13. Be Positive About Yourself
"A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success." - Joyce Brothers
Do you want to have more success in life? Yes? Then become more positive about yourself and your capabilities and potential in life. Become more positive about what you deserve and what you can achieve. When you develop a positive mindset about your worth and capabilities, you are much more likely to put in the work that helps you become successful.
This is all about confidence. Confidence is the belief that you can rely on something. It is positive belief about something. Self-confidence, therefore, is the positive belief that you can rely on yourself and expect good things from and for yourself. Develop your

Their mindset and attitude will rub off on you and help you become more positive. But, if you surround yourself with negative people, their mindset and attitude will also rub off on you and drag you down into being a loser in life.
15. Being Positive Is Good For You!
"We know the negatives hurt you, and what we’re now starting to get is scientific evidence that positives actually help you." - Dr. Phil
On the Doctors, Dr. Phil said that we have a lot of studies on how negativity affects us - well, negatively. It affects our health negatively and our mindset negatively. This is well-known and easy to see. Anyone who is predominantly negative seems to struggle with their health more than others.
But, he also said that we are now starting to get evidence that positivity can affect you in a positive way, both your health and your mindset. I really believe the placebo effect has something to do with this. The way you view your world and yourself - either positive or negative - can have an effect on your body. (Read 'You Are The Placebo ' to learn more.) When you are positive, you are more likely to maintain positive thoughts about yourself and your health.

She has often said that her mother gave her advice to be positive, and she 's used it. It 's hard to argue that she has had a great life and is a positive influence on many people, so the advice seems to be working for her! So, accentuate the positive in every situation and be optimistic about what is to come. Focus on the positive instead of the negative and live a happier and more humorous life.
17. Be Powerful With Optimism
"Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power." - William James
Negative people often think they are more powerful than positive people, but that 's not true. Positive people are more creative, more willing to take chances, stronger in tough situations, more willing to do what needs to be done, and less emotional about what has happened in their life because they don 't feel as attacked as negative people do. All of those things make them stronger in every
Award-winning author Mandy Hale once stated, “Without negativity, life would be amazing.” However, this statement does not always prove to be true. Today’s modern community generates a judgement that negative experiences will ruin your life, but studies show that negativity can actually result in positive change. For example, negativity can positively change teenagers actions, introduce teenager’s to more supportive environments, and help fix broken relationships.
She argues that a positive outlook will not make one cancer free, give one a job, make one wealthy or do you constantly happy. The beginning of the book made me realize that the balance of positive and negative thinking is the most important life lesson. She shows the readers how staying positive through her battles of cancers is going to make it easier, but Ehrenreich is trying to explain to the readers that it is okay to be negative. Ehrenreich gives the readers more of a negative side and thinks being positive is beginning to harm us. I can understand why she was thinking so negative while she was battling cancer, she was told by a cancer patient, “I know that if I get sad, or scared or upset, I am making my tumor grow faster and it will have shortened my life” (Ehrenreich 43). Ehrenreich sure did give the audience a way of understanding as to how people rely too much on positivity. She tells us that one will need to
Having a positive outlook can be very important when being involved in a conflict or trying to solve one. This is how Anne Frank and Louise Ogawa from First Read: Dear Miss Breed got through the roughest times of their lives. They kept a positive outlook on things and tried to make the best of the worst. Just looking on the bright side, even if it feels like there isn’t one can make a huge difference. As a great thinker, such as Joyce Meyer, once said, ‘’A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances, having power over you’’. If they did not maintain a positive outlook, then who knows how they would have survived. Having a positive outlook gives you the strength to keeping going
Sometimes, I will have friends come up to me with a difficulty and the only thought running through my head would be, “how can I make them see the positive side of this?” Positivity naturally encourages people to see an end to a difficulty and even see the light of the situation. Imparting optimism remains one of my principles in life, as I have seen it push people and myself to do amazing things. Eleanor Roosevelt is a remarkable woman as listed above, but above all, her commitment stands out the most.
If someone thinks negatively towards something the outcome will not be good, and vice versa. Thinking you can achieve the American dream is a major key in doing so, and some Americans are already on the right track. In the U.S., a survey showed that 36 percent of Americans say they have achieved the dream, and another 46 percent believe they are on the path of achieving it. It is not so easy, though, to always look on the bright side. Sometimes it seems as if nothing is going right; that is when negativity occurs. People can argue that mindset has little impact on the outcome, or that it does not matter how positive a person is because some things are just not meant to be. An article, however, proves this wrong. The paper argues how negative emotions prevent humans from flourishing; it also states, “if your ratio of positive to negative emotions is greater than 2.9013 to one, you will flourish both physically and psychologically.” If a person believes in themselves, they are more likely to accomplish their
Positive experiences can make someone a better person because people can learn from those positive experiences and use it to help someone else become a better person. One example is “One positive by-product of the Diamondbacks injury list has been the experience gain
What does it mean to be positive? Being positive is displaying affirmation, acceptance, or certainty toward an object, idea, or person. “Trauma is used when describing emotionally painful and distressing experiences or situations that can overwhelm a person’s ability to cope” (John A. Rich, Theodore Corbin, & Sandra Bloom, 2008. Trauma could include death, violence, verbal and nonverbal words and actions, discrimination, racism, etc. Trauma can have serious long-term effects on a person’s health, mental stability, and physical body.
A negative attitude is a monster that attacks many people in my life. People who live with a negative attitude are always depressed and worried about what they face everyday. I see this feeling in many of my fellow swimmers, as well as myself. The monster attacks us when we are most vulnerable, working hard at practice. The monster jumps into our brains and begins to make us to see ourselves failing. When we begin to worry about failing, we leave no time for ourselves to think about how to succeed in finishing the workout. This horrid beast lowers our self-confidence and limits our chances to put forth a full effort. The beast will engage in people if they are down on themselves about not achieving the standards they had set forth. When a swimmer swims a race and adds a couple of seconds to his best time, he will get upset. That is the moment when the monster attacks. The negative-attitude monster will make this person believe that he could never go any faster and that he had wasted all of his practice time. Along with attacking one of us at practice, the monster attacks others through a skillfully thought out plan. The way the plan works is that the monster makes one person believe they cannot make it through the workout. This person then begins to talk negatively about the set being too hard or too long. The other swimmers who have not been attacked listen to the infected one. They subsequently begin to doubt themselves. Then, in a matter of minutes, the monster has successfully conquered a whole group of swimmers and makes them believe that they cannot succeed.
She has helped thousands of people understand the importance of having a positive outlook in relation to happier life. She supports my claim that people can choose their attitude and overall
Positive Psychology is the strengths and virtues a person or a community poses that lead to its optimal performance and allow it to thrive.This is a beneficial study that has the chance to improve the lives of many as well as preventing some negative situations. This review looks into what Positive Psychology is and how it impacts our lives.

