POSITIVE THINKING VERSUS NEGATIVE THINKING

   

 “HOLD YOURSELF RESPONSIBLE FOR A HIGHER STANDARD THEN ANYBODY ELSE EXPECTS OF YOU. NEVER EXCUSE YOURSELF. NEVER PITY YOURSELF. BE A HARD MASTER TO YOURSELF- AND BE LENIENT TO EVERYBODY ELSE”

                                                                                                                         -HENERY WARD BEECHER

Arstotle, perhaps the greatest philosopher of all time, studied the human condition more extensively than any other man in history. He concluded that the ultimate goal of human life endeavor was happiness. He said that every act a person takes is aimed at achieving a greater state of happiness, however the individual defines it.

    You want to be a good job. Why? To earn more money. Why? To be able to provide for your family and enjoy a good lifestyle. Why? To achieve personal and financial security. Why? So you can be happy.

THE TRUE MEASURE

The true measure of how successful you are in life is how happy you are –most of the time. If you are wealthy, famous, or powerful but you are not happy, you have failed in your primary responsibility to yourself as a human being.

    Every human act is aimed at achieving a greater state of happiness, however the individual defines it. This does not mean that every act leads to happiness. Many people makes a complete mess of their lives attempting to achieve happiness and often end up unhappier and more dissatisfied then they would have been if they had done nothing. They are examples of the law of perverse consequences.
