Being Positive or Negative is a Choice

Being Positive or Negative is a Choice 

“When you wake up every day you have two choices. You

can either be positive or negative; an optimist

or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist.

It’s all a matter of perspective.”

Harvey Mackey Businessman, Author, Syndicated Columnist

 

 

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Being positive or negative is a choice

 

It can be said . . . . That things turn out about. . . .  the way we think they will. In other words, how you think will have a big impact on the way things turn out in your life.

 

An optimist believes that things will turn out the way they want them to be . . . . They will do everything they can do to create the outcome they want to achieve.

 

On the other hand, the pessimist believes that things are not going to turn out very good. And through negative thinking . . . . and less them the required actions to create successful results. They will think their way to poor results . . . . and their lack of efforts ensure a negative outcome.

 

Being positive or negative is a choice . . . .  and the choice you make will greatly impact your results.

With all the negativity that surrounds us each day, it's easy to fall in the same trap.  ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!  Congrats on the featured post Lou.

Yes!  This is the very same decision that I make each day before I get out of bed and my feet hit the floor.  My choice is always to be optimistic and positive.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reminder Lou... choosing is correct, but making that choice is sometimes more difficult. As salespeople, we all face trials which leave us feeling betrayed and in pain. It is best in those moments to acknowledge it and then make the determined choice not to dwell on it. All the best in your efforts to be positive and confident as your day goes along!

Perpetually negative folks are hard to be around. That said, not everyday can be a dream, we have to forge on regardless and try to help others.

Dear Lou,

Some negative thoughts need to be worked through until you can see the positive. One of my old classmates died this week. Still trying to find the positive in that.

We should be thankful and grateful that we have the choice to be as optimistic and cheerful or pessimistic and glum because there are many who unfortunately don't have that choice.

I believe that optimism is energizing. Why let pessimism drag you down, when your outlook can get you through obstacles?
