Power Of Positive Thinking
To me one of the greatest gifts to have is the power of positive thinking. Over the years I went through periods of disappointments, rejections and depression because of my struggles with my hearing, visual and physical impairments.
I soon learned the key to surviving anything that comes my way is positive thinking. Such as during my college years trying to figure out what my career focus was going to be. After a stint in education I majored in social work. But after graduating I soon learned the difficulties of finding the job. I went through many interviews and received many rejections. I finally settled into a part time job while I did some positive soul searching which led me to start to write about my personal experiences.
With encouragement from my family and friends I contacted several editors who published my work on the World Wide Web and my local newspaper. I soon found my true calling as a columnist. All it took was patience's and positive thinking.
Over the years I have learned three very important parts to positive thinking. I call them the three c’s:
- Commitment
- Control, and
- Challenges
The first is to make a positive commitment to your life and dreams. After many different experiences I found a way to make my dream come true through my writing career.
The second one is controlling your destiny focusing on your goals.
The last part is don’t be afraid of taking on new challenges that's what keeps life interesting and exciting.
Every day can be a new beginning and yesterdays can be a stepping stone to tomorrow.
