If you want to be empowered—both in yourself and in your life—you need to develop a winner’s attitude. These seven golden rules will help you achieve it.

Have you ever looked back on a difficult time and realised that something good came out of it?  As a positive thinker, you’ll always find something good in the bad and positive in the negative—even if it isn’t one hundred percent obvious at the time!

No such thing as a mistake?  I bet you’re thinking, Yeah, right! I am willing to bet that the thought which flashed through your mind featured the Biggest Mistake of All Time.
