The Power of Positiveness
I have always come across people who have confidence, courage, knowledge, and talent but they fail in various stages of life. Failure is a part of life and there is nothing wrong with failing. I have seen them fail exclusively of negativeness in their life. They have developed a habit of doubting too much in each and every step.
Constantly doubting themselves from the beginning have created a void of space which has been filled with negativeness over time. Doubting yourself is not bad but constantly doubting lowers your self-confidence bit by bit. The void of space created by your lowering self-confidence is filled with negative energy.
The Beginning of Success:-
The main difference between success and failure starts from thinking. We are restricted by our limited belief. We are like the fish in the pond that thinks that the pond is only the whole world and there is nothing else. We have limited our belief so much that our self-confidence and courage jumps out of the window whenever we are given responsibility that is not within our reach(or that's what we think).
There is always 'LIE' in 'BELIEF':-
YES, whatever we believe is a lie. We constantly keep limiting our self about our limits. Funny thing there is no such limit switch in our wiring system. The only thing that separates humans from a machine is LIMIT. We have limited our self that we can only do certain work in certain ways, thus limiting our self similar to a machine. What if we believed that we cannot walk would we be able to walk?
We learned about walking, riding a bicycle, motorbikes, and cars. What if we believed that we will not be able to do any of those things possible? Would it have been possible to become what we are now?
Even Lord Hanuman had immense power in him but due to a curse, he used to forgot that he had powers and believed that he was just a common being. Whenever someone realized him about his powers he got back his memory and did incredible things with his power.
Sometimes we need someone who can show us our true power. We do not have the curse of forgetting our powers, so once it is before us we can do incredible things. Sometimes we need to become the torch bearer and show someone their true power. We need to think positively.
The Gift of Positive Thinking:-
Thomas Alva Edison Stated,"I have not failed 10,000 times instead I have discovered 10,000 ways how not to make a light bulb."
Even after failing 10,000 times he did not give up. He always thought he was he was discovering ways how not to make a light bulb. This is the power of positive thinking. We have been gifted the power of thoughts. We can create a solution for each and every problem.
There are always two sides to everything. Where there is positiveness, there will definitely be something negative. Therefore, positive thinking and negative thinking. According to a survey, humans tend to go toward negativeness more easily than towards positiveness. The reason being negative energy lures us easily, whereas, positive energy is hard to get.
But Success does not lure us, it is hard to get. So it is a positive energy that we need to possess. It will be hard at first but soon you will get used to it. We really need to work hard to get success and there are no shortcuts to that.
Positive thinking and hard work will get you success even if you have no idea about the subject. There is a small story to explain that:-
There were two shopkeepers who had big shops in a mall opposite to one another. From past few months, their sales declined and they had no idea why this was happening? One of the shopkeepers thought that his store does not have enough buzz in the city. So, he invested a huge sum of money in advertisement. He put up hoardings and banners all around the city.
The other shopkeeper did some survey and observed that many stores were in the same condition as his. He kept his problems on the dining table. Hearing his problem his son immediately said that now no one wants to go to out and shop. Why don't you try an online store? The shopkeeper said he did not know much about an online store. To which his son replied that he will help him set up a good online store.
Soon they set up an online store and used some money for advertisement. When the first shopkeeper heard about his online store. He came to him and advised,
"I heard you were starting an online store."
"Yes, in fact, I have started it."
"I have heard that an online business has more loss than profit. One could lose all their money and can go broke. I think it is not a good idea."
"Well you know it is an experiment to see how it goes. Anyway, I am not doing much all day, so I am kind of learning new stuff. Moreover, everyone is interested in online shopping. So, why not give it a try?"
"I am telling you to follow my path. There is no good in these online things. Online business is not our piece of cake."
"Why? I got an online store for a reasonable price. I have time to explore this area. Experience its ups and downs. Then if I feel that it is not working I will leave the online business. But at least I will have an experience."
"Well, it's your choice then. You can see how my sales have increased just by advertising."
Soon his online store started making progress. He started earning a profit. Whatever came from his offline store was a bonus. Soon he got recognition and his shop flooded with people. His business grew not only in the city but in all the states as well.
Did you saw what happened? Though his fellow businessman said so many negative things about online stores. He always had a positive mindset. He worked hard. He learned the tactics of online marketing and established himself online as well as offline. One lesson everyone will teach you that starting your online business will not get you profit from day 1. You will have to have patience.

Success To Me:-
For me, success does not mean being the best. It is to become better and better, day by day. Becoming better not only professionally or physically but mentally as well. To change your self or at least try to change your self on a day to day basis. To change your attitude and behavior. To have positive thoughts for each and everyone.
Currently, I am learning and trying to see the glass as half full in every perspective. It has only been a couple of weeks but I have started to feel the difference. Everyone around me is a nice person. I always try to figure out their backstory if I see them doing something wrong. Again, seeing things as right and wrong is one's own perspective.
Conclusion:-
The first difference between a successful person and a normal person is the way of thinking. Thinking differently and solving a problem is the first difference. Positive thinking comes next. Without positiveness in your life, you will neither have the courage nor have the motivation to execute the plan that you have made. Without the right motivation, we tend to deviate from the right path and we start searching for shortcuts. Soon, we realize that there are no shortcuts to success and we find ourselves back to square 1.
Positiveness does not bring success but it gives us strength in our struggle and hard work. When we start to think positively and start to take positive actions everything starts to fall in the right place. Bit by bit, inch by inch we start to move towards success. The Funny thing is that we do not know what is right or wrong untill we apply it and get the outcome.
Just follow your heart and keep moving. Once you reach your destination and start to connect the dots, you will see that everything that you did was for good.
