Hello everybody and a good day (or night !) to you all.My name is
Nicholas Dixon and I am in my early twenties and I reside on the
beautiful island of Jamaica.I work full time in a public library
, but in my spare time I design and market websites.I personally
think that it is fun to help my fellow brother or sister to get
what they want out of this life.
Success.What a powerful word and so sought after , yet it is so
elusive to so many of us.If you look carefully at my personal
quote on my website , you will realise that it contains a lot of
truth.Success is never achieved by thinking of your own wants and
needs , but by thinking about other people's wants and needs.Have
you every notice that the more you give of yourself , the more
you have to give ? This is called the law of abundance , the more
you give the more you receive.
Believe me my friend , this is one of the most fundamental keys
to success along with hard work and perseverance.When you apply
these steps to your life , I am sure that you will find it fuller
and more richer than before.
Once I was “down on my face” and living life everyday without any
meaningful purpose and going through a lot of personal torment.I
used to believe that happiness came from the things and people
that surround me , but oh what a terrible mistake !! As Woody
Allen puts it , “The talent of being happy is appreciating and
liking what you have , not what you don't have”.The morale to
that is quite simply , learn to love and believe in
yourself.Learn to believe in the word believe , because it is a
powerful word.It breaks down all barriers and removes all fears
once firmly established in the mind and will not stop in the path
of any obstacle.Believe in your dreams my friend because it is
the basis of your success.
One last thing I would like to mention is a mental-spiritual
theory called Positive Thinking.Positive thinking , my friend is
simply recognising the negatives in life but refusing to dwell on
them.Some people may argue at this point that I am being
unrealistic by doing that and that it may not work.But believe me
my friend it does work , but only if you give it a try from the
bottom of your heart.Try giving yourself daily “mental cleansing
“ so as to clear your mind of any negative thoughts that might
exist in it.
The positive thinker always stays on top of his game , always
triumphing in the end.He refuses to lose , but if he does lose ,
he goes after his prize again and again.He does not lose heart
when he fails , because he knows that the real failure comes when
he does not learn from his mistake.
The positive thinker views each day as a new opportunity to make
himself and the world in which he lives a better place.Being
positive minded makes the difference if you are going to be sad
or happy ,bright or dull , dreary or cheery , productive or
non-productive.
This is not simply to do, but when practise regularly it becomes
quite natural.This is key to Positive Thinking because what a man
thinketh that is what he will become.If you think about small
things you will achieve small things , but if you do it the other
way around you will be surprise at how life can be to you.
At the end of the day , when you have reconditioned your mind ,
buy yourself or a friend a gift so as to show your
apprecation.This can be in the form of anything , as long as you
it makes you feel good about your self which is the reason of
this article.Until then peace and I hope that you will put into
action what you have just read.
