RE: Toxic People Are Good For You

in #life7 years ago

The idea behind positive thinking is that you create in yourself the ultimate person that you want to be. You present yourself to others as you want them to see you. It is basically the same idea as self confidence, but too many people pick up a "positive self-help" guide and expect it to help them the way that that 6 disc series on weight loss helped them.It doesn't work that way. You have to change your OWN WAY OF THINKING to help yourself. That's all that positive thinking is. People turned it into some stupid fad. "Know thyself" is more powerful, and you seem to have that down no problem ;)

I don't think is that easy to change one's way of thinking. This is why all attempts to do so ultimately fail.

No, you are right, changing one's way of thinking is very hard. It takes discipline and the desire to make a change in the first place.
