Nobody can see inside your mind to determine if what you’re showing the world is your true nature.
A good example of this is, the other day I heard about a young man who had taken his own life. The last time he had been seen alive he had been out partying and looked to be having a great time, however, as in all cases looks can be deceiving, the old adage, never judge a book by its cover is and always will prevail. The young man was found dead the following morning. A sad story that’s mirrored regularly in society and will continue until people learn to open up and accept themselves for who they are and not who they think they should be, or telepathy becomes a skill which can be learned by everybody.
That’s an extreme example of somebody who appeared on the outside to be at level ten on the positive scale but who was actually at level 0 inside his head. The reason behind his actions will never be known, however, they will haunt those people who were closest to him for some time until they accept there’s nothing they can do now.
The positive scale:
The smiley faces in the image is not how people see you, it’s how you feel about yourself on a daily basis.
- Level 1: I’m positive nothing is ever going to work out for me.
- Level 2: I’m positive people are out to get me.
- Level 3: I’m positive people talk about me behind my back.
- Level 4: I’m positive people are happy when I fail.
- Level 5: I’m positive people don’t respect me.
- Level 6: I’m positive I interact well with other people all the time.
- Level 7: I’m positive I respect myself.
- Level 8: I’m positive I don’t care what other people think.
- Level 9: I’m positive I’m happy being myself regardless of another person’s opinion of me.
- Level 10: I’m positive I’m strong enough to accept the life I’ve been given.
The positive scale is based on one simple concept, the less you concern yourself with how people see you, the more positive you will be about yourself.
As with all emotional scales you will move up and down the scale depending on the situation to which you apply the scale. In your work environment you may be a level 6. When you go out socialising you may be a level 5. When you’re at home you could be a level 8. However, the goal everybody should try to reach is level 10 everywhere they go.
Being positive is more than just a word, it’s an emotional reward we grant ourselves because it changes how we see ourselves and how we see the people we interact with.
I’ll leave you with a quote from somebody who is a great ambassador for having a positive attitude. “I’m a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.” ~Roger Federer.
