always be positive

It's a matter of forming habits, it's my understanding that you have to do something 21 times to form a new habit. That shouldn't be to much to ask if the outcome is something that will make your whole life better.

The problem with negative thinking is that once your thoughts head in that direction the worse they will get and you will more than likely attract what you fear. I admit it is difficult to always have a positive attitude but they way I see it when something bad happens you may as well allow yourself to feel terrible and then make a decision to see the glass half full and hopefully that will be the energy that you will attract.

I sort of am in the middle. I remain neutral so that when something bad happens, I will not be surprised, and when something wonderful happens, I will be so overjoyed that I never really expected that something would happen to be that good. So I keep a happy medium. Because if one is positive, then when something happens that is very disappointing, it hurts even more.

"BE POSITIVE" has been my motto of life for long. I always handle things with this motto as well. Isn't it positive is so much than 'negative'??

I always try to think on the positive side as I believe in my heart that you attract what you give off and feel and I think if you think positive then positive things will come your way the same as you think negative then you will attract negativity!

You are most correct my friend. Most Correct. It is all in how you think. If you are religious think of it this way, negative thoughts go to Satan the Devil, positive thoughts go to GOD. If you are not religious, or believe in something other then Christianity, substitute your believes in the appropriate manner. Thinking good, means good things happen. Thinking bad means bad things happen simple as that. The solution. THINK GOOD. over and over again, and if bad creeps along, take a breath and focus on good. Someone told me also this other thing that helps, not too long ago. They said "Ignorant people talk about people, smart people take about thoughts and ideas" Thinking this way makes things better as well.

This thread reminded me of the movie "Yes", starred by Jim Carrey. Being positive all the time actually helps our confidence and out hopes in life achieve a better stance. It also helps us forfeit our bad moments in a spun of time.

Yes it is wise to aim to always think positive, but as a therapist, I often have people come to see me who have sunk so low, they just cannot see anything other than a black future. It is no good telling them to fight these black moods because they are too deeply ingrained. What my job entails here is to support them in examining these thoughts so that they can be negated - through a therapeutic procedure, these thoughts can be negated. Once they are free of them, they need to create some positive goals in their life - for success is what builds confidence for the next time. - Derek

Hi puneetchokra, I agree with you, it is always best to be positive and it really does work. Negative thoughts are never good and cause us to give up on our dreams and wallow in self pity. Continue to think positive to have a really great life. Blessings.

You are so right on this for I know for the longest time i wasn't always thinking positive and things would just go wrong. I have a good friend who has been there through the thick and thin for me and he has told me to stay strong and always think positive. I have learned to listened to what he has told me and since I have I have seen a better out look on things. I thank him for his encourageing words and talk him and I had he is a friend I shall never forget.

i don't believe that thinking positive ends up the way we thought of. i am saying this because i hold something that made me realize that thinking positive is not always the best way to keep our minds from the negative thoughts. i want to embrace all the positive possibilities but having that dilemma...how could i had thought of the positive? i wasn't prepared at all!

Yes being positive will give you hope and smiles while being negative would bring you frustration and may ended you up in vain. By being positive you'll feel relaxed while being negative would make you doubtful ending up in a false conclusion. If you're a positive thinker you find ways of turning negative things into positive thus you learn to think well and you're inspired of doing everything to get positive results.

I agree that positive thoughts and positive actions create positive results. Things may not always be 100% the way that you want them to be but everything is relative and if you see the glass as half full you will be happier in life.

Thinking positive is the best advice that all the self-improvement and self-help experts give. It is rightly said that these two words have great power hidden in themselves. You can feel the power of these words only when you practice. These are great healers. Practice positive thinking and you can overcome any negative or troublesome situation. You can find negative or positive in anything. Try to see the positive side always and be happy.

I really your attitude for always being positive about life, you don't only help yourself but as well as other people who are depressed.

Yup, I agree that the power of positive thinking brings more benefits to people than just by merely engaging in negative ones. This is equivalent to catastrophizing, and it does not bring goodwill or positive benefit to the ones concerned. Dwelling on negative thinking is not good for one's mental health, it adds to the already problematic world. So let's think positive and make the world a better place to live.

That's what I always tell to people. I am a positive thinker and I believe that there is a solution for every problem. I hate it when I meet people who are negative thinkers and will convince you to be with them. No way, it will break my senses.

i totally agree with you. positivity iS like magic. i've always been pretty positive in most situations & everyday is like a brand new day to me :)

In my life, I've always think positive. Positive thinker are very important even though you make a difficult situation, so think positive only not a negative. By the power of yourselves you must have the attitudes of positive thinker, If you've always make it, I know you are the person who successful in life. So think positive always..:(

once i want something or i decide something im i just think for a positive result
