focus on the positive

I too want to focus on the positive and encourage others around me to do so as well. That’s why I started a company and website called Focus Eleven (www.focuseleven.com). It’s a place to share stories about positive thinking and purchase products that can help you and your loved ones remember to look at the bright side of any situation. I got the idea from a life philosophy of my grandfather who always found the silver lining, especially as his health started to fail. Now we try to help others do the same through the products we sell and the online community we have created. We are also on Facebook so look us up and join our passion for positive thinking!

most people dont realize it, but sometimes i tend to look for the worst possible outcome, and end up scareing myself. i dont like to think of myself as a pessimist persay, but more like a realist. but the point is, i just want to become a optimist; plain and simple.

focusing on the negative. I admire positive, happy-go-lucky people but I just really struggle to be one. I know I have a wonderful life, successful career, loving family and partner, yet I am just so quick to get pissed off about things. I have tendencies for getting over-emotional about things, and have suffered with mild depression in the past, but I classify myself as a fairly intelligent person who should be able to rationilise my thoughts. I should be able to see what a good life I have and start enjoying every day. Don’t get me wrong, I can be happy, it’s just that the negativity, once it gets in, is so hard to shift! Help!

I can focus on the positive. The trouble is that I don’t stay
focused for long periods of time. I have really had some mind
blowing things happen, however, I have discoverd negative ideas
are deeply rooted in my thinking.

The “POSITIVE” side of my short term focus is I am now able to
see my negative side. I am more postive then before and I am
more aware of my negative patterns.

So… Cheers to being positive.

Sometimes I focus on the negative.. I shd try focussing on the positive side of life.

The last few weeks have been a huge change. I am seeing more things that I can do than not do. Nothing in the world has changed. I just am able to see the positive side of finding things that work.

It seems to build energy. I find I have the ability to see how to do things. Before I seemed to get all wrapped up in the “bullshit.” Well, now I just kind of step to the side of pile of shit and smell the fresh air above.

Oh, have no worries, I still struggle with my old negative way of seeing things, but each day I am able to enjoy the positive side of life, or at least a way that works for me.

Live is grand. I wonder where this path leads…?

I have been able to focus on the positive at work. Lately, a couple of really crazy things have happened. I stayed positive about them. In time both things became very positive changes in my day to day work.

I think that if I create a negative thought, I have then created a positive ideal. A positive ideal that is only the result of creating a negative.

Both times this week I didn’t see the changes as negative or positive. I just saw them. Then after a couple of days I came to create a positive way of seeing them.

I have also added a positive practice to my Yoga. I spend time each day thinking of positive things in my life. Things are going great with this goal.

I have a talent. I see the negative of most things.
Most things seem poorly thought out to me.
However, I think life is what I make it.
I will dig for the positive.
This is going to be hard for me.

I have a tremendously loving and supportive family. They really are a blessing and I should make more of an effort to demonstrate to them just how much I appreciate them.

The past couple of months have been really difficult and I notice I am always on edge because of it. I know I am sensitive right now and I just have to focus on all the good things in my life that have not been impacted by the terrrible things that have occured. It is hard to explain this to people who wonder why I am always grumpy or angry right now, so I have to work on my own attitude.
