A positive attitude is a state of mind that focuses on the good and potential in things, situations and people. This can be contrasted with a negative attitude that views things in a cynical, pessimistic or generally unfavorable light. A positive attitude tends to be more productive. In fact, it is often possible to deal with negative people, situations and environments with a positive attitude. For example, dealing with unfair criticism in a gracious and confident way as opposed to lashing out. The following are common examples of positive attitudes.
Accepting | Adaptable | Admiring | Adoring | Adventurous | Affable | Affectionate | Ambitious | Approachable | Attentive | Brave | Calm | Captivated | Careful | Caring | Cheerful | Collaborative | Compassionate | Confident | Conscientious | Considerate | Contemplative | Cooperative | Creative | Determined | Devoted | Dignified | Diligent | Earnest | Easygoing | Energetic | Engaged | Enthralled | Fearless | Flexible | Focused | Forgiving | Friendly | Generous | Good-humored | Grateful | Hardworking | Helpful | Hopeful | Imaginative | Independent | Inspired | Interested | Introspective | Kind | Loving | Meditative | Open | Optimistic | Patient | Peaceful | Pensive | Playful | Pragmatic | Receptive | Reflective | Relaxed | Resolute | Resourceful | Responsive | Sane | Sensible | Serene | Sincere | Social | Spirited | Thoughtful | Tireless | Tolerant | Trusting | Unassuming | Understanding | Unshakeable | Warm | Whimsical |
A positive attitude should not be confused with compliance to a particular environment or activity. For example, someone who is in a playful mood who intelligently ignores some drab and uninspiring lesson but is nonetheless in a positive frame of mind.Positive attitudes can produce negative behaviors. For example, confidence that extends into overconfident, delusional or arrogant behavior.
A positive attitude doesn't imply that an individual is social, engaged and talkative. For example, creative quiet reflection is a fully positive type of attitude.
