This may sound a wee bit strange to you? But, I want you to listen to your thoughts ? and now tell me, what kind of thoughts fill your head? Would you label them as positive or negative?

Now let?s say you are walking down the street with these thoughts. Do you think anyone you met would be able to tell you what?s on your mind?

Although people will not necessarily be able to tell you exactly what you are thinking, they will more or less get an idea of how you are feeling.

Here?s another question. When you enter a room filled with friends, do they all go quiet as if something terrible had happened? Or do they all perk up as if something exciting is happening or about to take place?

To be honest, the answer to these question depend upon your frame of mind and what you are feeling when you enter that room.

Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your attitude, your outward appearance and they send out a signal to others of you being available to communicate with or not!

Your attitude can also affect people around you.

Positive thoughts have a nurturing effect. They are definitely invigorating. ?Also, the people around the person carrying positive thoughts are usually energized by this kind of attitude.

Negative thoughts on the other hand have a draining effect on other people. Aside from making you appear gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a gloom-fest!

A positive attitude attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude.

We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on what?s wrong in the world, you?ll have a negative attitude percolating. However, if you choose to focus on what?s good, positive and uplifting, you are more likely to have a positive attitude.

A positive attitude begins with a healthy self-image. If you love the way you are and are satisfied, confident, and self-assured, you also make others around you feel the same way about themselves and you.

Although it is impossible to keep ourselves from the negative things around us, you can still carry a positive attitude by focusing on the good things, the positive things in life. It?s also very important to recognize that for every *bad* thing to exist, there is a *good* thing of equal size in existence? one needs the other to exist!

By carrying a positive attitude you can be of benefit to other people. Sometimes when other people feel down, the thing many people do is try to give them advice. But sometimes, all they need is somebody to sit by them, and listen to them. If you have a positive attitude you may be able to help them without even having to say anything.

If you feel overwhelmed by troubles, even in your darkest hour, focus on the good things in your life, you will always have hope. Problems become something you can overcome.

You don?t have anything lose by adopting a healthy, positive attitude. Studies show that such an attitude actually slow the aging process down, makes you healthier, helps you develop better stress coping strategies, and has a very positive effect on all the people you meet every day.

So, what?s not to like about a positive attitude? Adopt one today!
