I hear it all the time - Positive people attract positive people - it's the law of attraction and it can be worked to your benefit. Just like misery loves company - if you are upbeat and happy then others will be the same way.

I think so, positive thinking helps. But honestly it`s difficult to think positively when you are in a disappointing situation.

It does. There is nothing wrong with having hope for the future. And I find that when I have hope and a positive attitude, in bad situations, I get really motivated to turn them around and do a 180. Like having an overwhelming amount of credit card debt. When you have a negative attitude, I can see you only paying the minimum payment and feeling overwhelmed. But when you have a positive attitude.... I feel like that's one step closer to creating a plan and getting out of debt! I think with a lot of struggles in life, attitude (and faith in oneself) is 90% of the issue.

hello there imwithimran, with reference to your main topic, well, it is indeed really helpful if you will think in a positive manner. hence, this will invite positive energy to stay within. aside from that, you will also feel ease since the positive energy is within your body, mind and spirit. as an effect, this will help you to make your living easier. on the other hand, it is normal to feel low sometimes, but, don't dwell too much on the negative side, hence, in every negative situation, a hundred fold of positive outcome is at hand, you just need to think positively and it will really come in to your life.

I'm not perfect at all. There are times especially when I'm at my lowest point I think of negative thoughts. I do believe that "You are what you think" If you think negatively then, negative actions will happen but if you think positively the positive reaction will happen. To sum up all, No mater what happen Just always think positive even if what lies is the negative results. I can still recall when I feel so hopeless about the examination I took, I'm not sure with my answer but then a friend of mine told me Just think positively even if we are doubtful with the exam. fast-forward, I passed the exam.

It's not the positive way of thinking that helps in times of trouble/life but the positive attitude. Just thinking won't help anyone. There is nothing wrong with being sad, feeling down or so, but at a certain point you have to admit it's time to go on and make the best out of your life you can. I don't think positive thinking will make your life easier, it will only make you look for, each time again, a lower life standard to keep yourself satisfied. It won't turn you into a fighter and survivor or a succesful person.

I agree, but positive thinking really helps to make our self calm and quit, even positive attitude do the same as you said it allow us to admit certain things which are not in our favour

I have not been positive with my life at every moment. It is normal to have initial negative reaction to negative events in one's life, it is perhaps the more natural reaction. But I have learned to move on with a positive attitude until it becomes habitual. The habit of positive thinking and related attitude always have good physical, psychological and emotional effect and even favorably influence circumstances as well as other persons in a favorable way. I rather focus on the things I want to have and experience rather than on what I don't like and detest. The over-all effect is a sense of well-being and peace.

Today there are plenty of self-help books and comments about the positive thinking. For many people this is a boring topic but I think that we all need this. I do believe that the positive attitude can help us to resolve our problems and I'll give an example. Last week we had a big trouble with the new computer system in my work. The system went down and we had to switch instantly to the old way of working. This means a lot of stress and people get angry which doesn't help. I had to do something with a co-worker which is very nervous all the time. I decided to go positive and if you know her, you'll admit that I did a miracle. I reassured her, even made her laugh and everything went smooth. This is just one little story but with this attitude you could make great things in your life.

Hello there imwithirman, Another great topic i see, well most of my life ive been a pessimist and i always blame others for my mistakes but now i am starting a new leaf on life and i am following the positive way, because this is the only way to live. The world is already automatically negative and lazy so why not be positive and happy right!

Hi, I am doing it again. Apparently my first post did not go through- connection/server problem.. I once read how negative thoughts are very powerful that if we only know how totally powerful they are, we won't be entertaining them. Ever. My original post was longer than this but heck, my fingers are almost tired so I think this will do. Positive and Happy thoughts, let those roam around the world more frequently and freely!

Yes of course being positive will make our life easier. Positive thinking attracts positive things in life. I believe in the law of attraction. I think that works for me. I don't about other people, but i believe in it. It may not be easy for other people but i hope it also does work for them.
