Positive Thinking

I can't begin to stress enough how important thinking positive is in life. It is even more important now with all the things going on with the economy. Of course, we know that many people have lost their jobs and had to change their standard of living. I was one of them and I was distraught at first, but then I decided to change my perspective. I decided I would practice trying to be upbeat and thankful for life.

Now I know that changing the way you think may not change the situation right away, however I also know it that wallowing in the negative will never get you to the positive either. In fact, it only makes you feel worse. It also makes other people you are around feel down as well. Negativity is contagious, but positivity can be too.

Now, if you are not normally one of the most positive people don't fret. You can elect to change your way of thinking at anytime. Contrary to belief or the cliche you really can teach an old dog new tricks. The key is that the dog has to be open to learning something new.

Yeah, I know it sounds simple, but you know what I'm learning as I get a little older? I am discovering that many things in life are not as hard as we try to make them be. They really aren't so make an effort to be as positive as possible. You will be surprised at how much better you feel. You may also make someone else feel good too. That could truly make it all worth it. If you stay positive long enough, your circumstances change for the better. Give it a shot.
