Life is all about perception. You are the one that makes every decision in your life. Negative or positive and we may not even know at the time but that decision was on you. You must be self aware enough to take responsibility for our actions or choices that we have made. And we must be confident enough with our decisions right or wrong to keep moving forward in life, and constantly progressing into a better version of ourselves.
You choose to live the happy carefree, stress free life. Or you choose to life the negative, glass half full life. Ultimately that is on you. And I don't just mean the happy carefree ones are the ones with tons of money. I know a lot of people in life that don't have hardly any money to their name and they are some of the happiness, honest, amazing people in the world; and they almost never stress. And I know a lot of really wealthy people that are extremely unhappy and stressed. Life gets us all down at times, its how we get through it and choose to handle it that makes us what are are. We can choose to take the positive more direct approach about it, or you can take the negative approach that in the long run will waste more time because at that point you just don't care.
Is life easy, hell no life is work. It is far easier to die then it is to remain living. Then to live good, honest, healthy, wealthy lives takes even more work. You have to be willing to take the actions and put them in place daily, some times multiple times a day to form that habit. Once its a habit its an after thought and is routine. Life is all about stages, like a video game. You don't get everything all at once. You need to visualize it and put in the actions or the work to make it a reality. One goal and then the next until you have your dream.
It is extremely hard at times to remain positive in light of a negative situation. But if you really look deep down at it's core you will realize that getting upset about what just went wrong or frustrating yourself to the point of overload you realize that that didn't help the situation at all in the slightest and many times it can even make it far worse.
That's why we all need go be more confident in ourselves, and self aware of what is going on around us. For a long time it seemed that if was wrong to be confident, people tend to get confident and cocky mixed up some times. And those people that mix it up more often then not aren't confident enough to see the difference. Being confident in ourselves and the decisions that we make is one form of being self aware. Ready to take responsibility and action for decisions.
Make the changes you want in life today. Even if you start out small. Action is what it takes for results. You want the results you have to put in the work. Change your mindset to be more positive, and more productive. It will work wonders for you as it has worked wonders for me. Thank you for reading.
Nicely written post. I agree it comes down to perception.
Mindset is one of the most overlooked areas by people. And the likely number one reason why so many people never complete any big life goals, from a success standpoint.
Besides the obvious factors like talent and opportunity, there are two major players in the mindset of the successful that the others have yet to master... self-control and grit.
Self-control is being able to control your attention, your emotions, and your behavior in moments when something appealing or attractive comes along. Mindfulness meditation is a great way to work on your self-control. When you’re able to quiet your thoughts, you have more focus and clarity.
Grit is having the determination and perseverance to keep pursuing your goals through all road blocks. Most of the time, our road blocks are self-imposed. Grit doesn’t have to mean working 16 hours a day. What’s important is being able to keep pushing forward in your pursuits without sacrificing your livelihood.

I've done a lot of study on "positive" and "negative" energy. Both things are very real, not just a way of thinking. Either way we are channeling one or the other. But I think there is a downward spiral when people start believing they bring on negative things to themselves because they had a bad day.
I feel lot of these "manifestation" and "Law of Attraction" books, don't specifiy enough how to deal with converting negativity into positivity! But anyway, good post though! @trendhobo

Thank you. Converting negativity into positivity is subjective. It differs from individual to individual which is why those books that you are saying don't explain it enough can't per say.

It is an exciting subject that has already been mentioned: is money making happiness? We hear absolutely everything on the subject, some say that money makes happiness, some say that money does not make happiness, and others say bluntly that money makes misfortune. But what we hear most often is "money does not make happiness, but it contributes". And it's quite true, money does not make happiness or misfortune, money is just a tool that allows you to buy things, to do things, to create things.
That it is your point of view?
