With the many trials I have been through in this life, I have to say that having a positive attitude goes a long way at being successful and productive. Have I always been positive? Of course not, life has a way of bringing a person down from time to time, but I have learned through my trials that being positive is the best way to push forward and to succeed in life.


In the Bible it says that He will put no more on you than you can bare. I believe this with all my heart because no matter how trying a situation became I have survived it and came out learning something from it.



Are you a positive person? If you are not you can be! When you feel yourself stuck in the rut of negativity do this simple exercise. Weigh your pros and cons. Always come up with at least 3 positive things to every negative. This has helped me through life. When my situations have left me feeling a little down/negative I force myself to focus on the positive.


For example right now in my life I have been without an income or a job since April 2009. Instead of letting it beat me down as my money is running out I have decided to do something proactive about it. Now at first I fought against the idea. Convinced it would not be in my best interest, but then I sat back and asked myself several questions about my situation, and when I looked at it from a more positive light I realized that I had a wonderful opportunity sitting right in front of me. I decided to become a Virtual Assistant.


Positive about my decision now, I am able to push forward and realize my dream of being a business owner and virtual assistant. I have not taken this task lightly however, as there are many things to learn and many paths to pursue in this venture. I am starting off small, and looking forward to expanding my knowledge and capabilities so that I can expand my business and my dreams!


Take heart and have a positive attitude so that you can be prosperous in life too!



Prosperous: my definition of prosperous and is not only what financial gains you may achieve, but being happy as well. Focusing on God and family is important in the scheme of life. Focus on God and your family, as well as being proactive in your business life.



Be positive, remember that you have much going for you! Write it down, this will help you to stay focused on the positive things in your life, and help you to move forward in your personal life as well as your business life.

Remember you can do it! Stay positive and be proactive and life is sure to bring great things for you!
