Looking at negative comments from a different perspective

1/4/2016

It can be difficult to succeed even when we believe in ourselves. We need to change the way we look at things when others tell us that we can’t do it, or we do not have a chance for success. Use this negative thinking and turn it into a positive drive for success. I am very thankful for those who believe in my abilities, but I am also thankful to those who did not believe. Hmmm…that is strange you might think, but it is because I chose to look at their negative comments from a different point of view. Those negatives made me strive for success just as much as the positive comments. The negative comments can bring you down and potentially make you doubt your ability. YOU have to switch your way of thinking to allow the negative to become positive. So thank you to those who doubted me…I am trying to get better day by day.