This review has to lead me to believe that if we see ourselves and the future in a positive way it will have a positive effect on our lives.
Research has shown that there are negative personality traits that can cause an individual to be prone to becoming depressed. An individual’s negative personality traits can lead them to be perceived more negatively by others, which leads them to feel hurt and rejected (Whitbourne, 2013, para. 9). This is simply because no one likes to be around someone who is consistently negative since they bring negativity into the environment which also brings down other people’s mood. It is...
Negative looks at what isn’t there in the form of diseases and illnesses and what isn’t there makes us healthy.
Whether an individual has positive or negative attitude is not a major contributor to their happiness and a realistic attitude would be ideal for those trying to increase their
Success, is a term with relative meaning depending on what aspect of life it is associated with. I view success in terms of achievements, fulfillment, and accomplishments. I set goals, and I do what it takes to make them happen, by dedicating my time, intelligence, skills to achieve them. I make sure that at the end of the day I can be proud of my work, knowing that I invested myself a hundred percent. Goals are a very important aspect of life, they are like maps that guides you, because if you do not know where you are going, how would you know when you get there. All aspects of my life are intertwine, and accomplishing something in my personal life have repercussion on how I feel in my professional life, and vice versa. I do not measure success on the size of my bank account, the size of my house, or what kind of car I drive, but instead I assess how happy and filled my life is. Filled with family, friends, love, happiness, and that is what I use to determines how successful I feel.
...and goal oriented people you will most likely get the best out of life. If you decide to surround yourself with negative people who don’t have anything to look forward to in life, then you’re setting yourself up to be unsuccessful. Those negative people will try their hardest to bring you down with them.
