positivity – Personal Growth Cafe

I have so many beautiful reasons to be happy that I could never waste my time looking at the negative.

My eyes are fixed on the things that add life to me and my mind is anchored on valuable thoughts.

There is a song of thanksgiving on my lips.

I release myself from concerned thoughts of things beyond my control.

Temporary situations cannot consume me because I know they will not last.

Instead, I focus on my blessings.

My family is the rock under my feet that will never be removed.

They are the most constant force in my life.

Their love is unwavering.

I know I am loved regardless of whether I fail or succeed.

When I think of this, I am filled with joy.

Whenever I feel negativity creeping close to me, I speak to my heart.

I remind myself of all the things I have going for me, and the things I look forward to achieving in the future.

Regardless of how bad or good yesterday was, today the sun will rise.

Every morning, the sun rises as a reminder from heaven of the gifts we are given each and every day.

When I look at the sun, I am reminded that life happens one day at a time.

This thought prompts me to release my inhibitions and allows me to focus on the things that matter.

What are the constant things in your life?

What does the daily process of the sunrise symbolize to you?

The Power of a Positive Attitude

The power of a positive attitude cannot be underestimated.

The American minister and author of the book The Power of Positive Thinking Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.”

If you think you’re beaten, you are.

But if you stare defeat in the eye and refuse to give up because of “a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers” (Peale again), you can overcome any challenge and attain whatever you desire.

Empty pockets can’t hold you back very long, but if you have an empty mind filled with negative thoughts, you’ll always be held back from what you desire most.

Positive Thinking Leads To Action

With a positive attitude, you’ll begin to believe that you can build wealth in abundance.

You’ll chart your own course and be the master of your own fate and the captain of your own soul.

Thinking about what you want and deserve in life will lead you to take whatever steps are necessary to make those dreams come true.

Very often it’s a slow road to achieving your dreams, but one small step toward change will bring another small step after it.

Visualizing yourself in a better paying job might spur you to update your resume.

Believing you belong in a house in the suburbs might push you to call a realtor or look in the classified ads.

Realizing you have talents that make you special might convince you to volunteer in your community.

Living an abundant life doesn’t only refer to what’s in the bank. Abundance of family and friends is a very important part of human life.

It’s Easier To Be Negative

The average person gets all too easily gets imbued with a negative attitude.

It’s so much easier to whine and complain about needing more money, a better job, or a bigger house.

People are often lost in the negative imagery and don’t ever realize it’s in their own power to change their circumstances.

With a positive attitude, you’ll have a higher quality of life. Having a positive attitude can really work magic in your life.

People who have survived cancer invariably say that a positive mental outlook was vital to their success in overcoming their terrible disease.

A positive mental attitude helps you find the humor in things that may typically bring you down.

You’ll be able to see things from a fresh perspective so you can handle the tough times with more creativity and intelligence.

With a positive attitude, you’ll simply feel more joy in your life.

You’ll laugh more, feel healthier, be more courageous, have more self-confidence, and you won’t be as prone to giving up before you even get started.

More often than not, things will fall into place and you’ll feel an incredible sense of accomplishment!

How do you feel when you think of the positive side of things that happen to you instead of the negative consequences?

How can being positive help you become a better person?

I can explain my feelings openly to others.

I understand my feelings and I am able to express them to others in a safe and honest way.

My understanding and acceptance of my feelings helps me to communicate these feelings to others in a way that is positive.

I am effective in my communications because I am honest in exploring my feelings and accepting of myself in whole.

My feelings are normal.

Frustrations, anger, happiness, excitement and even the feelings of need are common feelings that I share with the human race.

I accept all of my feelings and welcome them.

I experience my feelings, share them and move on.

I am able to discuss my deepest thoughts with others because I have taken the time to first understand them myself.

I welcome all feelings, both the negative and the positive.

They help balance my life.

My positive feelings are made sweeter because I understand what the negative feelings offer.

Today, I choose to accept all my feelings and open my heart to others.

I choose to communicate what I feel in safe and healthy ways.

I will let go of any obstacles that hinder me from communicating my feelings to others.

How have you taken the time to fully understand your feelings?

How have you accepted your feelings no matter what they are?

Build Wealth with Positive Thinking

To achieve any kind of great success, you must first believe that you’re capable of achieving that success.

Great sports stars can suddenly begin having lousy performances if they suddenly feel they can’t perform well or live up to their coach’s high expectations.

Writers and musicians suddenly have their wellsprings of inspiration dry up if they no longer “feel it” or if they suddenly lose confidence in their creative abilities.

The same is true in our own lives. You don’t have to be famous for your boss to have high expectations of you at work.

Our families also have certain expectations and if you cave under the pressure, your performance might suffer and your negative thoughts will infiltrate other areas of your life.

You’re Worthy of Achieving Wealth and Success

When it comes to building wealth, we have to believe that we can see ourselves becoming more and more wealthy.

It doesn’t matter how smart we might be, or how talented we are, or whether we’re sitting on top of the best business opportunity to come along in our lifetime, if we don’t believe in ourselves, we’ll have a hard time building wealth.

