It is rather easier to feel positive when everything goes well, but real positive thinking is revealed when you can maintain it difficult times. It is then that you need it most.
In difficult times, when there are problems and the economic condition is tough, it is so easy to get into negative thinking and self-pity, and be sucked into a vicious circle of worries, fears and the expectation of more problems, lack of money or poverty.
You may read books and articles on positive thinking, and believe that you are positive, but when difficulties and rough times appear, you just forget everything and focus on the problems and difficulties, instead of believing in yourself, looking for solutions and seeking and seizing opportunities.
If you have no job, no money and the future looks bleak you might:
- Indulge in self-pity and feel bad and helpless.
- Indulge in worries and fears and expect more problems.
- Become resentful and angry at the world and at successful people.
- Be sad and focus on your problems.
Does this attitude help you in anything? No, it will only get you deeper into problems, because when you see and expect problems you create more problems. This is where positive thinking and positive attitude are required. It is true, it is not so easy to reject negative thinking in such circumstances, and even if you try, you might find yourself again and again reverting to negative thinking and dwelling on your problems.
If you have lost your way in a forest, will thoughts about your predicament help you? If you just sit down on a rock, and think and imagine that you will never find your way out help you in any way?
If you have failed, lost money or your job, will thinking how bad your condition is help you find a new job or earn money?
Wherever you are now, whatever your situation is, there is always a way out. This might require a different way of thinking, a different approach or developing new skills. Forget the past, as you cannot change it, but you can change your present, and when you change your present, you also change your future.
Keeping a positive attitude, expecting the best, striving to do the best and refusing to indulge in self-pity, negative thinking and worries is the road to a better and happier life.

Hi semile, ok thanks for the kind and well thought reply.

Hi semile, thanks for your well thought reply.
I got the blame and victim idea from this article, where it says, if you have failed, etc.
That phrase among all the other wisdom in the article, why it is placed there is the question and why i even posted.
And my point is simply that it is these antiquated living systems that suppress, oppress and limit every way possible, to prevent each man and woman from becoming self empowered and self sufficient, it is long overdue that this changes.
I'm fully aware of the suppressed tech.
If we are playing a board game like monopoly, it is the game that is completely flawed and can always be considered a failure in regard to serving the good of all playing that game, that is my point.
Man or woman has no problems or failures, it is the game in between us all that is the problem and failure.
Humanity should detach itself from thinking it is somehow intrinsically related to these flawed systems, that would be a great start.

Hi folks, all are free to believe whatever they wish, though here is my view of some of the things this article mentions.
This article points out one valuable nugget of truth and wisdom and that is that worrying or going into fear over a situation will never in the long run help.
Now with that said, i feel this article is attempting to blame the victim, yes yes yes, thoughts do create our reality to a certain degree, though we have human living systems in place that do not serve the good of all and certainly does not meet all humanities basic needs at all times and without enslavement methods attached.
With that knowledge, not one man or woman can ever be called a failure or have problems, the failure and the problem are these human living systems that do not work for the good of all and ultimately only serve to benefit the few.
Again, I don't know from where these type of messages are originating, though i certainly have a clue as to where they are coming from.
This is no different than religion calling people sinners from birth, every last one of you reading this are perfect, wonderful beings just as you are, don't let these type of messages fool you into thinking you are a failure, the game of win/lose monopoly monkey money we are playing is the loser and failure, not any of us.

Cheers for this, I hit rock bottom two years ago and still occasionally struggle with thoughts of bitterness and anger to this day. My holistic healer Jenny has helped me immensely, and I finally turned the corner well and truly in February during our last session when she was able to release my heart chakra of various negative energies. 2012 has been my most upbeat year so far since 1990 when I visited what was Yugoslavia just before the war, and I reckon when our reality changes to 5D the world will be a much better place, yowza.
Thank you for this post
