“A negative mind will never give you a positive life.”
I believe in that bit of wisdom so much that I should print it on t-shirts and hand them out like Halloween candy (mentally files that thought away for next October with a contented smile).
It’s a quote that can probably be interpreted in many ways but for me it means that if you have a positive attitude and mindset that is only dependent upon the self then you will tend to see things more positively and seemingly attract more positive events. I say seemingly because it is a matter of psychology and again interpretation. If both a negative-minded and positive-minded person experienced the same event, the positive minded person will look for the benefits, the silver-lining, the opportunity for growth and interpret the event as a positive occurrence. The negative-minded person will look for the things that went wrong, to complain about, to point out as insufficient and interpret the event as a negative occurrence. To the positive person they have more positive experiences to tally so it seems as though they are attracting positive things and experiences into their life.
Having a positive mind means you see your life with a positive view point while having a negative mind means focusing on the flaws and what is lacking.
Some people ask me how I can be so happy and bubbly all the time, well now my secret is out… I choose to have a positive mind. Choose is the operative word because it really truly is a choice. How do I do that? An expression of my own is how. ‘Even before my feet touch the floor in the morning, I choose my mood’ and I choose a positive mood every day.
