Staying Positive!



“Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.”

– Allen Klein


Traits of People with a Positive Attitude

1. A positive attitude is mental outlook of optimism and of expecting good things to happen. People who possess this attitude are easier to get along with, are happy, and they spread joy around them.
2. A person with a positive state of mind does not dwell on the problems and difficulties of the past, and does not let them dictate his or her life. Such a person would rather learn from past mistakes and move on.
3. A positive attitude can affect your life favorably in all areas. People with a positive outlook, view life, challenges, and the situations they go through, with confidence and are sure they can deal with them.
4. These people would not be stuck in a negative attitude of fear, lack of self-esteem and passivity. People with a positive attitude will not let failure or obstacles stand in their way, and will always try to find ways to overcome them.


Qualities of People with a Positive Attitude

You start by dumping your negative thoughts. Do you often think about failure, and how bad your life is? You need to stop doing this. These thoughts perpetuate the negative situations.

When negative thoughts dominate your mind, you do not seek solutions and progress. You just see the negative and expect it. This affects your thinking and your actions, and unconsciously, makes you choose bad choices.

You need to refuse to think these thoughts and substitute them with positive thoughts about success and happiness.

This might be difficult in the beginning, but with persistence, you will be able to change how you think.
Is positive attitude a part of your life, or do you let a negative attitude win? You can test yourself to find out.

Try to remember what kind of thoughts you had in the past 24 hours and write them down. Make two lists, one to include your negative thoughts, and another list, where you will write down your positive thoughts. Then, compare the two lists. Which one is longer?

Are all these negative thoughts worthwhile? Do you need them? Isn’t it better to get rid of them, and to substitute them with thoughts from your positive thinking list?
Continue doing so for a week, or for two weeks, and you will begin to see how your positive attitude is improving.

What is the meaning of Positive Attitude - Definitions

Image
You have probably heard the following words many times, “you should have a positive attitude…” Have wondered what is the meaning of these words? Have you wondered why positive attitude matters? In this post, I would like to offer a few explanations and definitions about the meaning of positive attitude. When do people tell you that you need to dump your negative attitude and adopt a positive one? They tell you that when you are negative, expect failure, and doubt your abilities. They try to encourage you to be positive, and want you have more confidence and belief in yourself. A positive attitude is essential to happiness, joy, and progress in life. This state of mind brings light, hope and enthusiasm into the life of those who possess it. Adopting it in your life does not mean that everything will always move smoothly and there will be no bumps on the road. However, it ensures that any setback you might encounter will not stop you or change your state of mind, a

The Joys of Sisterhood and Motherhood...

Image
Sisterhood is one experience I thank God for all the time...it's simply the best experience one could have growing up. My life as a little girl was wonderful because I had five amazing girls to share it with. Oh, how I remember when we all eat in a tray and mark territories inside the tray; when we would exchange meat for the other persons egg or fish; how we would create amazing but foolish games and feel so happy about it; or the times when we take turns to wash the dishes that heaped like mountains; when we'll sing together under the trees at night with our beautiful voices (minus Eva, she sounds like a male frog when she sings); playing under the rain (yes oh...I'm not ashamed); acting storyless dramas that'll always end in a fight; when you borrow and share dresses and shoes...Oh! I miss some of these moments  Not forgetting my little brothers, they are my everything. Sisterhood extends to them too. Whenever I see them, my heart is filled with joy and happin

Finding Your Center

Image
For a long time, I have been unable to do some certain things. I thought it was normal I'll get back to myself in no time. But i noticed i was becoming worse, I'd start things and not finish them, procrastinate some of them I'm yet to start. I was becoming disorganised!!! After a couple of weeks, I still hadn't noticed what was happening to me until just recently I realised I had been lost. I was empty. It felt okay at first but when I began to put some pieces together, I realised I had lost my center. Losing something is so easy, the hard thing is getting it back. And one worse thing is when you don't know exactly what's missing. Getting it back is one very difficult task because you don't know where to start from, you just know something's missing and you need to find it. What is one's center? It is a place where essence is drawn from. When I realised what exactly I lost, i was stuck. No one understood what was wrong but then I set out to fix my
