If you keep a negative attitude you will not win. I think being positive makes things go the way you want most of the time.
Being negative will only deepen bad feelings which will get you no where. Being positive is healthy and helps in so many ways, even can make illness better than it is, possibly curing it.
Thanks Tim. It's always difficult to be positive when we fail. As much as we know we must stay positive, a part of us gives up, particularly if we fail more times than we win. You're probably not alone on this one.
I tend to look at the bigger picture on what I'm dealing with, that always helps. If we work on the assumption that things happen for a reason and that there is always a bigger picture, we will have more reason to keep going.
Try to look forward and beyond what you're dealing with and you will move forward. I am a firm believer that works.
