
help you pin-point which attitude you need to change
and improve at. Because unless you admit that there
is something wrong in your attitude, you wouldnt
want to change anything, right?

After acknowledging your weaknesses, make a
renewal of changing those weaknesses by doing the
opposite. For an instance, if you are selfish, develop
an attitude of giving more than you receive. Another
is if you are cynical and pessimistic; develop an
attitude of always looking at the bright side of things.
Do the same on the rest of your list.

CREATE GOOD HABITS
Once you develop a positive attitude, the next step is
to create good habits.
Habit is defined as a recurrent, oftenunconscious pattern of behaviour that is
acquired through frequent repetition. An
established disposition of the mind or character.
Short to say, our daily actions and attitude forms our
HABIT. It is the way we do things, how we think
and approach people and circumstances, our hobbies
and activities. Habits form part of us, whether we are
aware of it or not.
The truth is you can determine how far a person willgo by looking at his habits. If one has formed good
habits, expect that person will reap good results, for
his/her ability to discipline mindset and actions. The
opposite happens for a person who has formed bad
habits; expect whom to reap badly results for his/her
inability to direct his/her attitude and actions properly.

Personally, I have seen and dealt with different
people in diverse walks of life. Ive witnessed people
who live in slump (community of poor people), dealt
with average people who lives a standard way of life,
and as well as mingled with people who came from
high standard of life. Other than the status in life, a
great difference that people from different walks is
can be seen by their attitudes and habits.
*Note: Do not take this comparison as a way to feel
discriminated or demoted, but take it constructively
and objectively to see where you stand. So as you
can create change and form good habits.
Habits of Poor People - loves toprocrastinate and wait for things to happen
instead of doing something to change their
circumstances. Often has an attitude of
inferiority and without self-confidence in once
capability. Blames their misfortune on the
hardship their going through in life.
Habits of Average People are often hard-working but play harder. Ive noticed that they
work hard to earn more, so they can spend alltheir money again to acquire material things

and experience things that high-profile people
do. Its funny but true. Often average people
have a problem in the way they handle their
finances and how they direct their attitude.
Habits of Truly Rich People - in myexperience Ive seen that they are the simplest
person in our society. Unlike average peoplewho loves to appear high-profile and
glamorous, truly rich people likes to keep their
appearance and lifestyle simple. On the other
hand, despite keeping things simple, unlike
poor people, they keep a level of self-
confidence and belief in their purpose and
goals. These are the people who have
developed a well-sense of being because they
have developed the right attitude and habits
towards life.
Activity:
1. Take time to reflect on your current attitudes andhabits. Which group do you currently belong? Do
you have the habits of:

Be true to yourself and analyze your current
mindset and habits. Do you still want to stay
where you belong or you want to create change in
your life?
2. List down the bad and negative habits youcurrently possess. These are habits that you think
are leading you to becoming a failure or causing
you not to step up in the ladder of success in life.
