Training your Mind to see the Positive in Every Situation By: Amsgustilo Most of us would sometimes get ourselves in situations we never thought we will get into. We would always question ourselves why we got into certain adversities in life that we could have avoided. More so, we feel so depressed and think that life is over. For instances where we really feel down, it hurts much more realizing that we are left alone for the battle. The consequences of our wrong decisions in life make us feel like it is a lifetime burden to carry on. Our misfortunes will transform us into bitter individuals. We find no happiness in anything and gets frustrated as days pass by. We get pissed off easily with even small details not getting accordingly to how we want them to be. All days are just so gloomy. No smiles can ever be seen on our faces. No jokes can ever be funny. But one day as I was looking for a notebook for some reminders I wanted to jot down. There was one cover of a notebook that hit me. It says “ TRAINING YOUR MIND TO SEE THE POSITIVE IN EVERY SITUATION”. I got so caught up and realized that it looks like a wake-up call for me. True. I maybe in a very hard situation but what is the use if I will continue to punish myself by being so miserable and be angry to myself. I have no one to be blamed for but myself. I may have lost all the material things in life and caused some friends with great misery but my family is still there. My family is my driving force to keep on living and believing that soon everything will be back into the right track. I still have a life to live and with that I still have the chance to be given opportunities to redeem what has been lost. No one can ever tell me of what future may bring. By having a strong faith to God, everything else will be given back and even much more. Through forgiving myself and equip it once more with the Positive Thinking that everything will be done accordingly to God’s Plan, all things will be resolved. How can you be successful if you continue to be pessimistic? Programming our minds to stay positive will bring out the inner force from within to bring us to think clearly and begin to strive again to regain our energies and be focused on how we can have a better life. There will always be the chance to bring back what has been lost and rebuild broken relationships. No amount of negativity can help us to prosper. But a POSITIVE MIND will surely bring us to succeed. Let us train our minds to see the positive in every situation and this will surely make us feel lighter and happier. Focusing on what has to be done to restore what has been lost will bring us to appreciate life more and live each day with a more optimistic perspective bound to achieve success.
