The Power of Positive Thinking
versus
The Culture of Complaining
Success is likely to elude you if you don't cast the habit of complaining out of your orbit.
Many people grow up in a culture where it's shameful to be happy, different, positive or successful. If they are happy, people think there's something wrong with them. The defence mechanism these withered souls use is - COMPLAINING!
You know the ones I mean. They complain about the weather, about their children not being as advanced or as clever as the children next door. They complain about their health, their income - or lack there of - or about their boss or their car. Have you ever noticed that they never think they are to blame for their situation; it's always someone or something else to blame and 'Pass the Buck' is the name of the game.
Complaining is not a habit, it's a disease. It's also contagious, so avoid these people like the plague if you want to become or stay positive. It's a disease that knows no boundaries of culture, class or creed; if you catch it it's hard to cure.
“It seems to me that a degree of this criticism stems from a culture, which is nowadays too often concerned with complaining – the culture not of freedom linked with responsibility, but of everyone demanding their ‘rights’, whatever they may be, and blaming others when things go wrong.”
Prince Charles
He's so spot on, it's sad! It explains the mindset of the person who is little likely to succeed in life and goes about making himself miserable. To make it worse, he's not satisfied until everyone else about him is miserable too.
How can people even survive in a complaining culture? Not very well.I heard on the news today that the Health and Safety 'Police' want to stop dodgem-cars from bumping each other and children taking part in sack races.... What the Dickens is that for? So they can make sure everyone is as miserable as they are. Don't laugh - they could be after you next.
So, how hard is it to cure this complaining disease? Very difficult, but it's a challenge if you're up for it. It IS possible.
If you have made the decision to take up the challenge of living life to the fullest, then there is no room for complaining. You absolutely have to switch to positive thinking. In order to switch your mindset to a positive state, hard work, dedication and new paradigms are required. Don't be daunted by this though, and don''t expect a change to occur miraculously in the blink of an eye. Life doesn't work like that.
Have you noticed that when you worry about something happening to you, it's bound to happen? Negative thoughts manifest when you least want them to. Being afraid of bad things happening causes you to dwell on them, but please DON'T do this. Think rather of the good things you want to happen, of things that will make you happy and bring satisfaction into your life - and that's not making someone else miserable...
Changing your thoughts to happy, positive thoughts will make such a difference, more than you would ever think possible. It might be hard to learn to think positively, but give it a try. Spend 5 minutes every day thinking positive thoughts for three weeks and see what a change it makes in your life. By then it should have become a habit and you'll be doing it without thinking about it...
And remember, what you put into life comes back to you multiplied. If you spread the positivity around you, it gets bigger and bigger. Oh happy day! If you want good things coming your way in a flood, make a conscious decision to think positively and all those good things will be attracted to you.
HEY,
HAPPYNESS
is contagious too!
