Positive Thinking as the Key to Success

 

Anyone who has ever actively pursued a goal knows that it isn’t always easy.. An optimistic attitude will go a long way towards ensuring that the goals you set out to meet are actually met.

Have you ever known someone that has dreams, desires and aspirations but every time they mention them, they immediately put it down in the same breath? 

 After a while you stop believing that person will ever pursue those dreams and when they’re mentioned, you may not even pay much attention to what’s being said. Eventually you might even dismiss that person as someone who talks but never executes anything. Imagine if you were that person? Imagine how it would feel if you were filled with dreams, desires
and aspirations but you never actually followed through on anything? You would eventually stop dreaming.

That is not the way to go. You should never stop dreaming. You should
never stop pursuing your goals. While it’s imperative that you act on your
dreams and aspirations, it’s even more imperative that you adopt a positive
attitude about your actions.  

Positive thinking is the best way for you to
internally support yourself as you pursue your dreams. You may think that
positive thinking is easy and just requires that you don’t focus on the
negative aspects of things. Unfortunately it’s not always that easy.

 When you’re in a moment of frustration where it feels like everything is falling
apart around you, not focusing on the negative can be a challenge. It can
even be a challenge to focus on the positive when things are going well.
Positive thinking must be done consistently so that it becomes a habit.

 "Positive Thinking as the key to Success" There are some tools and case studies you can use to incorporate positive thinking into your everyday life and work to make it a habit.

"The only thing that stands between a person and what they
want from life is often merely the will to TRY it and the
faith to BELIEVE that it is possible."- Anthony Robbins

Make each moment count.

It is not the quantity in your life that matters, but the quality that you experience during each moment.

We live in an age of quantity. The media shapes us with the idea that larger and faster means better. We are told that we need to find more time, own more possessions, and have more love to be truly happy, however, a smaller quantity of anything that is high in quality will almost always be more satisfying. A single piece of our favorite chocolate or a thin spread of freshly made preserves can satisfy us more than a full bucket of a product that we aren’t very fond of.  It is not the quantity of time that matters, but the quality that you experience during each moment. Every minute is an opportunity to love yourself and others, develop confidence and self-respect, and exhibit courage.




Ultimately, quality can make life sweeter. When you focus on quality, all your life experiences can be meaningful. A modest portion of good, healthy food can nourish and satisfy you on multiple levels. Likewise, a few hours of deep, restful slumber will leave you feeling more refreshed than a night’s worth of frequently interrupted sleep. A few minutes spent with a loved one catching up on the important details about family, work, or community can carry more meaning than two hours spent watching television together.

Often, in the pursuit of quantity we cheat ourselves of quality. Then again, quantity also plays a significant role in our lives. Certain elements, such as hugs, kisses, abundance, and love, are best had in copious amounts that are high in quality. But faced with the choice between a single, heartfelt grin and a lifetime of empty smiles, most would, no doubt, choose the former. 

Ultimately, it is not how much you live or have or do but what you make of each moment that counts.
