Positive Thinking.

Such a simple thing as how I view the day can have dramatic effects on me. Small things of the everyday can cause me to react to things either in a positive or negative way. I am prone to be affected by the weather as without thinking if it is pouring with rain and somebody says it is a bad day I can find that my mood has matched the gloomy prospects outside. But If I had just won the Euro Millions how much of a bad day would it be? The point is good opportunity occurs regularly but I am more likely to recognise it if I start the day off positively and make use of it. Positive thinking can attract positive actions. I am fortunate to have a daughter who although at one time was restricted by a plaster cast over half of her body, had to have a metal halo fitted to her head and neck but still used that time to write and publish three children's books and study for her GCSEs. I found that instance to be inspirational and it made me feel guilty of complaining about nothing.

There is no doubt in my mind that how you view life is important. In life there are such examples as the musical composer Beethoven who although affected by deafness carried on to write inspired music which arguably altered many people's perspectives, attitudes and opinions. In the science world who can not be impressed by Professor Stephen Hawking and his extensive knowledge of Cosmology.

History is full of characters who have with afflictions made their mark on the world. An amusing story is one about Albert Einstein who was once told by a mathematics teacher he was no good at arithmetic but he carried on to be one of the outstanding thinkers in his field, one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century.

A successful entrepreneur is a person who can recognise opportunity in what others would term misfortune.

Positive thinking is not about solely contemplating one view but it is about being able to get through situations with the most optimistic outcome, it is about living life to the full with an outlook that can aid you in your pursuits and perhaps help you to achieve positivity in ways you never thought possible.
