The Benefits Of Positive Thinking
Before the age of twenty-two I used to think I was one of the most unluckiest people in the world. My life seemed to be such a struggle compared to other people who seemingly breezed through life. I was caught up in a web of negativity and needed someone or something to help me to escape.
Then I met a man who was around fifty while working on a project at work, we were employed at a company which offered SEO services. We were having a chat one day when he stated that I was a depressive person who rarely smiled. What he said was quite upsetting and disturbing, however would have a profound effect on my future.
To say that this rocked me back on my heels would have been an understatement as my colleague continued; “You are Steve, you are a complete stress head and are never happy or positive about anything”.
This man was aged around fifty three and continued, I used to be like you and then I was given some advice, of which I am now going to relay to you. Start to watch and read the news when you start to feel the blues/become depressed. You may then realise that you are in fact one of the lucky ones.
I listened and thought about what he had said. I had never been a big reader or watcher of the news, but decided to start~For whatever reason the news has never really interested me however I decided that I would make the effort etc}. The advice was totally correct, the news from around the world and even my own country was quite shocking. It soon became evident that in reality I had very little to fret about – it was now time for a fresh approach to life – to think positively.
I now have a new career working with a group of cost reduction experts where I enable people to make cheap calls. I am pleased to report that I am now more than happy with “my lot” and that life is treating me good.
