GET POSITIVE !

Another quote for you today..... and a pretty topical one too.

"Whenever God wants to give us a gift, he wraps it up in a problem".
(Norman Vincent-Peale)

Do you know someone who always seems to see the best in people?
Someone who seems to be able to make the best of a difficult situation?
One who can look beyond the immediate problem and start to find the solution?

I hope that you do. The world needs more of them.
Are they just lucky? Do bad things just not happen to them?
Of course not. They get their share of adversity just like everybody else - they've just learned how to handle it differently. They don't spend their time wallowing and wondering "why me" but instead look for what they can learn from any given situation.

What can we learn from people like this and how can we use what they do to help us? In NLP this is known as modelling. It means looking closely at the behaviours and characteristics of a successful person and adopting them yourself as a fast-track way to achieving success.

We can start by adopting a positive mental attitude. Whatever you feel like inside, put a smile on your face. It makes you feel a bit better inside doesn't it? People will smile back too and that'll start to lift your spirits. Look out for what's good in your world and look for what you can change. Deciding to be happy and taking control of your life really are possible for you - however you feel right now. You really do have a choice in this. Don't be a victim - stand up and take control of your own destiny.
