People can never deny the power of positive thinking. It affects our attitude towards life a lot. It is just a way of thinking that people have to maintain themselves. Positive thinking increases self confidence of a person, removes all the negative thinking that a person bears in his or her mind. It shows them a new direction and ultimately leads them to success. We know it, however it is not easy to do? How about you? Are you a person of positive thinking? How do you do that?

To reach our goals and aspirations in life, we have to be positive thinker at all times. Thats another key to success! :)

I try to think positive all the time even when things are going wrong. It is so difficult at times for me like now but all I can do is keep moving on. And always think of everything will get better with time. I like to be happy all the time even when I am frustrated or things or just not going right I always look at the positive.

Usually, when I encounter problems, I will ask myself "What is the worst thing that can happen?" Most of the time, I found that there is really nothing to worry about and will thereafter channel my energy to elsewhere. So, I don't really engage in positive thinking, but rather, I analyze the situation and from there deduce the best way to face and handle a problem. Oftentimes, it is easier said than done to be positive, when you find yourself in a situation where everything around you seems so negative. Do you think it'll be easy to be positive when you are in the midst of a war, with bloodshed all around you, and separated from your family? Do you think it'll be easy to remain positive when every business venture you partake in seem to bear no fruits at all? It will be very hard indeed.

That is keeping away from depression and keeping sanity in place. I always look for a reason or maybe a lesson to anything. Failure is not an option (according to apollo). It is plainly an outcome and something we could do something about.

Everyone must keep an optimistic state of mind!I'm try to do that.To be honest,I used to think of things with some pessimism,and then, I read some books about psychology.Indeed,it helped me a lot.Many things are not complicted,they could become much simpler if we treat them at a positive attitude.This may be difficult, but we must learn to do it,for our life will become beautilul

I'm usually a positive thinker however I know that the majority are not. I will someone blow up on the littlest things and then act like it's normal to be like that. Keeping yourself in composure is hard at times, especially if there's so much to do. I find that keeping neutral is better. It doesn't take sides and because there are a lot of positive thinkers, the negative thinkers hate that. Unless, I know it's about myself I'm improving, I'll keep it to myself as no one wants to hear about how great life is from you all the time. It's enjoying the moment and spinning it around as well.

I am, I am a person of positive thinking. I don't do so much thing but being myself and give trust to people and less my own expectation to the things around. Being surprised is better than disappointed because of too much expectation. Anyway Negative thinking also gives a lot of benefits. Many may say that the megative thinking is like an ill that gives sickness to the mind. But don't you think that negative thinking gives more cautions to beware the dangers to you? The person who has negative thinking will do thing better because they don't think it's good enough. They won't believe or trust bad guys easily, compared with the positive ones. They are more alert than the positive one, the positive one mostly take things easier that's why they're not so much alert. The positive thinking always come to the result of "anything, anywhere, 'sup to you, it's okay, it's all right, maybe nothing goes wrong etc." while the negative one will find the exact solution for the problems. However, I don't think people do have only one side of thinking but together positive and negative. Being moderate between two is the best for the life. It depends on how you will take the advantage of both thinking and use it the best fit to your life.

hi there! you are right. being positive thinker can make your life easier, your problems seem easier to solve. it is not easy though for everyone especially those that have experienced several catastrophe and problems in life. but the most powerful way to have a positive thinking is to let all your problems and hope lay to God's hand. He knows what is best for us and He will never give us trials which we can not handle. all in His faith and glory is all we need in life to make us keep going and living.

Positive thinking really helps people be more productive and successful. There's really not so much that you can benefit from negative thinking.. it only gives you a lot of what ifs and you won't really know what's in store for you until you give it a try. As for me, they say Im the type of person who don't get easily affected by problems. Not that I'm insensitive or I care less of what's happening around me. I just don't let myself get too absorbed on the not so good things. I try to focus on happy things and the many blessings that I have in life. They say that what you think or have in your mind influences your personality, your actions and the way others perceive you. And the only way to have a great life is to think positive and have fun. Life is beautiful. ;D

Yeah! Positive thinking can be hard to do at some times, but when you do, especially in a hard-to-do situation, it makes your life so much more fun, brighter and more easier to endure that situation or life. I love to think positively but sometimes the situation is too serious to do so, if you know what I mean. Anyways, the main point is yeah, fosho positive thinking makes your life better.
