The concept of getting what you want in life, of offering value and filling needs, is not limited to self-employed entrepreneurs. It applies just as strongly to employees, workers, professionals and anyone who earns a paycheck. Employers everywhere are searching for leaders, the 20 percent who step up, make decisions, take responsibility and rise above the crowd. These are the people who do not just show up for a paycheck, they show up with purpose.
If negative thinking made things better, then we would all go out and take a course on it. Better yet, negative people would be happy. But they are not. Negative thinking NEVER helps. It NEVER makes things better. There is nothing positive about negative thinking. Negative thinking is the shovel that digs the hole deeper and deeper with every negative thought and every negative habit. Ditch the shovel.
One of the quickest ways to suck the joy out of life is comparing yourself to others.
“If I could just have what they have, I would be happy.”
“If I looked like that, I would be happy.”
“If I could live like them, I would be happy.”
Sound familiar? Most of us have said a version of these lines at some point in our lives. But here is the truth, the only thing you can do better than anyone else in the world is be yourself. You are unique, one of a kind. The mold was broken when you were born, so why waste your time trying to be a copy of someone else?
Relationships can be the greatest source of happiness, or the deepest pit of misery. Few things influence your daily mood, mindset, and even your physical health more than the people you spend time with. Whom you surround yourself with matters more than most people ever realize.
Want to change the direction of your day instantly? Smile. It sounds almost too simple, like a slogan on a motivational poster, but science backs it up. When you smile, even if you do not feel like it, your body responds. Your brain releases dopamine and endorphins. Stress hormones drop. Your muscles relax. Your heart rate settles. And just like that, your mood begins to shift.
