The Positive Approach

Positive Approach
“Making things positive doesn't mean a sunny outlook; it means making the choice to see problems as opportunities. Every problem and difficult situation is embedded with a solution - the adventure lies in finding the solution.” ~ Brahma Kumaris
“Whether you think you can, or think you can't: you're right.” ~ Henry Ford
“In reflecting on the times of my life, it occurs to me that the difficult, arduous experiences always pass, or at least wane to a tolerable level. On the other hand, thankfully, the positive, uplifting aspects of my life journey seem to hold strong and steady throughout, as long as I appreciate and nurture them.” ~ David L. Weatherford
“When anything happens in life there's a 3-step approach to handling it:
  1. It is what it is. Accept it.
  2. Harvest the good; there's good in everything.
  3. Forgive all the rest.”
~ Michael Beckwith
“In my work I have chosen the positive approach. I never think of myself as protesting against something, but rather as witnessing for harmonious living. Those who witness for, present solutions. Those who witness against, usually do not - they dwell on what is wrong, resorting to judgment and criticism and sometimes even name-calling. Naturally, the negative approach has a detrimental effect on the person who uses it, while the positive approach has a good effect” ~ Peace Pilgrim
“Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning, of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.” ~ Marianne Williamson
Positive Approach
Richard Branson: Apparently there are people in this world who choose to see the glass half empty instead of half full. However, being an eternal optimist, I’m sure we can win them around. Personally, I see any glass half full as an opportunity to top it up, start a conversation and perhaps spark a great new idea. Being positive helps in every aspect of life, but it is so easy to forget what an impact it can have.

“Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough.” ~ Richard M. DeVos
“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.” ~ Willie Nelson
“Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. It's the best part of the day.” ~ George Allen, Sr.
“Your attitude is like a box of crayons that colour your world. Constantly colour your picture grey, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colours to the picture by including humour, and your picture begins to lighten up.” ~ Allen Klein
“You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.” ~ Maya Angelou
“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.” ~ William James
