My name is Nicholas Dixon and I am in my early twenties and right now I am living on the beautiful island of Jamaica. I work full time in a public library, but in my spare time I design websites. I personally think that it is fun to help my fellow brother or sister to get what they want out of this life. Success. What a powerful word and so loved by everyone, yet it is so mysterious to so many of us. If you look carefully at some of the things I said on my website, you will realise that it contains a lot of truth. Success is never achieved by thinking of your own wants and needs, but by thinking about other people's wants and needs. Have you ever noticed that the more you give of yourself, the more you have to give? This is one of the natural laws, the more you give the more you receive.
Once I was in a really bad mood for days and I was living everyday life without any meaningful purpose and going through a lot of personal torment. I used to believe that happiness came from the things and people that surround me, but what a terrible mistake!! As Woody Allen puts it, "The talent of being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, not what you don't have". The point of it is quite simple, learn to love and believe in yourself. Learn to believe in the word believe, because it is a powerful word. It breaks down all barriers and sets you free from all fears and will not stop in front of any obstacles. Believe in your dreams my friend, because it is the basis of your success. One last thing I would like to mention is a mental-spiritual theory called Positive Thinking. Positive thinking, my friend, is simply recognising the negative sides of life and not letting them take control over your mind. Some people may say at this point that I am being unrealistic by doing that and that it may not work. But believe me my friend, it does work, but only if you give it a try from the bottom of your heart. Try clearing your mind of any negative thoughts that might exist in it. The positive thinker always stays on top of his game, always winning in the end. He refuses to lose, but if he loses, he goes after his prize again and again. He does not lose heart when he fails, because he knows that the real failure comes when he does not learn from his mistake. The positive thinker sees each day as a new opportunity to make himself and the world in which he lives a better place. Being positive minded makes the difference if you are going to be sad or happy, dreary or cheery, productive or non-productive. This is not simple to do, but when you practice regularly it becomes quite natural. This is the key to Positive Thinking because what a man thinks that is what he will become. If you think about small things you will achieve small things, but if you do it the other way around you will be surprised at how life can treat you. At the end of the day, buy yourself or a friend a gift from www.cafeshops.com/oceanroc so as to show your appreciation. This can be in the form of anything, as long as it makes you feel good about yourself which is the reason of this article in the first place. I truly hope that you will put into action what you have just read.
