Have pride in yourself. Â This is something that’s really important. Â
When I was traveling throughout Europe, I realized that at every place I sat down to eat — whether it was take away or sit down — every single person who served me food had pride in their job. Â They really did. Â
They had real pride in their job. Â They got the crumbs off the table. The food preparation was really good. Â They were very friendly and made sure we had a good time even though we didn’t speak the same language.
Pride is about success. In order to become a successful person, you need to have pride in everything you do. Â
If right now you’re just starting out in your career and you don’t really like your job, you still need to be the best entry level person you possibly can be. Â If you’re a law clerk or an intern, you’ve got to be the best law clerk or intern you can possibly be. Â
If you are at a point in your career where you’re not really happy, then you need to go find something that will make you happy. No matter what you choose to do, though, you must strive to be the best at it and have pride in your work every single day.
Doing this will give you so much more success down the line. Too many people just don’t care, and they have a “don’t care” attitude to go it.
How many times have you walked into a restaurant and were waited on by a waiter who was having a bad day and not doing much to hide it? He (or she) made you feel like garbage just because you sat down in his section and ate the food there.
I’m tired of that stuff. It’s about having pride. Â
You should treat everyone you meet the way that you want to be treated. You should make everybody feel wonderful. Â
When you’re out and about, if you’re in a bad mood then don’t share it with the world. Even better, just stay home.
I tell people that all the time, because the law of attraction works in very interesting and unique ways. Â When you’re attractive, people become attracted to you.
So have pride in your work. Have pride in yourself.

Pride totally attracts, I felt that same way when I went to Italy last summer. People were super nice. And that really makes a difference, because now whenever I go back to Europe I would totally go back to Italy again.

David you have made me a believer in the law of attraction, especially when I have experienced first hand about few months back, I wonder why I didn’t learn this simple truth before.

I’m a big believer in this philosophy of doing the best I can no matter what circumstances are. It has certainly paid off in my life especially growing up in a poor family. I never let mp past dictate my life, and made up my mind that some day I will have enough money, and when that day finally came, it brought tears down my eyes. So to every blog reader today, take my words this pride thing totally works!!!
PS. I love the variety in the daily blog.

that’s right! Thanks David for a very simple, powerful message. Have Pride.
And about what Rick said, I believe in the law of attraction because of your teachings. It is true; you attract who you are. I see it come true in my life.

I think this is a very powerful concept. And I am not sure whether this is a european thing, as you say, David. I think being proud of what you are doing, and doing things consciously – even if it is something you dislike – puts so much more positive power in what you do that people get attracted to you automatically and things just ‘flow’.
I recently had this ‘flow’ experience doing things in business I normally dislike. We were having meetings all day and I HATE meetings. But doing the thing very consciously and being in the moment, I could make the most out of it. AND, the plus benefit is, I was not tired after all later on. Doing things in the moment, being fully present and surrendering to the moment does NOT make you tired. Now isn’t that worth a try?

it’s an universal law: “giving equals receiving.” you get what you give. so if you want positive things to come to you, then you give out positive things to others first. ;D

Its very true. If you put some effort in your appearance and have a positive outlook, people find you more approachable.

Karen–thanks for sharing..I loved what you wrote. Not only does it take pride and determination but belief in yourself. That rings true with everything in life, especially dating. When you believe in yourself and feel that you deserve success (whether it be in dating, relationships, career, etc.) then you WILL achieve it!

Markus,
I loved what you had to say. I’ll add this… when you are in the present moment, time just flies.
I still can’t believe we are at the end of the year already

The new year is a perfect time for change and self improvement. Make 2010 the year that you attract the life you deserve. Let positive thoughts lead to productive actions and then to the perfect life!
