You can't live A POSITIVE LIFE thinking negative thoughts. Dwell on the POSITIVE.
When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They're sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.
To become a better you, you must be positive towards yourself, develop better relationships, embrace the place where you are.
I like to think my dad was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and hopeful. He was compassionate, and I've got a lot of that in me as well.
When the negative thoughts come - and they will; they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people.
Before you leave the house, you need to make up your mind that you’re going to stay positive and enjoy the day no matter what comes your way. You have to decide ahead of time.
God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.
If you cannot be positive, then at least be quiet.
Just because we're in a STRESSFUL situation doesn't mean that we have to get stressed out. You may be in the storm. The key is, don't let the storm get in YOU.
If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.
You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
