Use Obstacles as Stepping Stones

There are only two ways to look at the world: the responsive/positive way or the reactive/negative way.

People with a negative mindset choose a victim stance, seeing life as a continuous succession of problems and a process of unfairness and oppression. They don't expect a lot and they don't get much. When things go wrong, they shrug their shoulders and passively accept that this is the way life is and there isn't anything they can do to make it better. They complain, crib and whinge throughout life that things are wrong but never take personal responsibility to make things as they want them to be. They talk their talk.
These are the eternal re-actors.

On the other hand, people with a positive mindset see the world around them as filled with opportunities and possibilities. They believe that everything happens as part of a great process designed to make them successful and happy. They approach their lives, their work, and their relationships with optimism, cheerfulness, and a general attitude of positive expectations. They expect a lot and they are seldom disappointed. If things don't turn out as they want them to, they take personal responsibility for changing them and put their actions where their mouth is. They walk their talk.
These are the eternal creators.

One world, 2 different perspectives. Thus 2 different realities.

Which one do you choose?
