The Positive Spin

Sometimes you can trick yourself into a certain train of thought, an approach, or reaction because of your pride, your hurt, dismay, or fear is leading your response. However, if you choose to think consciously affirming the most positive thought, approach, reaction, or outcome, that will stimulate the circumstance that best benefits you in the long run. If you spend your time focusing on the way life has dealt you a bad hand, you can easily distract yourself from the opportunities life is presenting to you for growth in the wake of your trials.When situations and circumstances are difficult, painful, or unexpectedly disappointing they can also stir up disheartening and discouraging feelings in you too. While that may be an understandable immediate reaction given the predicament; it is important that you do not allow yourself to dwell in that place. Wasting time ignoring focusing on what your life is missing will not help you get it any sooner. In fact, it will stunt the growth and continued abundance of the blessings and relationships you already have. Instead of wasting energy on the negative things in your life, hone in on the things that are going your way, just as you planned, or better. Give yourself an energy boost to help you make a mental shift in a positive direction. Then, put that renewed energy into the ways that you can better yourself and the situation that plagues you. Focus on how you are actively gaining, earning, and acquiring the things, opportunities, person or people you seek that will positively add to your life. While doing that you are also acknowledging that life experiences consist of hills and valleys. Everything can not and will not be peachy all of the time. Always keep in mind that disappointments do not have to devastate you if you refuse to allow them to have that power. Decide that you will find the opportunity, possibility, and hill in every valley life hands you. Choose to keep climbing and be happy with the life, people, and blessings you have no matter what obstacles may come. Know that the sun shines again after even the worst storms. Now take your current obstacles and put a positive spin on your life.
