Thanks for the post - Yes, it's all about a positive attitude!

In the morning my 9 year old son always says he's going to have a great day, he's got the right idea.  If he psychs himself into it right from the start of the day he's going to have a great day.  So, I answer the phone:  It's a great day at Advance Realty, how can I help you.  It is a great day, life is wonderful and I am in complete control of how great a day it's going to be!!  And so do you!!

Heres the thing...figuring out what to do with those negative feelings...(yikes)  thanks Mike

While watching The Secret for the 3rd time, a scripture came to mind.  If ye are not for me, ye are against me.  If you are not behaving and thinking towards the goal, the God, the happiness...you are behaving and thinking yourself away from (against) it...there is no gray area. 

Thank You Jonelle for the comment :)

June, that's a great story. Thanks so much for sharing.

Konnie, negative feelings are bound to happen. The key is to gradually guide them

into positive thoughts. Going from extreme sadness or anger to extremely positive thoughts rarely happen.

However, if you try to change your emotion from negative to positive a little at a time: (for example you could go from extreme anger, to frustration, to mild annoyance, to okay, to forgiveness, to happiness.), this gradual change will make it much easier to deal with the negatives, than it would by trying to go from one extreme to another.  It seems like every time I realize my negative state and try to change it to very positive quickly, I get more frustrated because of the lack of ease in doing so. Thank You as always for stopping by and for your comment :)

Elaine, very true. You are either working towards happiness or you aren't. It's our choice. Thanks for your comment :) 

Mike - The reality if every day life can make positive thinking very difficult. Can you sometime address ways of dealing with real fears?

I have the quote on my wall that says, " A wise man will be master of his mind and a fool will be its slave."

Mike,

I always try to be a positive person but those negative thoughts have a way of sneaking into my mind.

Marzena, it's true. Sometimes staying positive can be a little challenging. Just like many things in life, it takes practice. As far as real fears go, there are no such thing as a real fear. Those things people fear will manifest, because that is their focus. The opposite or positive side of what they fear can always be manifested if that is their focus instead of the negative consequences.

For instance, if someone fears never having enough money in life, the focus on the lack of money will create more "lack" of money.

If they fear getting in a car accident, eventually that fear will manifest and happen if keep that focus and fear for a period of time.

For the most part Marzena, if you intend safety and protection for each day, that should take care of many of people's fears.

Thanks as always for your comments :)

Thank You Bronson for the quote. Spiritual wisdom will make a man very wise.

Mike, don't feel bad. It's normal to have negative thoughts sneak into your mind. Just try to keep the focus on the positive side of what you're thinking about, and be in a good mood as often as you can.

If there are days when that's not so easy, just know that it's a passing phase and things will get better shortly.

Thanks so much everyone for your comments!!

God Bless,

Mike Ludens
