Living A More Positive Life

Living A More Positive Life

Author:

To live a more positive life is the desire of many people throughout the world. However, some people seem to defeat themselves before they even get started by adopting many unconscious behaviors.

We Choose

For some people, for example, they start off the day by unconsciously choosing to feed their minds with many self-defeating behaviors. One of these behaviors is to launch their day with chaos caused by tuning their radios into morning radio shows that only offer the latest world news events and local traffic reports.

Some of these programs seem to inadvertently take their listeners into a whirl wind of issues and concerns. If and when these stations offer music, it all seems to drive thoughts of busyness rather than positive and inspirational melodies.

Positive Ways

There are other ways to start our day off with a positive and inspirational message and this becomes a conscious choice such as what is offered by “Dare2BU”.

Positive Music

A few months ago I wrote an article featuring Jennie Emery. The article is titled Positive Music.

As a result of writing that article, I was contacted by Chris S. Salazar, from Dare2BU. I must say I was very pleased when I reviewed his website and found more positive music; music that is rich and uplifting.

“The mind grows by what it feeds on.” Those words of wisdom are so very true. Our minds take in everything we read and listen to. Books we read, music we listen to; it all influences our lives.

There are a lot of positive books available, however, positive music is not as plentiful. So needless to say I was delighted with the Dare2BU website! I now have two of the CD’s from the site: Songs of Success (my favorite!) Dream Big (also good)

I agree with the thoughts on the Dare2BU website which is below taken directly from their website:

“There are numerous examples of people throughout the world who have overcome handicaps to achieve great success. One thing separates these winners from those who fail: they disregard any and all obstacles. These people-and all winners-possess the will to win. It’s a will that starts with a belief in our ability to achieve the goals we dream of accomplishing.

Unfortunately, the world does not provide much inspiration on a daily basis. From the reporting of mostly negative news, to a “20% chance of rain” mentality, to music that tells us that love must be a painful experience, most people have few daily reminders that they can obtain personal and professional greatness without having to win the lottery.

Music is by far the most wonderful methods we have to remind us each day of the power of personal accomplishment. And now, finally, the music industry has a new type of record company; one that is intensely dedicated to producing songs that inspire us all to accomplish great things.”

Editors note: it is with regret that I update this thought to advise that unfortunately the website http://www.dare2bu.com/ is no longer live on the internet, but we feel the message they were conveying are still a valid one!

Even though the Dare2BU website is now gone it does not mean that we can’t surround ourselves with positive and uplifting music nor does it mean that we can’t fill our minds with inspirational messages through books, articles and positive messages found on many websites.

Nourish Your Mind With Positive Thoughts

Below find thoughts about the differences of being a winner and being a loser. Living a more positive life comes down to attitude and action. Which attitude do you display – winning or losing?

The Difference Between Winning and Losing
by Catherine Pulsifer

Some of the significant differences between winning and losing are:

Hanging on, persevering,
WINNING
Letting go, giving up easily,
LOSING

Accepting responsibility for your actions,
WINNING
Always having an excuse for your actions,
LOSING

Taking the initiative,
WINNING
Waiting to be told what to do,
LOSING

Knowing what you want and setting goals to achieve it,
WINNING
Wishing for things, but taking no action,
LOSING

Seeing the big picture, and setting your goals accordingly,
WINNING
Seeing only where you are today,
LOSING
Adopt a WINNING attitude!

The Workings of a Successful Mind
by Devin McMillan, ©2010

The powers of the mind are not fixed
and science can never explain
What makes a person a success
yet leaves another so mundane
For whatever the mind can conceive
with enough thought it will deliver
There is no goal too extreme
when your mind is a benevolent giver
Take risks in your daily life
or you can conform like the rest
Since rewards are only granted to
those who have passed this test
Know that you have the power
to succeed in numerous ways
Or you can play it safe
being mediocre for all of your days
So keep positive in all you do
wielding your list of goals in hand
Fear not what others say
just focus on your plan
Enjoy every breath that passes
and every task there is to do
Since your actions will only play
the goals you have placed in cue
And always remember to gift
a little of everything you make
For life is defined by giving
and never by what you take.
