"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
-Winston Churchill
We all experience difficulties in life. We all face challenges that hinder our thoughts to think positively. Sometimes, it's just not easy to be positive when you have a mountain of problems trying to bury you alive. But, thinking positive will help you to stay calm while trying to get back up from that mountain of crisis you are facing. It will not be easy but you can surely make it.
People use to see only the walls in life. But those walls are only a disguise and in reality, they were the gates that if you unlock it will open the doors of opportunities. And that can change everything.
Change your thoughts because that thought becomes things.
What you feed in your mind will soon be a reality. If you keep thinking about all the problems in your life, you will get more problems. You are attracting it in your life by thinking more of it. Shift your thoughts. Instead of thinking more of problems why not think of possible solutions?
It is the law of attraction.
You attract what you are focusing on. Our mind is so powerful that it can translate all those thoughts and become things eventually. Think positive things, and positive things come to you. Think negative and negative things you will get for sure. And it's not the universe, it is you and you alone are responsible for that.
Like attracts like. You, yourself is a magnet.
You're not just a magnet. You are the universe's most powerful magnet! You can attract what you want through your thoughts. And so with that power, you have the magic in you to turn it into your liking and advantage. Why would you want to attract the bad if that's the case?

Take my own experiences
One day, I feel sad. As I feel sad, I keep on supplying sad thoughts on my head. I'm thinking of all the things that make me feel bad. I even play sad music to keep it going. And then from sad, I got upset. I started watching a sad movie that eventually made me cry. Then what happens? I broke a glass. I burnt the rice for dinner. I shouted at my kids for nothing. I feel so sorry doing that.
Then I learned this shifting of thoughts.
Now, instead of thinking unhappy thoughts when I'm sad, I think of happy moments. I read funny jokes. I put my best dress on. I look into the mirror and compliment myself and the best one is instead of listening to sad music I played music that uplifts and makes me happy.
I always play George Ezra, G.R.L or ItaloBrothers songs! They're amazing!
There's this another instance that I didn't wake up on time and will be late for work. So I crammed and so pissed the water run out while I'm taking a shower. Still mad and trying to rush, my shoe heels broke! Like really? Everything goes wrong. I ride on a jeep and the jeep stops telling all the passenger that the tire was flat. Is it just a coincidence that I experience all of that one after another? No, I did it, I shouted to the universe that I'm mad and it did give me more to get mad about.
So, what could I've done that day that can make the difference?
I was late anyway, I shouldn't have to rush. I should just take my time. Deep breathe smile and do what I normally do. I couldn't possibly break my heels if I'm being careful. It could have been stopped immediately if I shift my thoughts.
Another story. There's that day, I only have Php10 left in my pocket. The Php8 is for the jeepney fare going home so I'm left with 2 pesos. You know I was smiling with that 10 pesos as if it's my fortune. I wasn't sad that that's the only money I have because I always say to myself, I will never be empty and that God will provide.
I was going to the mall at that time when I saw an old woman in the street begging. I don't know why, but I gave everything I've got. I give the Php10 left in my wallet. I wasn't thinking that I will have to walk for miles to get home.
The old woman was so pleased, all smile and told me "God bless you, ineng!" I was happy too seeing how a small amount of money can make her smile widely. And so I went inside the mall, not even walking far, here lying on the floor just in front of me a Php1000 bill flat not crumpled. And it seems so invisible for everyone who walking pass it. And so I pick it up.
I ask myself, is it yours? No. Gave it back. To who? To the information. I went to the information and she told me to keep it. I don't know why but I know they take whatever in case someone inquires for any found items. But she told me to keep it and I was like??? I gave Php10 and received Php1000! That blew my mind.
How could I possibly attract it?
Because I was grateful for that small money when others feel bad about having not much. I appreciate what I have and feel good about it so I sending the signal to the universe, come give me more to be grateful for!
Do you see what I mean now? How magical our thoughts are? How a simple shift of thinking can make everything goes your way? And of course, I know there are more complicated scenarios which seems impossible and I'm here to tell you, there's none!
Create your day in advance with that magical positivity trick. And see how it works wonders!
Thank you and have a magical day full of positivity! 😃
