Written by Banchi
I have a friend who tells me that she is fed up with being positive all the time.
She explains in spite of all her positivity she is powerless against all the negativity she sees in the world.
She says that she is not going to focus on her attitude from now on. She says that it is not working anymore.
In fact, her focus on what is not working for her has become absolute.
She is dead set on the other side.
What can I do to change my friend’s mind?
Nothing.
I can only change myself.
I cannot change you. I cannot change you.
I have another friend who passed through a terrible ordeal and yet kept her sparkling personality.
She has been struggling with one thing or another for the past year and she tells me she is stronger than ever and that she is ready for other challenges.
Who is more likely to win over life?
Who is more likely to live life fully?
Setting aside all magical thinking, our attitude creates our reality!
Our mindset determines the way we live our lives!
The WAY we SEE things makes or breaks us.
And, this is called a MINDSET.
Coming at life with a positive mindset will change what I experience into a positive one.
That’s what it means to have a positive mindset.
