being Positive? (1 Viewer)

[69^boi]

Do many people believe if you think positive, you get positive things happening, and vice versa with negative?

Optimism vs Pessimism = Optimism for teh win.

A lot of professional athletes say that positive visualisation is a huge part of their preperation/training.

i wonder how it works? if you always think of the positives of any situation, and then the worst happens, surely you will remember each time, how positive thinking doesnt work, and you'll become a more and more negative person.

Apparently there is a science behind it... cybernetics or something.

I'm not entirely sure I believe there is a direct, causal relationship between positive thinking and positive results, however I believe that when you think positively, you are more open to good things happenning...I believe you make your own luck, and this has the capacity to be greatly influenced by your state of mind and whether or not you choose to think positively.

I believe that and I try to follow this theory. But you know, sometimes it just doesn't work

 

[shortygb]

not all the time...so sometimes i guess.

By the way, what is your point of view? Do you try to follow this theory?

If you think positively, you would probably intepret everything that happens as positive (you lose your wallet, you think "It's a learning experience... don't do that next time!"). And if you think negativey, you probably would intepret everything as negative (i.e. you win the lottery "It's all going to be gone one day, I'd better not have too much fun and save it all!").

when i think negative, that is, i think of all the bad things that may happen in a certain situation, it usually turns out for the better.

when i think in a positive way and fail to consider all the factors surrounding a situation, it usually DOES happen. This pisses me right off!

being pessimistic is just being realistic.

Being positive is a frame of mind.

Being pessimistic is a sign of weakness.

People who dont understand probably never will. Leave them to think they have to choose between wisdom and happyness, they will never have either.

I like this statement!
