Positive Thinking!?

Ok this is something I haven't quite gotten the grasp of... like everyone I know always says t hink positive and good things will happen... the way you think about life and circumstances affects the outcome of whats to happen a great deal... is that really true? Alot of people say positive thinking has worked and made things happen the way they want to... but for some reason I can't do it... i'll be positive and hopeful for like two days and if I dont see any change ill start freaking out like oh my God ok so this just isnt meant to be etc. etc... and then i get depressed cuz I think my pessimism is gonna make life even crazier... so what exactly is the trick? How do you have such strong hope for life and things without letting in to doubts or whatever? I know its a little ambiguous the way i wrote it but if anyone understands please help me out. Thanks

1. Yeah, if you really think positively, then the chances of that event turning out positively will be higher than if you though pessimistically. I think it's human nature to be skeptical or pessimistic. It's just a matter of lowering the degree of negativity and allowing the positivity to flow in. So when you find yourself thinking negatively, FORCE yourself to think otherwise for at least x amount of time. It could make all the difference. Plenty of people also attest to this. It won't hurt to try, except if things really don't work out well, you'll be able to develop a harder outer shell.

2. Yes, it works and even if good things don't happen as a result of being postive - it's OK. You find a way to deal with it.

I had a instinctual negative feeling about everything and I had to work on myself a lot. I kept reminding myself that my life is a gift and the things I have are all gifts. Some people don't have half of what I have. I just had to learn to be grateful for the good luck I had and the good things I had in life. I realized that other unwanted emotions came with being negative - fear, regret, self hatred, it can be very overwhelming. Did I want to be consumed by these feelings - NO WAY!

And you know what, no one wants to be around a negative person. My husband for one hates that attitude.

3. enjoy the moment u r in yr present the day u have in yr credit weeks u are lucky tohave& so on ---- to yr maximum.this is the definition oe positive thinking.

4. thinking positive is only gonna get you so far. you have to actually work at it. and i mean through your actions. but you may also need a paradigm shift. which is the way you view something. your view may be incorrect of what is really going on and that can make it hard to stay positive. it's like trying to find your way around los angeles with a map of new york. no matter how positive you are if you have the wrong map you will never get where you want to be.

5. It simply be because you're only thinking positive with the hopes that it's going to bring positive results in everything.

Mental and emotional positivity is looking on the bright side of every outcome, not being affected by negativity.
You've identified pretty well what your problem is.
Pessimism.
You're positive that something won't work out the way you want it to.
How about you just let go of all fear and doubt, and leave it to destiny to decide the outcome of your life, because lets face it, we can't control every nuance of our existence.

Try looking at things in a Karmic attitude. You can't get something for nothing.

6. Positive thinking is not that you just hope you'll get something soon or something will change soon. It's not right!
When you wanna change it's because you don't like what you have now. And positive thinking about your situation is revaluating it finding good and bright sides of the situation.
But if you not content with your situation you needn't deceive yourself trying yourself to believe everything is OK. Positive thinking in this situation is to be sure you can change the situation!!! It won't change itself because of your positive thinking and silly hopes. YOU WILL CHANGE IT. Set an aim, make a plan to achieve it and CARRY OUT YOUR PLAN!
You won't miss you chance if you come and take it, it won't come to you itself.
