When you say "Because most people are lazy to focus on the positive. Focusing positive means focused on solutions or improvements rather than problems." that is what I mean when I say that people need to focus on the negative. I see focusing on solutions to fix problems as focussing on the negative, because you focus on the problems trying to find a solution to it. But most people hate that, as you say, because they are lazy and only want to focus on having fun (the positive things). Fixing problems is focusing on the negative (although I can see why you say that that is positive). Pete I think we’re saying the same thing but have a different viewpoint.

What I see is 95% of people constantly focusing on the negative and and few on the positive. Because most people are lazy to focus on the positive. Focusing positive means focused on solutions or improvements rather than problems. This post makes me angry as in my experience any new idea you mention with people nowadays .. they immediately focus on what could go wrong with it. ITS A LOOSER MODE Here is some negative for you..

He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. Benjamin Franklin The opposite of light is dark , the coin has two sides , there’s both positive and negative , we need a balance of the two to achieve real enlightenment !!

as the old saying goes , plan for the worst , hope for the best and expect something in between

learn as i have to balance between both the plus and negatives and derive energy from both to develop real power and understanding

we must learn not to fear the dark it gives the light a place to shine just as death is a means to an end

without sadness and pain there would be nothing for us to compare the good things in life to

i get the shits at people who are so blind they have to focus on only positive things living in the optimistic realm , as to with someone who thoughts are only for the negative always pessimistic outlook

how many of us go around talking only of neutrality or common ground ? lets learn to face reality and deal with what is real

But for me positive thinking is also about how you solve your problems. Thinking of negative shouldn't always mean feeling bad about it. I see it as a feedback. OK, I did something wrong but i'll try to get smarter and avoid this mistake the next time. Often being depressed used to be a problem for me, now it's not. So, I got a feedback, analyzed what makes me feel so, and took control over my emotions. There's no contradiction between focusing on negative and feelnig good. Yeah, some things in the world are too awful to feel good when you see them, and even worse it's not in your power to change them. :( But you can change some piece of the world around you, and hopefully the others will learn doing it looking at you. So you'll probably affect the whole world indirectly. ;) Positive thinking is to feel better, otherwise you’ll be always depressed and that’s cournter productive.

My biggest concern on thinking about negetive things is that it seems to dominate most of our media and personal conversation. For the media, this is only done because that is what sells there products...., people like to read about negetive events or situations. Unfortunately, this is usually in the form of gossip and has little to do with \'fixing problems\'. People consume much time complaining about the weather, crime, goverment, work, etc. etc etc, usually, things out of their control or if within their control and influence, not something they are willing to help improve or correct.

According to The Law of Attraction, you should forget about your problems because if you think about them, you’ll only attract more problems into your life. But if there’s anything the universe or nature has taught us, it’s that opposites attract eachother. So if I think about my problems, shouldn’t I attract solutions? Strangely, The Law of Attraction wants us to think about positive things to change the negative things, and thus to create or attract positive things in our lives. But ofcourse, you can’t just think positive and hope to change something negative with it. If you want to turn a negative (bad) situation into a positive (good) one, you’re going to have to deal with the negative (bad) things and change them (make them positive (good)). You can’t ignore the negative things and just keep yourself busy with positive things and hope that the negative things will automatically turn positive. You’re going to have to concentrate or focus on them and put some effort into getting them positive. It’s just like in math, which is often called the language of nature. In math, you can’t multiply a negative number with a positive one, and hope to get a positive outcome. No no, you multiply the negative number by a negative number in order to get something positive out of it. This again shows that you’ll have to work with the negative to turn something negative to something positive. Now when you view the whole process, you might say that you’re overall doing something positive (good), because turning something negative (bad) to something positive (good) is a good (positive) thing to do. But take note of the fact that in the process, you’ll actually be focusing on the negative because that’s what you want to change. I wrote about this before.

