….Easier said than done right?

So how can I stay positive in the middle of a negative world you might ask? A very important thing is to understand that as long as you deal with human beings that you will inevitably be in the presence of “toxic people.”

So here are 3 things that you can do to help you stay positive in the midst of negative people:

• Keeping the proper mindset – As the old adage goes…. “Knowing is half the battle.” With that being said, knowing and understanding that this is not a perfect world and people are always going to be negative, you will quickly realize that you can’t change people but you can change yourself. So instead of exerting unnecessary amounts of time and energy trying to change someone else. Spend every minute you can on creating a better you!

• Read positive and uplifting material daily – Have you ever heard the saying “readers are leaders?” Well in my           opinion this could not be more true. Some of the most successful icons in American culture have credited their success to being voracious readers. One of my favorite books is The Power of Positive Thinking.

• Surrounding yourself with positive people – This may sound like a simple task, however many times in people’s lives the people who live under the same roof tend to be some of the most negative people in your immediate circle. So what do you do if you cannot totally eliminate negative relationships? (Such as spouses, parents, siblings, etc) The best thing to do is cut all ties with negative people, but if you are in a situation where you are unable to do so then keeping the amount of time that you spend with them to a minimum would be best. There are positive people out there… you just have to look. Engaging yourself in activities like volunteering, networking groups, and church based activities are all a good start.

Simply following these bullet points will help you on your way to staying positive in the presence of negative people. Please share your thoughts on this post and leave comments.

Many of you may be interested in this article simply behind the irregularity of the title, so do you think like a restaurant or a buffet? I’m sure as this article begins to gain notoriety there will be plenty of opinionated people who’ll have their 2 cents but that’s life right?

Okay, so if you are into personal development, home business, or simply looking to become a better person it is important to have the correct mental mindset. I can’t stress enough the importance of how we think determines what we manifest in our lives.

Now being successful requires that we take accountability as well as responsibility for ourselves. Most people in today’s society have a restaurant mentality, they want to see their goals and dreams come true and pay the price after the fact.

Many people refer to this as the lottery mentality, wanting something for nothing, and believing that they don’t have to pay the price to be successful. For this reason, only 20% of society makes 80% of all the money. This is in no way a coincidence, to many this is known as the Pareto Principle.

There are tons of people in the world who ‘wish’ that they could accomplish their goals and dreams but have no plan whatsoever to get them accomplished. If you plan on having what you wish for in life it’s imperative that you get the buffet mindset instead of the restaurant mindset.

A restaurant typically allows you to come in, eat your meal, and after you’ve had your way only then do you have to pay. Whereas with a buffet, you come in and you are required to pay the cost of your meal before you even think about having a single bite of anything.

This is the mindset that is required if you truly desire to be successful in life. You MUST be willing to pay the price up front, before you can ever intend to reap the rewards of a successful life. Sowing always comes before reaping, just like the only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary.

To take control of our lives we have to be willing to do what most people will not do to have what most people do not have. So take action, refuse to have the lottery mentality, and decide here and now that you are going to pay the price to get whatever it is you want in life.
