positivity is a wonder drug!

I agree that having a positive attitude can cause miraculous things to happen in your life. I use to think that it was good luck when great things happened but when I play the day back in mind, my day happened just as I thought it would, which made me wonder was it this form of positive thinking that cause my streak of good luck. As I practiced holding on to positive thoughts more positive things happened in my life. So in my opinion positive thinking is necessary for everyday living.

i would have to agree. looking at the glass half full always bring good vibes. it doesn't weigh you down when making choices and just how you see life becomes very different.

You know when I was younger i used to hear a lot of seminars about positive thinking,however it didn't sink in on me then. As I grew older and survived a lot of trials in my life, i have learned by practice that thinking positively could be the only choice left when confronted with a challenge.I guess it also goes hand in hand with our faith, where we are sure that somebody up there hears our prayers and we are so positive that He will always lift us up over any challenge that threatens us.

It is, indeed, and one that you can't have an overdose on! It can't be helped to have negative thoughts once in a while, but, as much as I can, I try to be positive minded about things.

i agree with that. you are what you think. that when you feel down, all you have to do is to think that something good might happen, you never notice as time passed by all positive things you thought might come into a reality. positive thinking will give you positive result. You just have faith and trust in yourself and in God.

Positive thoughts attracts positive things.We are like magnet- like attracts like. You become and attract what you think.This is called the Law of Attraction. If we believe in something then we have a motivation to achieve that thing. Though it is normal for a person to be pessimistic at times especially when we feel hopeless. If you have been exhibiting a negative attitude, it is now time to change the way you think...start controlling your thoughts now because a positive attitude leads to success and happiness and could change your whole life.

It surely is virtuous thinking about the good things of everything around. But it really is a hard thing. How could anyone be positive in outlook in all phases of life.

Patricia Neal was quite a lady. Have you ever read her Bio? She had a stroke and came full circle back to acting again. She would have to be very positive to get through it all. I think she had some disease when she was young too. Don't remember. But as far as I am concerned I am very negative. I freak and go to the most negative thing I can think of immediately. Bad CE! Bad!

I believe that one can fill their mind with positive energy and still "be in reality." It's not about only seeing the good, but rather about accepting things for what they may be. I don't believe that having a good attitude helps boost our ego. I don't believe that the ego is a thing that should be boosted.

Hi chiyosan, You are absolutely correct. The root cause of many failure cases is negative approach. They are pre occupied that nothing would go their way and as they thing the same happens. If one feels that he/she can he/she would do it and become successful too. Positive outlook is the key to success. Of course sometime we feel too low and depressed. In such cases we need to give ourselves a break and think the positive side of the disturbing thing.

As much as possible I think positive thoughts along with wearing a smile in my face. I try to laugh heartily every day. However there are moments when negative thoughts come to be acknowledge to be turned into positive thoughts. Good energies are good health.

Yeah I think your absolutely right!We can do anything if we put our minds to it.I try my best to remain positive,and my hopes can fly out of control in seconds,but I think we should be positive but remain in reality.......though I prefer idealism=P Its more motivating.Good attitude is one of the keys to accomplishment.

Mind is the best weapon! i really believe in this positive thing, the world it's how we see it, in a shiny light or in a dark cloud. I believe also all human flaws and illnesses are the result of a negative mind and negative emotions. some time i have trouble in maintain a positive state of mind but i try everyday to be better :)