I live my life in the manner you've described and wish there was a way to more easily convey this philosophy to others. For those reading, this actually does work. I've never felt more fulfilled by consciously addressing, taking responsibility for, and looking at ANYTHING that bothers me as an opportunity for improvement in any area of my life. Put your thoughts into motion and make it happen. If you don't know how, find out how. Ask, read, surf and self-educate. Those that don't take the bull in life by the horns are going to get gored. Following this path will make you the ultimate happiest person because within time there won't be any negatives left that need addressing. And when it's all said and done isn't that really the meaning? Finding as much happiness as you possibly can is what it is all about. When you're sitting there in your rocking chair in the sunset of your existence you want to feel like you really lived. You want to feel like you weren't mired down in your own frustrations. You have the sense of accomplishment that you lived a better life than 90% of the sad world out there because you took responsibility to make it that way instead of complain about it. There are no guarantees of an after life. Spend your time here assuming that this is your one shot. You also never know when it will really end. If it were to end in 2 weeks for you, could you look back and feel satisfied? In life you ultimately can't count on anyone but yourself. (Read that last line again.) The toughest part of what I'd like to say to anyone that accidentally finds this post is that perhaps the biggest crutch in life is actually your higher power. When you learn to walk on your own you become your own God and anything becomes possible. You have no one to blame for failure except yourself. Once you take your thoughts, good or bad, and put them into motion via a spoken or written word or physical movement you are writing your own destiny. Living life in this manner is like having a pack of batteries that auto charge for you. How can you not be totally jazzed about life when you wake up everyday and everything is as the way it should be. It allows you to have fun now. Don't forget to equally balance all the major areas of your life for best possible results. How can we completely happy if the table our fruit sits on is wobbly or could fall over at the slightest bump? The ONLY enemy becomes TIME itself. This is something that we can not change. However, if you go through it constantly pursuing excellence for yourself and your family and even the world that you interact with, then you have lived the ultimate life.

You can still look at what you do have and be honst to yourself and then pursue what you do not have at the same time. These two are not contradictory to each other." You are right in that they are not contradictory to eachother. But that's the case mostly in theory. In reality, like I said in my post, most people get too distracted by what they do have, and the need to pursue better or more becomes of far less importance. The more people feel satisfied with what they have, the less they will realize the need to improve or the possibility for improvement. To want to improve means that you first have to essentially admit to yourself that you are not satisfied with where you are. This again means that you have to evaluate the negative aspects of your status quo to see how to make them better. So I also agree that you should not completely disregard the positive things, you should just not focus too much on them. Be glad with what's positive but focus A LOT more on the negative things. And about the car accident, you can be glad about the fact that you didn't get hurt, but you should not put too much emphasis on that when you know it's your fault. You have to put the most emphasis on the negative side, the fact that you were not careful enough, in order to really want to improve. And the result is that you will feel bad about it, but that is the general idea. And even if it wasn't your fault, focusing more on the negative aspect will help more to come up with ways to try to avoid this in the future. Would you like to be lucky and not get hurt a second time because of someone else's fault, or would you like to avoid it completely? So yes, what I was trying to say is that people focus too much on the positive things, and this holds them and everyone else back most of the time. I don't want a balance of positives and negatives, I want more positives! I realize it'll never be 100% positive, but it will never stop me from trying to get closer. < <>> Hey Pretty, what an honor :smile:

"Be honest to yourself and be realistic about your expectations." But I do not agree to this. "Don?t look at what you DO have and try to think about that in a positive way." You can still look at what you do have and be honst to yourself and then pursue what you do not have at the same time. These two are not contradictory to each other. And sometimes it's hard to pursue some goal (or dream) while you're being very realistic about your expectations. Human beings have very sophisticated minds. It does not work only on positive ways or negative ways. Both sides should be balanced, to be a truly better person. For me, if I just think about what I do not have and at what I am bad, without having confidence on myself about what I have and what I'm good at, I will be constantly unhappy and unsatisfied, and it will cause me to underperform, which will make me realize how bad I am again, causing me underperform again, on and on and on. About the car accident example, I still think that I will be really grateful that I was not hurt even though the car was broken. I will only feel unhappy if I concentrate on the broken car, instead of me being all right. I will just feel thanksful that I'm all right, and if the accident was because of my fault, then I would have learned a great lesson, and I will be more careful and cautious from then on - Balance of positive and negative. If that accident was not by my fault, then what do I do? Blame the other driver or the situation and just feel bad about my broken car? My friend had a big car accident on the highway recently because of one car lost the control and hit my friend's car so suddenly from the side. Her car was grounded and totally broken, but she was fine. She had to spend a lot of money to buy a new car, but I am still grateful that she is just all right. So, was it what you wanted to say - the balance of positives and the negatives? Or do you think people just focus on the positives?

You should just not get too distracted by them. For example, if I had a car accident, I could say "well, look at the bright side, although my car is badly damaged I did not get hurt myself ", and try to feel good about it afterall, but I can also say "it was my fault, I should have paid more attention and I would have seen the other car and wouldn't be in this mess in the first place!" and focus more on my mistake and take it more seriously. That causes me to try harder not to let it happen again. My experience so far is that I see people getting too distracted by the first positive option and as a result not taking (good enough) care of the real problem.
