Hello everyone here Ji,
A few days back, I was with my friend, who brought out her bright idea explaning me how to convert 'Negatives' into positives. I would like to share and invite you to make few research with your comments.
[b]"Let's examine how my friend thinks about word 'IMPOSSIBLE' She takes it as
'I M POSSIBLE' instead of 'IMPOSSIBLE'
Simmilarly for word 'NO-WHERE' , She thinks to make it , ' NOW HERE'".[/b]
In both abve examples a negative sense of feeling has been converted into positive thinking, So why not think about some more negatives and convert and adopt into our life. Please do think some more and let's share them here.
May God bless You and have a great time.

I am normally a very positive person but not today. I can't seem to pull out of this negative funk. My car overheated on the way home from work late last night. I believe I have a blown head gasket. I have no money to get it fixed, I work out of town and sure can't afford to miss even a day's work. I leave to work at 2pm and that is an odd hour to find a ride and especially to the little town that I need to go to. Even worse is finding a ride home at night. I can't even afford to pay someone to truck me back and forth daily. Still have stuff to get for our christmas get together which is also out of town. How would you turn this into a positive? I really just am not feeling it right now.

Ok it has been 13 hours since I responded here. I have to tell you that I kept talking myself down from getting too worked up over this...telling myself this would all work out one way or another and I'd live to tell the tale....always do. Well, things may not be as bleak as they initially appeared....I won't know till tomorrow morning. I did find another possible problem and possible easy fix here and I am praying that is what it is. I have a very good friend who transported me today and he is coming by in the morning to help me see if maybe I lucked out. I'll let you know tomorrow. Until then, I'm not going to let this get to me.

Hello friend. If we think of things from a different angle, namely from the negatives to positives, then we will be able to see more of the good sides. Hence bad things can turn into good things.

Taking things ina positive way needs practice and patience. It is very easy to quote that "take thinkgs in a positive stride" because one's attitude towards life vastly depends on the environment they have grown up.
Changing one's attitude and installing such good values in our kids is the key. Well i can't think of a positive/negative thought right now, but i can say that thinking positive does really bring positive changes in our lives :)

Hello my friend divkris Ji,
So nice of you for your expressios. I would now sep out and bring you following, whta I had discussed earlier about 'POSITIVE TINKING' :-
[b]"WHY TO BE POSITIVE/THINK POSTIVE/DREAM POSITIVE./SoP
It has been established beyond doubts that, by way of living positive, it strengthens to face challenges in the life easily , but has any of us thought about each word meaning in its real senses, which are combination of ‘P O S I T I V E ‘ Let us define each word meaning and apply on-self.
P------IS FOR PATIENCE , If one wants to make success in life, must have patience, people with patience do not think negatively and they find out some solution to their problems. They do not cry in adverse condition and come out in flying colors.
O------IS FOR OPTEMESTIC means there is a always ray of hope in the life. So do not part away with hope. Do not blame fate and loose hope. Keep morale high full of expectations, and everyone is fed up with me. Under these circumstances, try to be hopeful.
S------IS FOR SATISFACTION, people never get satisfied with lust in life. But they day one feels ‘satisfied’, thinking will automatically be converted into positive thinking. For this , on should look down, you will feel you are better and satisfied than those, who even do not get that much. Non-satisfaction leads to depression, so whatever, you have got and achieved , get satisfied with that.
I------IS FOR INSPIRATION, one must get inspiration from their ‘Ideals/Examples/Gurus/Leaders etc’ . There are born living characters around, take their examples of living. How they come out from problems and live happily. Every body has something hidden/exposed goodness, follow them. Leave their bad aspects. One will become positive.
T------IS FOR TARGET, if you keep your goal/aim clear in front of you in your life, you will never face defeat. What you want to do and how would you achieve your goal, keep and make it to yourself very clear. Once aim is clear, it can be easily obtained. Even, if it is not reached , keep something to replace the same. You will not feel guilty.
I------IS FOR IDEALS, make your personality such that people around you should have blind belief and start following you, you should be ideal for them. By being positive, you can always remain balanced in your thinking, remain always happy, ready to help others, others will follow you. Once you make and foolow your ideals, why do’t you become ideal for others.
V-----IS FOR VICTOR, one should always known for winning and not for loosing, for this one has to keep himself under high spirit. After you get and face defeat, you should re-start your aim once more with double your strength and capacity. One must agree real aspect in life that ‘Victory and defeat’ are two faces of same coin. Do’t loose heart after defeat, remember that dawn will come, success is sure to come and greet you.
E-----IS FOR EASY, In easy life there is no room for negative thinking at all.. If you lead real life in real sense, you will never face any problems In professionalism, easiness must.
Have a good day "[/b]
May God bless You and have a great time.

