Today is Positive Thinking Day......not that it means a whole lot in the realm of holiday importance, but it can serve as a reminder to us all to avoid negativity whenever possible.
With everything that we've all have been through, I know how difficult it is for a person to keep their spirits up and not get overwhelmed. But it's very true that finding the worst in everything you come across not only brings YOU down but also affects those who come into contact with you.
I know people who suck the life right out of others whenever they enter a room, simply because they are constantly looking for the bad instead of the good. They could have everything going right for them yet not appreciate any of it because they are focused on negative thoughts. They can't possibly be happy inside and I wish they knew how much better life could be for them if they would just once look on the bright side of things.
Many people also don't understand that the negative energy they create within themselves can be quite detrimental to their health. I've personally seen the miracles that can happen when you believe in yourself and practice positive thinking.
Choose your battles carefully and make up your mind that most of what bothers us on a daily basis is either not worth the time it takes to be angry over or it's something over which we have no control.
Save your energy for the important issues and remember that while anger can sometimes be a positive driving force, allowing it to consume you can also destroy you.
Below are some good quotes to think about.......have a great day and think positive!
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Fill your mind with light, happiness, hope, feelings of security and strength, and soon your life will reflect these qualities.
Being positive or negative are habits of thoughts that have a very strong influence on life.
A positive attitude brings strength, energy and initiative.
To think negatively is like taking a weakening drug.
Affirm the positive, visualize the positive & expect the positive, and your life will change accordingly.
The ten most powerful 2-letter words in the English language: If it is to be, it is up to me.
Do not let circumstances influence your thoughts and moods. By rising over them mentally, you will eventually rise over them materially.
