Key #4: Positivity

Remember, everything that happens to us mostly takes place in our minds and how we feel about those things will determine how we react to them. The outcome is always our choice.

Positivity is essential. We have two ways to view our experiences; positively or negatively. It is truly our choice, and our choice will completely affect the outcome of any given situation. It’s a simple question: Do we want a positive or negative outcome? Our state of being will determine it.

Let’s set up our state of being scale.

To the left is negativity, in the middle is neutral, and to the right is positivity.

Now, place yourself in any given situation or circumstance. It may be positive or negative, but what really matters is where your state of being is. If the situation seems negative and your state of being is negative you are much closer to a negative outcome. The same is true is the other direction. However, there are other effects on the situation. If the situation seems negative and your state of being is positive you are further from a negative outcome. The same is also true is the other direction. Obviously there can be other factors involved but you state of being will determine your outcome. Your outcome meaning; how you feel about the situation or react to it. Your reaction can create a positive or negative contribution to the situation.
