Switch From Negative To Positive

“People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong... Why not see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?”~Thich Nhat Hanh

Is that you? Dealing too much in the negative? Most people like to think that they are positive people but think about it. How much time do you spend thinking about what you have or can do versus thinking about what you DON'T have and what you CAN"T DO???

Our brains naturally go to the negative and it is a trained mind that can flip that switch from the negative to the positive. Is your mind trained? I hope so. Here's the thing...it's kind of like golf, you can never master it and you need to constantly work on it. t's real easy to drift back to the negative without even realizing it.  Are you constantly working on your positive thinking?  

One way to do that is through gratitude. The more you are grateful, the more things you see to be grateful for.  Melody Beattie said "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more." Wow, how powerful is that?!? It turns what we have into enough, and more!! It is the Law of Attraction at work. The more we focus on gratitude, the more things we have to be grateful for. What are you grateful for today?

Are You Dealing In The Positive Or Negative?

How much time do you spend thinking about what you have or can do versus thinking about what you DON'T have and what you CAN"T DO???

Here's the thing...it's kind of like golf, you can never master it and you need to constantly work on it. Are you constantly working on your positive thinking?  Not if you are filling your mind with all the things you DON"T want.  That only gets you more of what you don't want.

There Are No Mistakes!

"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go." ~Richard Bach

Our society has programmed us to believe that mistakes and failures are to be avoided AT ALL COSTS. This is just plain wrong. How will we ever learn and grow if not from our mistakes and failures. I choose to look at failures as feedback, nothing more, nothing less. It is showing me that what I'm doing is not the best way to do whatever it is that I'm doing.  It is a necessary thing we must go through to get to where we want to go.

We have learned to castigate failures, to scorn them, laugh at them, put them down...With these actions tied into failure, it's easy to see why our society tells us to avoid it at all costs. But what if we ALL looked at failure as the feedback that we need to do things better? Now that's not so bad is it.  

Thomas Watson, founder of IBM said that "The fastest way to success is to fail faster." But if we are avoiding failure, then the opportunity for success remains at a distance.

Work on seeing what you might call "failure" as feedback. And see how it affects your frame of mind and thought process.

"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."

Learned Optimism

“Learned optimism is not a rediscovery of the ‘power of positive thinking.’...Changing the destructive thing you say to yourself when you experience the setbacks that life deals all of us is the central skill of optimism.”~Martin Seligman

Have you learned optimism or are you just faking it. Learned optimism is the best thing that you could do for yourself and your self-talk. It is not just the power of positive thinking, it is much deeper than that.

Would you like to change the destructive things you say to yourself? Would you hang around a friend/person who talked to you the way you talk to yourself? Think about that for a minute...Would you? I used to until I realized that I didn't need that kind of self talk and I could change my habits of thinking.

The central skill of optimism (not polly-anna ish thoughts) is changing the destructive things we say to ourselves when things go wrong. Try it sometime and see the difference that it makes.

You can change the habit of your thinking, RIGHT NOW!! DO IT!!!

Experience Excellence

"It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity."~Publilius Syrus

Are you trying to bring excellence to maturity too quickly? Taking short cuts? Don't.

You need to experience things before they can become part of your learning. In today's microwave society, the "I want it now" crowd may get to where they want, but they won't be able to stay there long...

"Amateurs do it until they get it right, while professionals do it until they can't do it wrong."

What a great thought! Don't just work on it until you do it right, but work on it until you can't do it wrong. Are you doing that? Are your skills honed so well that you can't do them wrong? Why not? We are taught to do something until we get it right, not to work on it until we can't get it wrong.

Think about how things would change in your life if you worked on them until you couldn't do them wrong...and go out there today and work on those things that you can until you can't do them wrong.

Fight the microwave society thinking that you must have everything right now. Realize that through delayed gratification, discipline is born and can be allowed to mature.
