It is most definitely the rough patches that help us to appreciate the great ups of life. Sometimes it is so hard to see the positive outcomes when you are stuck in a rut. Great advice for helping me get out of it though! It is so important not get bugged down! We live in a beautiful world.

Good tips to remember when we are going through a bad phrase.

A great article – for me this line: “The mistake that many people make is to value their life based upon their possessions or social status.” resonates so true. I spent my twenties chasing wealth so that I could be someone everyone admired and looked up to and I based my wealth creation on ego and greed – well you can imagine what happened. I ended up crashing into a massive heap not even sure how to put food on the table.

It was during those tough times that I had to realign myself – I started examining my motivations, verbalising as you recommend and looking for the good. Sometimes, all I had to be grateful for was that I had a bed to sleep in and a shirt on my back. Yet, I realised that there were many around the world who did not even have that. So looking for the good no matter how bad things get and verbalising how you feel are great antidotes to tough weeks and tough times.

Thank you for sharing,

Cheers, Niro

Hey Ralph,

Fantastic post and I love that Napolean Hill quote. I said something very similar to someone recently. We, being of this mindset, often get chastised by others when things don’t go well for us and we need to vent it but I realised recently just how important that is. Sometimes clarity can be found during the moments you’re telling someone about your bad day or week and that alone is worth so much for your own development.

Its so true, positive thinking does allow the feeling of goodness to transpire within our hearts and minds. Thinking good thoughts bring us the ability to get out of our negative slum. Being able to once again smile, with the weight lift off our shoulders.
