Do You Offer Solutions Or Problems?

It is a common understanding that your attitude shapes many aspects of your life. Many people believe that a positive attitude brings about positive things, while a negative attitude brings negativity.

A positive attitude has a way of even influencing your environment, but it may not be in the way you think. Just because you have this positive attitude does not mean that everything will automatically go your way.

When you think positively you will be less likely to see the negative in things and therefore your environment will appear to change. You will probably start to notice the little things more than ever before and that will have a nice effect on you.

You will be able to start believing in yourself. It will allow you to believe that you can accomplish something if you put your mind to it. You will be able to set goals and reach them because you will believe that you can do it. You will not have that negative energy to hold you back.

A positive attitude is very influential. It will start to shape everyone and everything around you. You are going to see the great power it has almost immediately. The power of a positive attitude is anything but subtle.

With this in mind, you have to decide what it is you want from life. Do you want positive things or negative things?

In order to have good things happen you need to be very conscious to make your positive attitude your ally. You have to conduct yourself in positive ways, think about positive things, and live in a positive manner - you have to make your attitude your ally.

A practical example : We all know that one person, the one who always has some "problem" to be solved. And then when you do supply a solution, they will give you 100 reasons why your solution will not work.

So you give them another idea / solution, and immediately they will tell you WHY it wont work and the 50 reasons why they say so.

Do not be that person! Rather than coming up with 50 reasons something will NOT work, look for one or two why things WILL work!

When you see something you want or you need, don't go saying to yourself "I can't afford it" , say "what plan can I follow, what deal can I do, how can I get / make the money to buy this?"

Be the one that comes up with solutions, not the one that offers up problems all the time.

    the one person ? most people don't actually want to solve many of the problems they complain about ..they just want you or anyone who listens to take part in a poor me party .

    the comfort zone that gets talked about..tend to be a very uncomfortable place in reality..the problem are just familiar and you learn to cope with them .. to numb the pain .

    there are people who hate being in prison but once they have been in a while and get out the commit a crime to go right back in ..

    now..to actually get to a solution.. one has to understand their part in the problem .. but most will never admit that they are the ones always at the seen of the crime .

    many people don't solve the problem because they know there is just another problem after it to be solved .. but at some point ..people keep the problems similar to those around them .

    others look at you as very selfish if you put to much effort into solving your own problems

    With a positive frame of mind you can accomplish virtually anything you put your mind to. If you positively affirm yourself and others, you will help make the world a better place. Constructive criticism is good but encouraging others through positive affirmation is extremely important as well!

    "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe the mind of man can achieve."

    Maybe

    Just telling people to "shape up" doesn't quite cut it. This is a particular type of personality that usually does this nitpicking negativity. It is the critical mind at work that does it's best in a positive environment. These people tend to be detail oriented and passive. Instead of asking them to be "positive" or constructive they thrive in environments with detailed instruction and working with things like computers. In other words you are asking them to change their personality which is almost impossible. Much better to leave them alone to do their thing. It is just simply much more effective to learn to manage this negativity and contain it so you can use it instead of getting them to change.

    On the other hand, the opposite personality - the socialite who immediately connects with "being positive" is very popular. But they do tend to lack depth and working with details well. Not that this matters much in popularity professions such as movie stars because we love them in spite of it.

    Another way to put it is the interesting occurrence that happens the higher someone's intellectual IQ rises. After about 150 points a person's social skills start to noticeably diminish while their intellectual abilities rise. They are trading off social skill for intellectual ability.

    Oprah is incredibly popular. On her TV show she put the best of the best to show the world. Only one or two or so guests ever got their own show (Dr Phil). One guest even had a complete breakdown and lost everything. After several years iyanla -fix my life is back and is holding her own now. <Ha, see what I did there?

    I turned it around.

    Being always positive will change your life but it takes time as our minds are filled with a lot of negative things right from the childhood. You need persistence and patience to see the results you desire. Being positive always is simple but not as easy as we think. It's not just changing your thinking but also to change your attitude and your feelings. Most people think if they get what they desire, they feel good. But it works the other way. If they feel good, they get what they desire. One should reprogram their subconscious mind.