Wealth flows to those who believe they deserve it. It flows to those who envision it in their hands, their bank accounts, and their lives.

Even in your darkest hours when you’re trying to build wealth in your life, when times are tough and the seas of your world are troubled, you have to continue to see great wealth in your life. If it all seems to be happening too slowly, have patience.

Those who “know” something good is coming their way can always afford to be patient and safe in their knowledge that what they’re yearning for is within their grasp.

You’ll Survive the Difficult Times

Earlier I mentioned sports. One of the great coaches in professional sports history, Vince Lombardi, said the time when you really need to believe in yourself is not when everything is going your way.

You need to believe in yourself when everyone doubts you.

It’s easy to have confidence when everything is naturally falling into place! But where is your confidence when you need it the most?

Obviously, it can be tough to maintain a positive mindset when others get down on you, but to help improve your outlook, try to surround yourself with people who believe in you and are supportive of your goals.

Engaging with others who share your enthusiasm will lift your spirits and help block out negative thoughts.

When you have a positive mindset about creating wealth, you’ll continue to do what feels right even when the darkness descends and everything seems like chaos.

When no one else believes in you, you’ll still be able to take inspired action and, by constantly moving forward, you’ll attract the wealth that you desire.

But none of this can happen unless you begin with a clear vision. You have to see yourself with the wealth and abundance you desire and deserve.

Each day, take a moment to find a quiet place and see yourself with the financial freedom, flexibility, and life you desire!

How have you celebrated your success?

How can you nurture your passion to keep the flame strong?

I am living a vibrant and healthy life.

I breathe in and know that my life is fit and vivacious because I make it that way.

I love feeling healthy and energetic. I can enjoy every moment of my day because I just feel good. I feel this way because I take care of myself through proper rest, nutrition, and exercise. When I take care of myself, I gain an intense energy and enthusiasm for the day and my life.

There have been times when I didn’t want to exercise, or when I chose unhealthy foods, and that’s okay. That was my yesterday; it doesn’t have to be my today.

I am strengthened and empowered when I do what I need to do to take care of myself. I feel better as my body is nourished and active — I feel alive! The positive energy within me radiates joyfully like the sun.

The sunlight shining from my smile feels like an electric current. My energy is high and I can achieve all my goals. When I am feeling low, I spend a few minutes exercising my body and mind. I then immediately feel recharged.

The people around me can feel my energy. It seems that when I am a bright light, others respond positively and they, too, are more vibrant. My positive attitude is contagious!

Today I choose to nourish my body and mind so I may continue to feel healthy and alive. I am taking care of myself so I can be full of life and joy for others.

When was the last time you felt really alive?

When was the last time you felt down?

What will you do about it next time?

Simple Strategies to Defeat Any Challenge

Challenges are a normal part of life. Many people look at challenges and loathe them, but challenges help move us forward. We would stand still without challenges, would never improve ourselves, and would always be the same people we are right now.

This knowledge may make challenges somewhat easier to deal with and may even enable you to defeat challenges or obstacles that are standing in your way. So ask yourself: Am I where I want to be in life? If you’re not happy, then it’s time to take charge.

Overcoming Challenges

Overcoming some challenges can be as simple as remembering that nothing lasts forever. Even though this may sound rather simple, it is true. When you are in the midst of a tough situation, you should pause for a moment and remember that this too shall pass.

We often get caught up in the drama and the stress of a challenge or obstacle. This blinds us to the reality that this moment is simply a stepping stone to where we are going.

Another way to overcome challenges is to seek help. We often become islands unto ourselves when we needn’t be. Ask friends and family for help, or get professional help if the challenge necessitates it.

Teaming up with those who are in our lives often makes a challenge seem smaller and less threatening.

Breaking challenges down into more manageable pieces also may make them easier to overcome. Many of us look only at the big picture, which often can be overwhelming.

Look at the challenges you are facing and see if you can’t break up the issues into smaller pieces to make the process less intimidating.

Positive thought is a great way to overcome challenges. Many people keep a list of affirmations with them – either physically or in their minds – to help them overcome difficulties as challenges arise.

Affirmations are simple statements to help you quiet negative thoughts that are in your mind. Many people find that positive thoughts are the key to overcoming both big and small challenges.

You can take positive thoughts one step further and incorporate affirmations into your everyday life. These affirmations may include, “If I can say it, I can do it, and I can be it.”

Getting up each day and saying these thoughts out loud reaffirms the positive thought and allows you to live it.

Many people repeat the thought each day at the same time, while others use them only in those moments when challenges present themselves and become overwhelming.

Overcoming challenges is difficult, but this is a vital part of learning more about yourself, who you are striving to be, and what your place is in this world.

In many situations, you can employ just one of these methods to overcome the challenges in your life, and in other situations you may need to use a combination.

Each person finds different methods of dealing with challenges to work for them, but the power of positive thought cannot be overlooked. This power will enable you to see the good in each challenge or obstacle that you encounter throughout your life.

What affirmation can help keep you going?

Who can you turn to for help when you feel you are overwhelmed and need someone to talk to?
