Being positive!

Yesterday I made a discussion called "What do you think is the right attitude to be sucessful in life?". Many people responded me that being positive is of the first things I should be. But The point is, I try, but I can't get anything. When I'm being positive, I always, always find the negative side of the things, they just come to my mind, I can't avoid it! How you think I can be more positive and avoid those negative and pessimistic thoughts? There's a way? Help!

There's a big difference between being optimistic and having 'misty optics'. A good judge of a situation will see both the positive and negative sides but will also be able to see how the positive aspects can be used and how the negative aspects can be minimised and, sometimes, turned around to be an advantage. To train your mind to concentrate on the positive values, first learn to classify things as positive or negative. The more you do this listing of things as 'pro's and 'con's, the better you will be able to make positive decisions or take positive action based on your evaluation. A decision NOT to do something, based on a conscious and balanced evaluation of 'pro's and 'con's can be just as positive an action as a considered decision to do something.

We often hear the advice to think positive. If your face to express concern, already an encouraging benevolent will tell you: "Hey, think positive, everything will be fine!" How to think positively? How to keep my tone better mentally? How to find the strength to see the glass half full? How to replace a negative with positive thinking? How can I prepare for a completely changed life, a life where the overflow of energy and harmony and orientation towards positive things to prevail? The first step in helping to get your positive thinking is so preparing a list of all those things that you bring / take energy and to draw up an action plan for each item separately. Good mood. Optimism. Creativity. Tolerance. Love. Caring, compassionate. Patience. Goodwill. Light. Fun. Color. I'm just nice words for some. If we have enough energy, however it is easy to manifest. The second step is to reduce the time that allows the mind to roam at random, without a goal challenging, exciting, real and concrete. Chance can not be said that the world can not control the atmosphere, but that in mind, YES!

Yup always think positive instead of negative like for me when I am driving I only think positive thoughts so that I can be better at it and so far it is working. Thinking positive is a big help. It will help you be successful in life it has been working out for me so far because I only want to think positive the mind really is strong because if you keep thinking oh I am going to fail the test or oh I am going to crash the car than it most likely will happen.

maybe you should try being positive little by little. start it in a small things, anything that you can think of, like having a wonderful day or having a nice lunch or dinner, or having a nice message from your loved ones. anything that you can start being positive with. and always pray that God will guide you through positive outcomes =)

Being Positive is a good thing but sometimes always will happened as negative. In my life too i feel that, i always as positive thinker but always will happened as opposite to my thought. Sometime i have a feel of hate myself but after within a minute console myself and be positive always....

Continual trying and knowing that although you were on a positive side of things and perhaps the negative kicked in that you know you did your best and will not give up and keep trying. Continuing to try means there is positivity set forth. Knowing when to stop means you did your best and know willing to do something else.

As it is said there are two sides on a dime. I let my negative thoughts come through and I acknowledge them. After I've done it I always try to turn them into positive thoughts. Every negative situation is there to be converted into a positive situation. You have to know and experience failure to confirm your success.

Your attitude has major effects on your life...if you have a negative attitude things will appear to turn out negative because of how you feel and it will be the same way if you think positive. If things are on the down side you should try to stay up because things will get better. If you think good things about yourself you will be a good person and people will see you for this good person. if you look good smell good then you feel good and if you feel good you produce good
