| Positive Mind, Successful Life |
It took me a long time to realize the benefits of positive thinking. I had often heard people mention that if you think positive things will happen to you, I used to think they were a bit weird. I now believe they were right, and this article explains why.
Growing up through the difficult teenage years and into my early twenties, I felt very sorry. I had a bald patch the size of a ten-pence piece on my head, a speech impediment(stutter), overweight to the point of being fat, and short for a male(5ft4). I used to think I was the unluckiest person in the world.
I believed that I received more mickey taking out of me than anyone else, and life was certainly a struggle. To meet members of the opposite sex when you lack confidence and have a speech impediment is not easy. To gain work, order drinks, socialize in general were all difficult for me. Everyone else seemingly breezed and eased their way through life.
One day I was at work, and a colleague of mine who was about thirty years older than me commented that I was a very depressive person. I disagreed with him and was quite shocked; most people worried and stressed about things. He stated that I was always pessimistic about most things in life, constantly moaning about this or that, and very rarely smiled. He said that he had used to be like me, always depressed, moody, and stressed until he was given some advice when he was thirty. He then proceeded to provide me with the same direction.
THE ADVICE:
When you feel down, depressed, and sorry for yourself, watch the news and read the newspapers, and you will see that there are many people worse off than you and that you are one of the lucky ones.
I thought about this and started to follow what he had said. I now realize how stupid I had been. To be born and live in the UK, I am one of the lucky ones.
