Have you ever seen a kid who doesn't like painting what he or she drew? Apparently not. I haven’t either, instead. But as the years goes by, we chaos our mind with fears, doubts and self-deprecating thoughts. We never know how much power we give to negativity when we limit ourselves.
We’ll never get that job we’ve always wanted because our nay-saying thoughts has made us doubt our abilities. We'll never be in a relationship because we always feel were not good enough.
We’ll never risk abandoning our job in order to chase the life we've always wished simply because we can’t get over our mental barrier that claims we’re too unimportant, weak, and too dumb. We’ll never be able to clearly see our inner ability and capability because we find it difficult to dare the question and the voices up in our head.
But it's time to say ''enough is enough!'' stop these limiting factors and come to a place of sanity, excitement and love about life, work and ourselves.
So…how exactly do we achieve that?
This steps below will be hard for some; the only way to make it easier is simply practicing and practicing till you're good at it. Here are a few ideas on how you can get started.
- Substitute every negative thought with a positive one irrespectively.
Whenever a negative thought creeps into your mind, quickly replace them with a positive thought. For instance, when someone writes a phrase you don't like on a blackboard, all you need to do is simply get up, erase what he/she wrote and write what you like. - See the positive side of every situation
Regardless of how negativity has surrounded us. We should always be able to view the situation from a positive perspective. Although this might be a little bit harder to put into practice, which does not mean it’s impossible.
By mentally holding on to something positive, you'll be able attain positivity, whether this be family, partner, well-wishers, friends, your faith, nature, someone’s sparkling eyes or whatever glitter of beauty. If you seek it, you will definitely locate it. - Change the negative images you allow to enter your mind
How you see your surrounding and yourself makes a big difference to your thinking faculty. It is like watching a movies that only frustrates and saddens you, and completely pulling you down. Quit that movie , throw it away and insert a new, better, more hopeful one instead.
So, rather than abiding in the dark , negative thinking, constantly build and focus on positive, light and colorful images, situations and thoughts in your mind a few times a day.
Conclusion
Apparently, being persistent and constant makes you improve positively on yourself, the mind will automatically reject negative thoughts and welcome only the the positive ones.
Never forget, you are what you think you are. We are therefore a product of the mind. This is reason enough to be more proactive about whatever is going on in your head.

The fear of the unknown have always been a limiting factor in our minds....fear of if we could achieve this or that, fear if we go make this happen or not, fear if we are worth this or that.
But have you stopped for a moment and ask yourself .... Who am i not to be successful?
I am what i tell myself and therefore why will I choose to say little about myself?
The power is inside of you!!!
That's right fam,

Good read. Ones happiness is solely dependent on one's decisions, i believe
And also.... Never you decide to be happy when you have achieved the whole world ...there is always a saying I love so much
Don't run too fast in life that you forget to smell the roses🌹
Don’t get too busy building a life for yourself that you forget to live it
With this I solely agree with your comment, so always decide to be happy so long as you work hard
Yeah @belemo, you got the whole point.
Happiness is base on thefeeling we had over an event that occoure around us

I remember myself as a chid, climbing trees and any other stuff that can be climbed. I remember running down the staircase with so much energy. I remember my elder brother calling me "Agu" (Tiger) always because of my strength and active nature. Fast forward to years of disappointment, some levels of hardship, loss of loved ones, understanding what it feels like to fall but still rising up afterwards and so many more experiences; Now I walk up and down the stairs slowly without the slightest intention of running and prefer not to climb trees but instead relive my youthful days. My good ole memories makes me smile.
Thanks for this post.
Lol, your childhood life seems to be fun and interesting. Well as we grow old we get to realise there are some things that best left undone. Thanks for the feedback.
I think the best way to achieve happiness is throughout fulfillment. Try to do something that encourages you to wake up every day, to fight against al odds so you can reach a goal. When you set something in your mind, something that you enjoy, happiness will just come along the way.
Exactly, setting a goal and accomplishing it is another source of inner joy. Thanks for the feed back fam.
