Let's say you and a friend go to a party together...

You spend the evening in the living room where there is a group of people complaining about the world and b*tching about all of their own troubles...

Your friend spends the evening out by the pool where people are playing games, telling jokes, and making smores by the fire.

At the end of the night, you might say to your friend "That was a terrible party. Everyone was just complaining about stuff the whole time!"

Your friend would look at you and say "Really?! I had a great time. Everyone was playing games, laughing, and hanging by the fire!"

Of course, you were both at the same party. So who would be right?

You both would be...because it's all about perspective.

The same thing is happening in your head at all times...One minute, you have a positive perspective and believe that anything is possible...The next minute, it feels like the world is crashing down on you and you'll never accomplish anything in life.

Same world...different perspective.

ACTION:

Humans have a bias toward negativity. Recognize when you're dwelling on the "negative" things happening to you and shift your perspective so you can get yourself back into action.
