Well my mantra to life is also on the same principal of being positive. My belief is that thinking optimistic about anything with send positive signals to God and that thing is surely going to happen.
During college days when my friends use to be nervous about the result I use to be very cool and be positive about my result. If my papers have gone well my result will surely be very good. As an impact my friends use to be always jealous of me thinking how I can remain so cool at the time of results. I didn't expect miracles to happen, but whatever I have done I will be paid for that by God. And my theory of optimism always paid off good results for me.
There was another situation, during my campus placements, when all the toppers were bagging good jobs every day, and we average students were left with nothing. But I was very positive that I will bag one of the best jobs. Staying positive in such difficult situations surely impacts from within which shows in the body language of the person and helps to stay calm and composed. And then I was able to crack the interview of one the best paying companies and got a good placement. All my friends were really surprised that I got such a good placement. Later when I asked the HR why did you selected me, he said that he could sense the confidence within me with my body language and facial expressions. That moment made my optimistic approach more strong. When all other had lost hope of getting job, I stayed positive and finally was able to achieve what I wanted.
I am really a very optimistic person. I always try to think positive or bring some positive angles to situations which had gone wrong for me. For example, if I see my today's situation where I am about to quit my job and take a break for few years due to some personal constraints and to look after my 2 year old kid. Though it’s a very difficult decision for me, I am thinking positive about it. I have been working for last 10 years nonstop with very hectic schedules. And after having kid, managing home and work was very tiresome for me. I didn’t wanted my schedules to impact my kid and so this break will give some time to rest and spend some quality time with my kiddo.
After leading a very busy life I know initially it will be very difficult for me adjust in this new lifestyle, but again if I think positive I can now spend more time in kitchen and do lots and lots of cooking which I love a lot. I will get some time look after my home which I was not able to give while I was working.
So even though I am losing something, this situation has filled a lot of optimism in me. May be it’s a signal from God that there is something good stored for me in future. Being optimistic releases half of my tensions and help me to have a positive outlook for the future.
I would like to just say one thing to my readers that be optimistic and think positive. Don’t ever bring negative thoughts in your mind. If you think positive, you will definitely see positive impact in your attitude towards life which will surely give positive results.
