We all, irrespective of
our gender or creed or tribe or tongue desire to be successful in whatever we
do however we know that there is a big difference between a desire to get
something or be something and actually getting
or being that thing.
Whatever desire we have,
if it is not backed up with an actionable plan would certainly remain in the realm
of desire and cannot be actualized.
And so to achieve our
desire and make it a success, we have to put action into the works.
The challenge, therefore, lies in putting action to the works to enable us to achieve our desire and this is
because the default setting of our mindset is that of being comfortable even in
failure. Our mindsets are stewed and garnished in negativity.
It is the fear mentality
that breeds the negativity in us - the fear of failure which suspends us in
mid-air when we want to try out something new, the fear of what people will say
if we fail, the fear of the embarrassment of failure, the fear of getting
marked for life - this fear is very palpable and stops us in our tracks when we
want to launch out thus making us dilly dally and procrastinate.
So the bad news is that
negativity is an enemy of success - infact it kills success
And here some facts to
prove that negativity kills success
1. Negativity suppresses your prefrontal cortex,
which is critical for
creativity, decision-making and seeing solutions rather than just problems.
2. Negativity creates chronic stress, which causes inflammation
throughout the body and can lead to disease.
When you are battling
health problems, it's hard to focus on anything, let alone the pursuit of
success.
3. Negativity can make you a toxic person. A toxic person is a
pessimist and is never a good company any day except in the company of other
pessimists
4. Negativity rubs off even on your mode of dressing, the way you
talk and even the way you walk.
This will surely make
people avoid you like the bubonic plague
5. Negativity keeps you secluded in your own World. And as you
know, no man is an island.
So, if you earnestly
desire success, there's just one thing to do - kill negativity and take a
quantum jump over to positivity
By so doing, you
would make it possible for you to
succeed.
In the next post, I shall
let you know the actions to take in the positivity arena that would take you to
your success.
If any man or woman for that matter desires success, they must as a matter of urgent personal interest and importance KILL NEGATIVITY.
ReplyDeleteNegativity is the default setting of our minds and if we don't change it, then we are doomed to be consigned to the list of those who came, who did not see and who did not conquer

ReplyDelete1. Negativity and it's harmful effects
2. Success is relative, and so I will be listing a few points which can help you gain success in whatever area you desire
*Conquer fear:* Never let fear grow in your heart; because this is the number cause of negative thoughts.
*Believe in your abilities:* Always understand that you are the you that can ever exist and so instead of doubting you can do it, believe that you have done it already.
*Never accept failure:* Never see yourself a failure instead see yourself as a work in progress; almost ready for exploits
*Always be happy:* Sad feelings are the greatest doorways for negative feelings inside our head, so never let anything get you to the point where you are sad and you begin to welcome all sorts of weird thoughts.
*Be open to new ideas:* You are not an island of knowledge so dwelling on your thoughts which will eventually become obsolete sooner or later, embrace new ways, be in the now, because backwardness has a way of draining us of positivity.
*choose your friends:* Never settle with friends who always view life from a negative or pessimistic point of view.
*Take risks:* Fear many times prevents us from taking risks; once in a while take wise risks and go out of your comfort zone, it has a way to drain us of negative thoughts and helps us see life in all ways possible.
*Exercise:* Taking yoga classes helps to drain our minds off negative mindsets.
*Food and rest:* Adequate balanced nutrition and sleep are two good ways to relax the brain. When the brain and mind is relaxed, it is open for different thoughts and it helps you filter bad thoughts
*Your spare time:* Instead of engaging in pointless arguments, enrich your mind with good books, listen to people that inspire you to do great in any thing you so desire.
