Through self-assessment and effort, one can develop a more positive attitude. 3) Developing a positive attitude involves taking responsibility for one's thoughts and behaviors, thinking positively, influencing one's environment in positive ways, and regularly renewing one's attitude through various techniques like humor, exercise, and simplifying one's life. Maintaining a positive attitude can lead to greater success.
