have a positive, confident, optimistic attitude to life

I want to learn how to have a positive outlook in my life and improve my surroundings not to have bad thoughts How can i do this can anyone help me on this? from starburst

I’m struggling with this personal goal. This year has been tough and I have grappled with so many things. Discovering that my Mom has Alzheimer’s and being her caregiver for the first half of the year. And then we found out that my biological ‘father’ was dating a 33 year old who is only after him for monetary reasons. Needless to say, I’m doing my best to keep my chin ‘up’ with all of this and more, and my intrinsic motivation comes from the thought that my Mom wouldn’t want me to give up and just collapse into a heap of tears. She’d want me to be the strong and independent woman she raised all of her daughters to be. Tough-as-nails-Texan-Women who can rise above the ashes. That, along with an understanding husband, keeps me going.

This is good advice, but it is easier said than done…
Relax your mind and get beyond the noise of worries, frustrations, strife and conflict.

Cause sometimes I’m just to bloody depressed and tired and….. I dunno, probably self absorbed…. I mean it must be the only reason I would feel the way I sometimes feel. My career has gone really fast upwards… I get to travel a lot, meet amazing people, grow as a professional and save money. I should just learn how to isolate those thoughts that bother me, figure out why they bother me and find out what I can physically do to make it disappear…

Friends on 43 Things:

I have read about many people on 43 Things trying to lose weight. Even though I do have that problem, I thought this article may help someone gain some inspiration in that battle. Please cut and paste the link and send to as many people that may need a boost.

Also, other articles can be found on their website. Take care.

If we are interdependent with everything and everyone, even our smallest, least significant thought, word, and action have real consequences throughout the universe.

Throw a pebble into a pond. It sends a shiver across the surface of the water. Ripples merge into one another and create new ones. Everything is inextricably interrelated: We come to realize that we are responsible for everything we do, say, or think, responsible in fact for ourselves, everyone and everything else, and the entire universe.

Yes, I want to always have a positive, confident, and optimistic attitude and outlook in my life. No worries, no fears, no bad thoughts. This is a wonderful dream to have and by embracing it here my accepting this on 43 Things, now I have to make it work.

I wake up happy and ready for the day to come. To always be worried about how much money or where will the money come from is not the way to solve this problem.

The real test is to have a positive plan of attack to solve these complex life questions and take action to complete these goals. It will be hard work but, I welcome the challenges that lay ahead of me in the near future.