Hello Ji,There is little difference in people,but that little difference makes a big difference.the little difference is attitude.The big difference is whether it is Positive or Negative.
It depends on ones principles and the up and downs he has gone through his life so the one who wins all the time would be really happy being positive but the real challenge would be for those who keep on failing and try to take those failures positively coz "Failures are the Stepping Stones for Success".gud day.

Hello my friend sunnycool Ji,
So nice of you for your supporting expressions I further believe those who fall have chances for getting up and raise to new heights in their life. Life is full of challanges. One should always learn this. We all should keep trying to remaincalm and quite so that we can think of positive ways in our life.So let's try. May God bless You and have a great time.

Well, in my previous job we had to do that often. Explain a negative thing but using positive words. Is not as easy as it might happen. For example, not saying "that's not possible" but "let's see other possibilities to solve your issue". It always makes the other party feel better, instead of using the word NO too much.

Hello my friend madteaparty Ji,
So nice of you for supporting and encouraging response. I would site an example fromSwami Vivekananda's knowledge. He would never stop a child from climbing a ladder without support. He will never say, "DO NOT CLIMB", he will always say, "IF YOU CLIMB WITHOUT SUPPORT, YOU ARE LIKELY TO DROP AND HURT". Meaning is same but negative thinking has been avoided.
May God bless You and have a great time.

I like your friends thinking. Its hard to convert negatives into positives though. It does take some thinking and I guess if you focus on doing that then the negative will disappear. I'll just read the thread to see what else is listed. I don't have any of my own right now.

there is no such thing as a negative, people who think of negatives are putting excuses in place to fail.
I have been in sales and mlm since I was 20 ish and the people who fail in these types of programmes are the ones who have negatives in there I have loads like that in my downlines.
The glass is half empty no it isn't its half full.
Why do you have eyes in the front of your head, because never look back. Tomorrow is another day.
Etc Etc.
Nothing is impossible and everything is possible with a bit of positive mental attitude and a desire to win win win.

Hello my friend benny128 Ji,
Wow! You seems to be one step ahead and I am sure, you have achieved your task gracefully by fighting for your rights. It is very true that people who can not do right blame others for their own reverses. I like all examples sited by you. One should always say, 'Glass is half full'. God has provided our eyes facin forward so why to look back in our life at all. You are great. So nice of you for immediate response and pulling further string.
May God bless You and have a great time.

What a lovely challenge and very creative. Hm, I need to put on my thinking cap.
Sayings I have always remembered:
If you think you can't or you think you CAN, you're right. (our thinking often determines our outcomes)
"It does not matter how many times you fall. What matters is how many times you get back up."
"You're never to old to learn something new."
"Where there is life, there is hope."
"Failure is success turned inside out."
There was once an old donkey who fell into a deep well. Since the donkey was old and had fallen so far, rather than going to the trouble of finding a way to rescue him, the donkey's owner call together a few friends who brought with them shovels. These men proceded to fill the well with dirt and bury the braying donkey alive.
When the first shovel full of dirt hit him, the surprised donkey stopped his braying, and shook the dirt off his back. As shovel after shovel of dirt landed on him, the donkey just shook it off. But soon, the dirt beneath his feet began to rise. Eventually, he had shaken off enough dirt, and was able to use it to rise to the top and walk from within the well.
A good lessen can be learned from the donkey who would not be deterred. He turned a negative into a positive by throwing off the dirt and use it instead as a stepping stone to life.
God bless you!

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji,
So nice of you for accepting my ways and showing me the way donkey remained calm and quite and saved it's life. It is a very good lesson. There are many such hidden ispiring lessons in a poetry by Jhon Milton entitled 'ALLERGO AND ILL-PENSESRO'. Evenafter reading in 1968, I never forget.
May God bless You and have a great time.
