List Your Wins

Optimism and positivity are priceless. A person that can always see the glass half full is a happy person.

Many times the ability to find the pro in every con is retrospective.

Only after the fact, after the initial burst of anger and frustration, we are able to take a step back, relax, reexamine the situation and realize it’s all for the best, and it is perfectly OKAY.

However, it is the ability to stay optimist in real time that really improves our quality of life and keeps us happier and more content in general.

“Being negative is easy. There will always be a downside to everything good, a hurdle to everything desirable, a con to every pro. The real courage is in finding the good in what you have, the opportunities in every hurdle, the pros in every con.”
Carolyn Hax

Try to change the way you look at things, to change your perspective and always see the positive in any given situation. Start today and try to make it work in real time by listing your wins. Find all the half full glasses in your day and list them as they are served to you…

If this exercise succeeds, make it a habit!

Inspiration Prompt – The Founding Power Of Your Thought

Positive Thinking

Our mind is extremely powerful. It has the ability to not only analyze our feelings but to found and form them as well. When we think positively everything we do satisfies and fills us with great pleasure and content. When we think that we are sorry little beings we live down to our expectation and measurement.

I am not the first to mention it. Oh no. This notion is as old as humanity itself. Greater and smarter people had taught it times and again, but still it is difficult to implement it on the everyday.

There are so many excuses for not taking this old advice. We do not want to sound vein. We do not want to raise “the evil eye“. We do not want to delude ourselves nor others. We should be realistic. It is much easier teaching about positive thinking than to actually let ourselves think positively when everything seem so negative and wrong. We live in a harsh world.

So many excuses to keep us away from happiness and self fulfillment. None of the excuses is tangible.

For this week’s inspiration prompt I ask you to take a minute and ponder about the founding power of our thought and then use it for empowerment and growth.

Remember:

“It isn’t what you have, or who you are,
or where you are, or what you are doing
that makes you happy or unhappy.
It is what you think about.”
Dale Carnegie
