A successful person is one who thrives on learning, attempting, and

reaching new goals. A thriving person goes beyond just getting by.

They have an attitude of abundance and are willing to share it. Take a

look at some of the attributes.

1. A strong sense of self and a healthy self-esteem are integral parts

of your personality. The cornerstones of your foundation are integrity,

common sense, willingness to try, and persistence. Skills and talents

are recognized and utilized.

2. Self-improvement is not just a word, it is a lifestyle. You are a

seeker of knowledge of all types. You absorb what you can from any type

of experience. All the senses are used to keep learning and growing.

You think like a reporter asking those famous questions of who, what,

when, why, where, and how. Spend some time to play like a child - just

for the pure pleasure of it. All aspects are needed for a well-balanced

life.

3. You take responsibility and are accountable for your thoughts and

deeds. You refrain from openly blaming others, even if they were the

cause of the problem. Reliability, honesty, and trustworthiness are

what other people come to expect of you; and rarely (if ever) are they

disappointed. You take pride in who you are and what you do.

4. A thriving person seeks challenges partly for the thrill of it but

also because the need to and desire to push the boundaries and not have

limitations is important. What appears to be a risk to an outsider is,

as a rule, a well-thought out action plan. The popular expression today

is to step out-of-the-box.

5. Being creative is critical to the nature of this type of person

because a regular influx of ideas allows him or her to see beyond the

obvious or standard methods. The desire to tweak, manipulate, start

from scratch, and be mind-playful are important to keeping the right

brain happy. It�s a release of energy that provides more energy and

enthusiasm. The imagination fuels originality which contributes to

uniqueness.

6. With a thriving mindset, you are willing to put forth the energy and

effort for the desired effects. You act upon your thoughts rather than

just letting them simmer on the back burner. Getting up in the morning

is fun - you look forward to new opportunities. A feeling of positive

anticipation is the norm rather than the exception.

7. As a successful person, due to the qualities above, you are one who

helps to activate the necessary trigger points for others to join you in

the ranks of happy, well-adjusted folks who enjoy each day as it comes.

As the old saying states: What goes around, comes around. The more you

share, the more you will receive. That�s a win-win.

Living at a top optimum level is a condition that few of us achieve

every day. In reality, it could be exhausting. My guess is that most

people are living a few of the attributes above each day. Those who are

thriving incorporate more of them more frequently - that�s why they are

found in the winners circle.
