MM Tip #19 - What are YOU Thinking?

Why is it that people tend to dwell on the negatives in life?

There was a newspaper that focused on sharing only positive news. I believe it was called the "Good News Newspaper". It only lasted six months. Why do you think that nobody wanted to purchase it?

It does not matter who gets elected, for example, there are always people who pick on the negatives of who won or lost. Why is it that so many people tend to dwell on these...especially after the fact?

Will all the negative comments make the outcome that is already past, different today?

Does all the screaming and crying really do anything other than turn people off?

How does it make you feel within yourself when you speak negatively? Do you feel better or are you getting more upset inside?

Bingo!

What do intelligent people do when life hands them a basket full of negatives? They focus on their strengths.

Don't focus on your weaknesses for you are weak in your weaknesses, focus on your strengths.

Why is it that our entire lives are fraught with negatives? When people have conversations, inevitably it turns to negative thoughts about what has happened to them and how badly they feel.

Have you noticed that when you speak about a negative, the worse you feel?

Whatever we decide to let permeate our thoughts, that is what will be fed and allowed to grow in intensity.

When I was growing up, my Mom would not allow us to come to the breakfast table with a grouchy face. If we had a grouchy face, we were calmly sent to our room to "find your smile". It did not take us long to figure out that if we wanted breakfast, we came to the table with a smile on our faces. These lessons taught me that it was up to me to change my own attitude.

I can Choose to Smile! I can Choose to be Positive! I can Choose to find the Good in Life!
Remember that what we think is what we speak and what we speak is what we get. So think and speak what you want; not what you have.

What does negativity do to your dreams and goals?

Get my drift? You get what you feed.
