It is a well-known fact that when the financial condition is good, and when people have a good and well paying steady job, they feel good and tend to be happier and more relaxed.
On the other hand, when the state of the economy looks bleak and unpromising, when there is no job and no money, there is a tendency to think and feel negative about everything. There is no happiness and no inner peace.
If we could examine people’s attitude in various situations, we will discover that is very much affected by circumstances and situations.
It is so easy to accept negative thoughts in difficult circumstances and see everything crumbling down.
On the other hand, when everything is going okay, one feels more confident about life.
However, even in a good situation, people might fall into negative thinking. This is because people fear they that the good in their life would not last.
If your life now is not what you want it to be, and you constantly think how bad the situation is, you keep hammering these thoughts into your subconscious mind. This makes you believe that there is no way out.
Your inability to stop thinking on your current situation makes it look worse than it really is, stifles creativity and initiative, draws negative thinking and self pity, and increases the chances of making reality much worse.
Being negative, crying over what you have lost and expecting lack and difficulties will not make things better.
The Secret of Change Is a Change of Attitude!
Your positive attitude can change your financial condition, in spite of national or global economic conditions.
Acquiring a positive attitude is most important, even if it might not be so easy when your job is at risk, or when don’t have a job.
You have to act as the gatekeeper of your mind.
You should prevent thoughts of self-pity, failure and lack from entering your mind, and let in only thoughts about success and growth.
You might say that it is like cheating yourself, since the conditions are bad. Yet, playing make-believe changes your attitude and has a great impacts on your conscious and subconscious minds.
Before long, your subconscious mind will accept the new reality that you are creating in your imagination, and would work overtime to make it be true. Remember, to change your reality you need to let go of your negative thoughts and pessimistic thinking.
