Acknowledgments
I would like to express my thanks to Dr. Velma Smith for pointing out my characteristic gift as a writer. Without your encouragement and guidance on how to get started, this book, along with my future books, might have never existed.
I would like to acknowledge the support provided by my family, friends, and associates. I would like to offer my special thanks to Melanie Bryant, who was absolutely right that it was a delay and not a denial. Those words were the encouragement I needed, especially when I thought this book would never get published.
My special thanks are extended to the staff of Inspiring Voices for helping me with the process of coordinating, editing, and marketing my book and making it available to inspire others to become more positive.
Introduction
T his book is based on personal life experiences regarding how to turn a negative attitude into a positive one. It’s an eight-step healing process that starts off with you asking yourself, “Am I the problem?”
You have to recognize yourself as the problem first in order to start off on the right track and to come up with a solution to improving your attitude within the workplace. “It starts at home” is a saying that others will use when referencing how a parent should educate and teach their kids to show and have respect not only for themselves but also for others. Starting from the beginning of this book to the end, it will walk you through your journey as a guide, step-by-step, page-by-page, and chapter-by-chapter on how to help you with reaching your destination. You have to crawl before your walk and walk before you run, and that’s exactly what this does for one who is trying to overcome challenges in life.
Sometimes, people don’t know where or how to get started with making a change for the better. Don’t give up. It’s never too late for you to turn your life around. Better late than never. I’ve learned through my own negative attitude along with help from others on how to improve my attitude for the better.
What inspired me to write this book are the experiences and turmoil I’ve been dealt with when having to deal with difficult coworkers with negative attitudes. Through them, I see how I used to be; it’s just like looking in the mirror and seeing just how far I’ve come with my attitude.
If I can make a change for the better, anyone can.
Chapte r 1
Am I the Problem? Admitting
T his chapter is based on life experiences. In order for the healing process to begin, the first step is the hardest step, which is admitting that you may be the problem. The questions and answers are meant to make you think, analyze, and come up with solutions to help improve your attitude so that you’re no longer the problem. This is the starting point to bringing an end to your attitude.
Ask yourself, “Am I the
