A positive approach in life makes everything beautiful

‘A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunit­y; an optimist sees the opportunit­y in every difficulty,’ said Winston Churchill.

Life is filled with different kinds of problems. Not everybody is successful as most people do not know what they want from life. This in turn doesn’t push them to work hard. One must understand that it is one’s frame of mind that decides how one looks towards life.

If you have a positive attitude, you will think the glass is half full; pessimists, as we know, will always look at the glass as half empty.

Here are some scenarios: If you had an outing planned with friends, and the rain ruins your plan, you’re bound to get sad. But the fresh environmen­t and nourished trees and plants might please you if you have a positive outlook. One day, on reaching your workplace if you find that the lift is broken, and there’s no way to the top floor except the stairs, don’t feel dejected. Instead, look at it as an opportunit­y to reflect on your fitness level, and check if you’d be able to run up the stairs, as you did in your childhood.

We must remember that problems will accompany us till our heart beats. Positivity is the first step in overcoming those hurdles. No problem can be solved or no mission can be accomplish­ed until your heart says, ‘I can do it, bring it on’. With such an approach, everything in this world will appear beautiful.
