Hello Blades, Winston Churchill once said "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." I found this quote extremely interesting and relevant for my life. I'm making this thread to encourage others to remain positive, no matter what their circumstance. There's always hope. I've learned in life that the more positive I am about an outcome, the less it bothers me if it isn't exactly what I expected or wanted... positivity may be the younger sibling of being realistic... but it's also the happier one. Stay positive blades! Life is too good not to. Post any quotes or thoughts on the issue of positivity. Just please, remain courteous and respectful to all posters here. GC has enough threads that turn into bickering about irrelevant fights. This last quote is from one of my favorite people of all time: "Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results." -Willie Nelson. Have a good day Blades.
Believing in pure chance, and remaining positive has changed my life completely into something truly worth-while. I can vouch for this.
Good for you man! Feel free to share details/life experience with this. (Not that you have to, whatever's cool)
I wish staying positive was as easy as it seems, I've been really down a lot lately and I know exactly why but its nothing I can really fix on my own at the moment but I try and remember that being positive is just something I need to do. “ Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again. â€
Good quote man. Keep your head up and stay happy. "Don't take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways."
I'm just happy all of the time, sure stuff get's me down, but for every problem there is always a solution.
It IS something you can fix on your own, you've just got to take control of your life and do whatever is necessary to make it right. And if you really can do nothing to affect it then forget about it, worrying/being negative about it isn't going to do anyone any good either. (actually going to do a lot of harm to yourself." Don't "try", do. Once you eliminate "try" or "do your best" from your vocabulary and replace them with "I will do whatever is necessary to accomplish ______" your life will change completely man, trust me on this one. Being positive isn't "just something you need to do", it's something that needs to be ingrained into your character, so that you do it naturally 24/7/365. You can't just "try" to be positive every time you're faced with what you consider a "negative" circumstance, you have to adopt a positive outlook on life realizing that everything is going to be alright in the end, and that everything happens exactly how it was meant to happen. There is a reason (and yes, opportunity) in every single aspect of your life, you just have to look a little harder for some of them. I'll end with my favorite ghandi quote, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." I do this by not ever giving out advice unless I can look them in the eye and tell them I follow that same advice every day. Otherwise I would be forced to consider myself a hypocrite.
I used to be a pessimist, figuring its better not to be disappointed. I think I'm basically a realist now, positive hopes and neutral expectations. I agree though, it's better for all of us if we put in positivity, as it usually comes back to us when we do (as it does with the negative).
Staying positive is all about The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is one of the laws of the universe, and states that you will attract things into your life simply with the thoughts that you have. By simply thinking positively about something, you will be like a magnet, attracting the things that you want. Its like your thoughts send out certain wavelengths. Negative thoughts attractive negative energies, and positive thoughts attract positive energies. Its the law of attraction. AKA "The secret". Official Web Site of The Secret and The Power
I found your post very well-written and insightful. Thank you very much, +rep to you my friend... not that you need it. Have a good day.
"Choose the positive. - You have choice - you are master of your attitude - choose the POSITIVE, the CONSTRUCTIVE. Optimism is a faith that leads to success. Cease negative mental chattering. - If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed." -Bruce Lee
