< Go Back Ten tips to help you feel more positive and achieve greater results Posted: Sep 10, 2014 Tip 2 - Look for the positive in every situation.
When something
good happens most people find it easy to see the positives in the situation and
enjoy the experience. On the other hand,
when something that's not good happens it can be difficult to see anything
but negatives in the situation. However
the idiom 'every cloud has a silver lining' has more than a modicum of truth in
it and there is always something positive to be learnt or taken from every
situation - good or bad.
Looking for
the positives in everything means that when something goes wrong you view it as
positive feedback that is telling you either 1) something you are doing or allowing to
happen isn't working the way it should or 2) that you need to make some
changes. Once you understand
the positive feedback you are well on the way to identifying what is and what isn't
working, what could be changed and what opportunity you are being presented
with. Train your mind to be positive and
look for the lesson in every experience and, once you are able to focus on solutions
rather than problems, you'll find your whole life becomes more positive, more
productive and more rewarding.
