If you start off thinking you will mess up a task, the chances are that you will as you have programmed your mind for failure and you may not try hard enough to succeed, you may have failed already in your mind because your negative thought has prepared you for this out come, you won't attract support from other people, and you may not perceive any results as good enough so in your mind you have already failed before you have even begun.
Positive thinking, on the other hand, is often associated with positive actions and outcomes. You're drawn to, and you focus on, the positive aspects of a situation, you see it in your mind, you feel it and your desire and drive usually gives you that positive outcome. You have hope and faith in yourself and others, and you work and invest hard to prove that your optimism is warranted. You'll enthuse others, and they may well "pitch in" to help you. This makes constructive outcomes all the more likely. People want to be around positive people, it’s addictive, a positive mind attracts positive people and situations. Positive people faced with negative situations can deal with it better, can turn around the situation quickly and not dwell on the negative impact but instead look at a positive way or better way of dealing with the situation.
When it comes down to it, positive, optimistic people are happier and healthier, and enjoy more success than those who think negatively. The key difference between them is how they think about and interpret the events in their life.
So, how do you think about your successes and failures? Do you have a predictable thinking pattern? Do you let your mind drag you into the past or do you look to the future?
We can’t change the past but we can definitely make a positive impact in our future and that choice is in your hands x
