Enjoy Your Life: Change Your Point of View!

"Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars."- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts

If you’ve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again?

In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.

So why nurture an optimist’s point of view? And why now?

Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.

On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well.

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.

Optimists are healthier and live longer

Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body's ability to fight disease.

Optimists’ health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts.

So why not be an optimist today? And think positively towards a more fulfilled life.

Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side?

Being Poor is a Sin!!

As mentioned in one of my previous posts being poor is a sin. I am reading the most incredible book about the laws of prosperity. As someone who has read The Secret and other books along these lines I have always been stumped by the fact that I cannot seem to find the way to do the things that they appear to take for granted that everyone should know.

Thinking it was just me I started to ask around among my friends who had also read The Secret and they had experienced the same thing. Now don't get me wrong The Secret was great and I even bought the DVD but at the end of the day I did not know how to get started on my way to where they were. I needed - literally - a step by step guide on how to start.

Well believe it or not when you need something and you ask for it, it usually appears. This is what happened to me. Completely out of the blue, someone I know introduced me to this book and said they thought I might need it.

Wow do I need it and I feel that there are many others out there who need this sort of advice.

You see it is not just about wishing and hoping that something good will happen, it is doing something about it. It is about knowing what to do in order to create your life as you want it.
