BUILD A POSITIVE ATTITUDe
a few secrets to help live your life more fully
My dad died at a time in my life right after I had begun to build a family. So, at 33, I buried one of the most influential people in my life. That was probably the most traumatic event that I had ever experienced. I also included the year I spent in combat in Vietnam. I never realized that thinking negative thoughts often lead to a person being thought of as depressed.
I spent the next 10 years trying to figure out why I was having problems with being so negative. I asked myself these questions: “Why am I having these struggles?” “Why do I seem to be negative all the time?”
Finally, my wife insisted that I talk to my doctor about it. That conversation resulted in a prescription, but the negative thinking continued. That's when I decided to get some help from a counselor. What I learned during the following year helped me turn my life around. The counselor guided me through the negative thoughts into a positive outlook. Now that I'm nearly eighty, I have started a new career.
I want to share some of the insights I gained with you. If you incorporate these two simple suggestions, you may not solve your negative thinking, but you'll positively influence yourself and the people around you.

6 Key Steps To Live Life To The Fullest
You could say that in life we are motivated by two basic forces – love and fear. Love opens us to the passion and excitement that love has to offer, while fear causes us to withdraw from life and hide away, terrified of hurt and pain. John Lennon said something along these lines and noted that without the ability to love ourselves, we can't truly love others.
Fear is holding you back from tackling life and living it to the full. It can stop you in your tracks and keep you from chasing your dreams, and often, we don't even realize what fears are haunting us. We are terrified of failing, of losing love, of being lonely, of having to change, and of the unknown, too. We are veritable cowardly lions.
While there is a time and place for fear, which often protects us from truly dangerous experiences, they can also be destructive. With these six steps, you can put fear to one side and start living your life to the fullest.
