Black and White thinking
Black and White thinking can be damaging to your mental health. It is an all or nothing way of looking at life, you succeed or fail, are perfect or a failure. Try to think in shades of grey, don’t make snap judgements. Take a second and review the situation before making a decision. Things are usually different to how you initially see them.
Albert Einstein wrote, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
The attitude you adopt is always a choice made by you. There are many things in life over which you have no control but attitude isn’t one of them. Always choose to have a positive attitude.
For a person to grow they have to make changes, its as simple as that. No one has ever developed by doing the same old things the same old way. Some changes may be small, a little tweak here and there but others may be massive, you decide!
Goals are what drives us as human beings, they are what makes life worth living. Something to strive for, a target. Some will be long term and may take a long time to achieve, with many smaller goals being achieved along the way. Others will be more immediate, short term goals. Either way go and smash them.
Be the best version of yourself that you can be. This is a vital part of having a strong Positive Mental Attitude. Strive for excellence in everything you do, not perfection, it doesn’t exist.
Enthusiasm can help you find the new doors, but it takes passion to open them. If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there. Roy T Bennett.
