I have always believe in having faith, in thinking positively and in being blessed with good luck, good fortune always. It’s because whenever things seem to be going wrong, it will somehow straighten itself out within a week or two for me.
One of my ex-colleagues too has being having a good life with everything smooth sailing until she loses her job early this year. She couldn’t believe that finding a job is so difficult for her as she has all the relevant experiences in that particular field. After exploring with countless headhunters, even to the point of going into Jobstreet for her senior level, she is now sinking into depression for the first time in her life.
I try to console her with the only believe that I think will work.
I believe that each and every one of us will somehow experience a down time in our life at least once, if not a couple of times. And I can only encourage those that are experiencing this down time to stay motivated by thinking of this one key point.
Think Positive! Stay Positive!
I believe that a positive mind will radiate a positive aura around you. A positive aura in turn will somehow attract good luck to you. And this good luck will attract all the positive opportunities to you.
Just as joyful people attract laughter and happiness. This theory works the same with thinking and staying positive.
Some of you might say, it’s easier said then done. This I agreed. It is very difficult to keep feeling positive after receiving negative news for each interview that you had thought was a good interview.
Hence, the trick to staying positive is to turn negative thoughts away the minute you realize you are thinking negative thoughts. It is not easy to switch your thoughts immediately but with consciousness and persistency, you will eventually master this.
It’s almost like meditation. When a thought arises, you are suppose to just notice the thoughts, to know that you are thinking and to try to get back to meditation again.
As always ‘practice makes perfect.’ Hence, with a conscious thought, you will eventually train your mind to think positive, thus to stay positive.
To all that are going through ‘down times’ now, may you all be blessed to overcome this soon and to be well and happy, well and happy, well and happy. God Bless. Amen.
In parting, here's 'How to train your brain to stay positive.'

Great article. It's not easy to stay positive when bad things just keep happening. Anyone ever encounter such bad luck? just had my handbag snatched a week ago. And I got news that my good friend is now suffering from breast cancer too. And just yesterday, my mom had a fall. I asked myself 'What is happening to me?'
ReplyDeleteHi Tessie, thank you for sharing. Sorry to hear of your unfortunate incidences. That's this belief that everything happens for a reason. So maybe these things happened to ward off or avert more serious things. The other alternative is to think of all those other people who are more unfortunate. Though it's not good to compare but it does helps you to realise that you are very fortunate compare to others. As the advice - it's all temporary. Am sure you have experienced all kind of different feelings within a short few minutes. One minute you happy and laughing and the next something happened and your feelings changed to either sad, angry, etc. That's why good things don't last forever - appreciate it and be grateful. And bad things - it'll all ends. Just Think & Stay Positive.
DeleteTessie, remember this. "Everything in life is temporary, if things are going good, enjoy it.. If things are going bad, don't worry, it won't last forever either." Look at the bright side. You are not hurt - just lost your handbag. Lots of breast cancer women are still living. Your mom's fall not too bad I hope? It will pass. Have faith. Think good thoughts. Take care.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agreed to staying positive. Friends, Family, Relatives, they starts avoiding you when you are down too long. Bullshit to all these. All are just gloating on your failures. While they fucking secretly telling themselves that they are lucky they aren't like me. Good luck. It's you yourself finally. All those shitty friends and family - they can go to hell. I cursed them to experience what I did.
