What’s wrong with men and women today?
Hello-
Do you know what’s wrong with men and women today?
They simply don’t think…
Or if they do think, they are thinking about the wrong things.
This is what keeps you down, depressed, poor, overweight, desperate and lonely.
When you think about “what else can go wrong?” in your life then do not be surprised when more things do go wrong. If all you think about is bad things and depressing things, that is what your world will be.
If you watch the news everyday with all the negative things they show, you’re going to be disappointed.
Do you wake up in the morning and say “thank you!” that you woke up or are you in a rush because you overslept and now you’re late for work and taking the kids to school?
Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Are you grateful for what you do have instead of what you do not have?
I could go on and on…
The secret of successful living is to be a realistic optimist. Everything is not going to go swell in your life. No one said it would. But if you laugh, smile, and look on the bright side of things, your view of the world will improve.
When you think about things you want to happen in your life instead of what you don’t want to happen and focus on those things, you may be surprised about the good that comes from it.
If all you worry about is your bills and not having enough money to pay them all, well, that’s all you’ll have. More bills than money.
This stuff isn’t new. I didn’t come up with it. I learned it from listening to CDs like the Strangest Secret, The Magic of Believing, The Magic of Thinking Big, and other inspirational books and tapes.
I don’t have the best situation in the world either.
I still have plenty of things I need to work on.
But by keeping a smile on my face and laughing when a new challenge comes my way, I’m better prepared to deal with those challenges. I don’t call problems problems. I call problems challenges.
People want to rise up and beat a challenge. To me, it’s more positive.
Dealing with problems doesn’t sound like fun.
Have a great day!
-Adam

hi, i just dont know how when your down, really down, u can wake up in the morning and say ‘thank you’,, i just dont think its as easy as that! The world is full of bad and horrible things, and many of us are faced with these issues every day, hence it is hard to escape them, and hard to have a big smile on your face! I try the optimism approach, but thats rubbish, there are far to many worries to contend with;i have a degree in HR & am struggling to find work, job hunting these days is a full time job, and so is the preperation for interviews-to get refusals, or no reply at all!!! ’skint’, have wee boy nearly 3 and wondering where our future can possibly take us, there is far to much of a distinction between rich and poor! bills, the system hounding you, beauracracy, peoples attitudes of today, no respect, being alone, the government phhhh, and the people in it making decisions eh!!!what is happening! famous people are kids idols of today, why? - they are rich and pompus and are certainly not role models!!??, advertisers use sex to sell,hmmm deary me!! lying cheating, and not only from your average joe, but from people in positions of authority, its a scandal!! What are we teaching our kids! hahaha eastenders/coronation street - what alot of bo**ocks, full of the worst storylines, is that real life??perhaps!!!!!!-why dont they adopt the optimism approach and advertise possitivity and decency, rather than affairs and how to bare all!teach familys how to stay together, how to treat each other properly… its not a great place to be sometimes, its an overcomplicated harsh world, unlness you’ve got money!! that turned into a rant, and im only 29!!!! Thanks, or should i say sorry. g
