Moulting the Real You

 Yes, you read it correctly. we need to moult our grey thoughts and make our world green. But the question is how? Indeed, we cannot feel positive all the time. Being positive means to be optimistic. Seek out the good out of every bad situation. See the grey in between the black and the white phases of your life. Convert your negative emotions into positive actions. People tend to have three types of mind-set. Read and find out which type of mind-set you have:

1. People with a win/lose mentality always compare themselves with others'

They considered a success as a relative term i.e. their success depends on other people's failure. They feel happy when others fail. They feel jealous if you achieve more than them. They always try to feel you down so that they can wear the crown. They feel insecure all time. 2. People with lose/lose mentality are negative thinkers

They will always try to take you along their journey in the sinking boat. You should never discuss your plans with them as they will do everything to suppress your idea. They will criticize you and make you feel anxious. So you also hesitate to take the first step towards your goals and finally you quit.

3. People with the win/win mentality are achievers

They are people who let them work hard, fight with their inner weakness and make their dream come true. They always cheer others to take a small step towards their dream. They believe small steps together make the successful victorious road ahead clearer. They also think their success depends on other people's success too. To become the person we want to be, we must have the winning mindset. If you are surrounded by successful people then they are creating a positive environment which helps you in attracting your goals towards yourself. Stephen R Covey, American educator, author, businessman, and keynote speaker stated - "win/win is based on the paradigm that there is plenty for everybody, that one person's success is not achieved at the expense or exclusion of the success of others...it's not your way or my way, it's a better way, a higher way."

You need to love and respect the person you see when you stand in front of the mirror. Give importance to your thoughts and listen to your heart. God has given us two ears so listen to the good things from one year and remove the atrocious thoughts from your other ear. Just as some of the animals shed their skin, hairs and features to make a new way for their growth similarly we need to shed our negative thoughts and enter a new positive world. "Being positive doesn’t mean that you live in candy land. Positive people have real problems. They get angry. They challenge people and fight hard for what they believe in. Positivity is not about wearing rose-coloured glasses and rolling over when the going gets tough. It’s about being self-aware and accountable for your emotional state.” - Isaiah Hankel.
