Positive Mind for a Positive Life?

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

So I have began this post with one of my favorite quotes from Marilyn Monroe. 
Clearly Marilyn was having a good day when she said this, she was known for her crazy and turbulent life, but this blog post isn't about Marilyn, It's about a little thing called POSITIVITY.

There is no point in sugar coating it, Life can be absolute rubbish sometimes, and sometimes we all have days where we feel like nothing is worth it, and that everything bad always happens to us, we are only human, and sometimes things do get to much. Now if we are honest with ourselves, when we feel like It's the end of the world, and that so much bad stuff comes our ways, the likelihood is that it really isn't as bad as we think, and that elsewhere someone truly is suffering and having the worst time ever. We can't be blamed for feeling sorry for ourselves though, and sometimes when something shit happens, we are not going to take on board that someone else is far worse off. BUT....

If we get into a pattern of allowing ourselves to get down about everything, and to be negative about our life's, then this will only ever continue, and nothing will ever seem hopeful or escapable.

Sometimes in life, we get stuck in a rut. Our routine of work, or school or University is mundane, we do the same things everyday, and we often think the same things too. Often these things are negative, we worry about money, relationships and education/work. Eventually these thoughts become normal, we begin to over analyse, over react and over think the negative thoughts and feelings, this will lead to a lack in interest, a lack in motivation and a lack in desire. You could call this a vicious circle. One that keeps going around and leads us nowhere, at the end of the day it's completely pointless. But hey in this state of mind who the hell cares right, because your all down, and your going to write a Facebook status about it, and your going to sit and hide under the covers all day. 

NO!

One thing I have learnt in life is that -
What we think is how we come across, what we feel is what others see us as. If we believe that we are nothing, we will start to come across as nothing. If we think we are worthless, others will view us as disposable also. BUT.. 
If we believe we are strong, we act strong, we think strong. If we think we are worthwhile, good people we will start acting in that way too, and others around us will pick up on this, they will treat us differently, this leads on to a whole path in life, one where you are positive, confident and able to progress in life, able to achieve the dreams you want.

Its all in your head..
Sometimes we just have to not care what everyone thinks, we have to care what we think, what we want and where we are going. Thinking more positive will not only change how you feel about yourself, but how others feel about you too. Your positivity will rub off on others, and this will lead you on journeys you never knew, positivity brings confidence and makes you feel inspired. 

Sometimes you have to reflect and think of everything you do have in life, your good points, and your abilities. USE THEM and appreciate EVERYTHING you have. You have more than you think, you have more than most, and you have a duty to use them, you have a duty to yourself to be the best possible version of yourself. You owe it to you, nobody else.

And remember..
A bad attitude is like a flat tyre you can't go anywhere until you change it ;)
