Be Positive to live Happily

Learn Positive

Learn positive from a pair of walking legs, the foot that is forward has no pride and the foot which is behind has no shame, they both know that their situation will change.

An Abstract from magazine Yog-Manjiri by Dharamveer

Attitude is the way we think and respond to life. It is our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual approach towards life. Right attitude is one of the most important tools towards self-actualization and self-empowerment. It is even more important than money, knowledge and education. Attitude can single-handedly make or break a person, a team, an organization, a home or a relationship.

In life, misfortunes happen. It is not what happens to us but we deal with what happens that makes the difference. Life can be seen as an up and down ride. Most of us only want to experience the ups, so we go around complaining about the downs, not realizing that the downs can be “blessings in disguise”. There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Positive attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes in your life and make you happier, brighter and more successful.

With a positive attitude we see the bright side of life and expect the best to happen. Whole life becomes filled with light. This light affects not only you and the way you look at the world but also your environment and the people around you.

Negativity can take terrible toll on our brains, our energy, our relationship, ultimately, our health. That is why choose to be positive.

Being positive does not mean that bad things will not happen to you. It does not mean that you will not face some incredible challenges. It simply means that you will have a much greater chance of succeeding at everything you experience. I have overcome some incredible challenges through my life and learnt many lessons along the way. Each challenge I faced, whether won or lost, helped me prepare for the next challenge.

As a Mechanical Engineer, I worked in different positions with a reputed Automobile Spring Manufacturing firm at Mumbai. Just 20 years ago, I faced my greatest challenge. I had serous condition of ULCERATIVE COLITIS resulting acute diarrhea and I used to pass 8-10 loose motions (uncontrollable) and it continued for 4-5 years.

The eminent doctors of Delhi and Mumbai were part of my life and in the end, I was operated for ILLEOSTOMY in 1990. The good news is: it is that miracle that I am here today. I had a lot of time to think during the minutes, hours, days, weeks and months I spent battling with my colitis. I now use the lessons I have learnt to inspire others to believe in themselves, be their own greatest fan and achieve things they never even thought were possible.

Since I am living proof of what ‘A Positive Attitude’ can do, I am now on a mission to share my secrets with as many people as I can. Adopt 10 steps that would augment a Positive Attitude in a natural and stantaneous way. I promise, you shall rear a positive outlook towards life and all its happenings.

These ten steps can be taken by any one, at any time, at any place:

Take Responsibility – For yourself your life is to live, and to live lively. It is your responsibility to define yourself and ensure your own happiness. Think that you could do to earn that merit. Do good and be good to yourself as well as to others.

Choose Your Attitude – Happiness does not just happen or appear. You will be happy when you decide to be happy. Deciding to be positive means deciding not to be negative. Fill your world and your mind with things that refresh you to stay positive and make you feel good.

Learn From Every Experience – There is a lesson to be learnt in every experience, every encounter and every person. Appreciate and imbibe the lessons learnt as part of your personality.

Live Like A Child – Never lose your joy. Believe in yourself and in your possibility to be child like. The average child laughs over 400 times each day. How many times a day do you laugh? Learn to laugh and you will be more positive and happy.

Believe That You Are Incharge of Your Destiny – No one can take your dreams from you except yourself. Life is what you make of it. There is no limit to how much you can accomplish in life and the way you could do it. Cherish your mission till your last breath.

Accept What You Cannot Change – There are many things in our life that we can and should change. There are others that you cannot change. Face them bravely. Some things may be beyond your control and decide it is time to let go and move on.

Be Always First – Take the first step to make the first move. Why wait on others lest miss some incredible opportunities, experiences, and friendships? Be the first one to smile, to speak, to ask, to apologize, to compliment, to reach out, to help.

Be Grateful – Learn to be always grateful for what you have achieved in your life. Don’t forget to be grateful as it is the key to positive way of life. A positive attitude attracts positive actions. Gratitude attracts positive energy.

Never Ever Quit – Keep learning, keep experiencing, keep trying, keep striving, keep setting goals. Quitting them could be frustrating. Thus, never ever quit your dreams.

Live For Today – Today is the only thing that is truly guaranteed and you will never have it again, so make it memorable and make it count. The end is really the beginning, that should not ever cease.

Life is a challenge and there is no age bar to learn and improve. At 63, I am more active than what I was at 50. I have had major surgery. I have severe3 backache problem too, but what keeps me going is my Positive frame of mind, a strong will and above all Grace of Almightily God. The world has become for me a better place than it used to be.

Be strong enough internally and ensure that Positive Attitude becomes part of your lifestyle. Take a decision to improve the quality of your life. Therefore, program your mind with a Positive Attitude to enjoy the journey.”
