So I saw this article this morning and felt I should share..

A faint but discernible dividing line separates
achievers from dreamers. What makes the
difference?
Attitude. Achievers have a can-do attitude that
sets them apart from mere dreamers.
Achievers are sold out to success—no matter
the obstacles—and they are willing to put
forth the effort and pay the price of success.

Here are 10 tips to reveal your own can-do
attitude:

1. Disown your helplessness. Can-do people
aggressively pursue solutions, and, in the
process, uncover creative solutions others
never even try to find. Rather than wallowing
in helplessness, can-do leaders search
diligently to overcome the obstacles in front
of them.

2. Take the bull by the horns. Can-do people
are fearless. They go straight to the source of
their solution. Their very effort commands
attention as they wrestle a problem to the
ground with expediency. They don’t wait; they
initiate.

3. Enter the no whining zone. Can-do people
abstain from complaining. They recognize its
futility and guard their minds and mouths
against indulging in this time-wasting activity.

4. Put on another’s pair of shoes. Can-do
people empathize with others. They attempt
to see any predicament from the other
person’s perspective in order to make the
best decisions.

5. Nurture Your Passion. Can-do people are
immune to burnout. They love what they do
because they’ve learned how to fuel the fire
that keeps them moving. The prize is not given
to the person who’s the smartest, nor to the
person with the advantages in resources and
position, but to the person with passion.

6. Walk the second mile. Can-do people
exceed expectations. While others settle for
an acceptable solution, they aren’t satisfied
until they have achieved the unimagined. They
set expectations for themselves higher than
what is dictated by the people or situations
around them.

7. Quit stewing and start doing. Can-do
people take action. While others are crippled
by worry, fear and anxiety, they have the
fortitude to press forward. The perfect
moment when all is safe and assured may
never arrive, so why wait for it?

8. Go with the flow. Can-do people can
adjust to change. They don’t get caught griping
about an unexpected curve in the road. They
accept transition with an optimistic outlook.

9. Follow through to the end. Can-do people
not only initiate, they finish. They are self-
starters with the capacity to close the deal.

10. Expect a return as a result of your
commitment. If you make an all-out
commitment with a can-do attitude, expect a
return. Passionate commitment is contagious,
and resources follow resolve. Committed
leaders will reap rewards and find open doors
as others are drawn to the excitement and
energy emanating from them.
