How to be Positive Every Single Day?

"You have to be positive every single day. You have to put effort into it daily, because no one else is going to do it for you."

Get out of your own static comfort zone by moving forward with momentum and power that positive thinking can give you. Every time a negative thought comes at you, zap it. Replace it with a positive thought. That takes energy, but the result will be stamina - positive stamina, a necessary ingredient for success.Sometimes you just have to be tough. I use the example of a brick wall. Is there a brick wall in your way? Fine, that happens. But you have a choice. You can walk away from the wall. You can go over the wall. You can go under the wall. You can go around the wall. You can also eradicate the wall. In other words, don't let anything get in your way. Get a balance, and then let the positive outdistance the negative. Be positively persistent.

Optimism can be learned, and it can make a huge difference in life. No matter how large and intimidating a challenge might be, facing it with optimism is the thing you can do to manage, shape and eventually triumph over it. The bottom line: Trash the pessimistic attitude!

Sometimes we are so zealous to become successful that we forget about what is significant. The background for success should include some intrinsic values as well as monetary values. We should be aware of our culture and other cultures, our history and their history, and not live in what has been termed "a cultural vacuum." Someone once said that not knowing history was like being a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree. That's an interesting visual and it applies to many people. We are individually responsible for our education, and that means whether you are in school or not.

If I sound tough on this subject, I am. I see no value whatsoever in believing ignorance to be an attribute. It is not. It is good to start each day by saying to yourself, "What can I learn today that I didn't know before?" It opens you up to more information and net worth as an individual. Why live restricted lives due to lack of knowledge when there are so many resources available to us today?Another interesting aspect of history is that it will lead us to seeing that we are all a part of it. History is not just in the past, it is happening now. How can you know what you are a part of if you don't know what it is to begin with? As Pearl Buck said, "If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday." The world didn't start with your birth and it won't end with your death either. That doesn't mean you are not a part of the scheme of things. To the contrary, it means that you are.

Back to the leaf image. What if you know you are a leaf, but you're not sure what a tree is? I would say the best thing to do is to find out what a tree is. It is pretty simple. It reminds me of an Apprentice task that is enough of a challenge to set the apprentice out to discover and research some things before they jump in to the task at hand.

I was listening to some Europeans once and they seemed to agree that Americans didn't seem to know their roots. Of course, their roots go back for many more centuries than ours, and may be easier to decipher, as many of us have ancestors from different countries. But it gave me reason to think about what they said and I realized in many cases they were right. I recently went to Scotland, as my mother's side of the family is of Scottish ancestry, and I've spent time studying that country and therefore my heritage. It could even explain why I love golf so much - it originated in Scotland.

Take my advice and never be a know-it-all. First of all, it's impossible to know everything, and second of all, it is just no fun, for you or anyone else. And third, you will be missing out on some great adventures. So remember to think big by expanding your horizons at the same time you are expanding your net worth. That's what significant success is about.

Excerpts from couple of books…

"Remember happiness does not depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think".

Dale Carnegie

What you think, is of vital importance to ascertain not only who you are, but also how you are.

If you are thinking, how to make more money, it does not mean “YOU ARE CHASING MONEY”!! Who does not need more money to take care of their needs, providing good education to children, fulfilling their own Dreams, to have early retirement and so on…….

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.”

Cheers! Be positive every single day!
