Are You a Positive or Negative Thinker?

Learn About - and Change - How You Think
"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." Mahatma Gandhi.
"Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will." Zig Ziglar - Personal development guru.
These are two powerful quotes. Combined, they tell us that if we think positively, we’re likely to enjoy positive results. Negative thinking, on the other hand, can lead to outcomes that we don’t want. Positive and negative thoughts can become self-fulfilling prophecies: What we expect can often come true. If you start off thinking that you'll mess up a task, the chances are that you will: You may not try hard enough to succeed, you won't attract support from other people, and you may not perceive any results as good enough. Positive thinking, on the other hand, is often associated with positive actions and outcomes. You have hope and faith in yourself and others, and you work and invest hard to prove that your optimism is warranted. You'll enthuse others, and they may well pitch in to help you. This makes constructive outcomes all the more likely.
When it comes down to it, positive, optimistic people are happier and healthier, and enjoy more success than those who think negatively. The key difference between them is how they think about and interpret the events in their life.
