Think Positive

 

Just about the beginning of this year, I read an article about gaining a positive attitude every month, where you start practicing a new positive habit for a whole month till you end up being naturally a positive person, and a year later..congratulations you’re a whole new person! 

Frankly, I’ve always envied those who can always look at the full half of their cup… you find them always happy with whatever challenges they face, they never complain about rainy days, they can find happiness in just about every little thing in life.. optimistic fellows. I’ve always hated them, envied them, but deep down I wanted to be one of them. 

I can’t really say that I intentionally tried to be more optimistic than realistic, or as some may say “pessimistic”, it really happened all of a sudden that I almost surprised myself! Being negatively realistic was more like a comforting excuse for all my failure experiences.. and as we all try to blame anything but ourselves for what we call a bad luck.. I was always happy to say “I saw this coming!”, but luckily I am surrounded by great people to lift me up when am feeling down, and among those great people, a very close friend who -vice versa- I try to be there for her when she's down, I guess we’re both lucky to have each other, and mostly ‘cause we don’t hit bottom at the same time!

I don’t really know how this happened, but I was really grateful for the change, I guess the deep desire of being a successful person (I am sure we all have this desire buried under a pack of disappointments and miseries) finally got me on the move. My part was to keep it up and going, although I still get negative thoughts every now and then to put me down, but whenever I get such a feeling I remind myself go back on track and to think positive, it’s not that easy but the result is really great. 

So for those who really know me, yes you may have already noticed the change, I am being more open to challenges, trying to be more optimistic and finally doing something good in my life! And for my close friend who I owe a big thank you, no words can describe my gratitude and happiness to finally find you..Nesreen :)
