Every situation that happens in your life has both a positive and a negative side.

If you focus too much on the negative, you forget about the positive.

Yes, my business has gone massively down since the Coronavirus outbreak.

I have lost four of my biggest clients.

Yes, just like everyone, I too am stuck at home.

And a death has occurred in the family.

In these tough times, it's easy to go down and be swallowed up by the negatives. The news is negative, your friends are, and even your family.

It's hard not to join them and fall into a deep depression. But if you don't resist, then who will?

Here's how you resist. You switch your FOCUS through your will. What you focus on is what you attract.

So you swithc.

From negative, to positive.

Yes, there are negative things in your life. So acknowledge them. Write them down. Write 5 things that are going wrong and you wish were different. Label them NEGATIVE THINGS.

Do it right now - just grab a piece of paper or open a word document, and do it. Do it before you read the next line.

And after you do that, draw a line, and below wirte POSITIVE THINGS and write 10 positive things. Things that you are grateful for. Things that are going well.

Regardless of how bad things are, some things are positive. You are still breathing. There is still hope. Your business may be in peril, but your health is not. You still have food on your table. There isn't a war going on in your country.

Whatever it is. Force yourself to identify 2 positive things for every negative thing in your life.

And don't forget that right now in this world there are millions suffering from incurable diseases, millions waiting to die in war-torn countries like Syria, and millions who don't have the food they need or the water supply they need to survive. You are NOT one of them. Regardless of how grim your situation is, it's still better than theirs. You have what to be grateful for, if only you look for it.

Feeling grateful will cause a BIG SHIFT in you. Away from "me" focused, and towards "other" focused. And this will show in your business too - you'll start winning again because you'll identify new ways to provide value.

Go. Do. It!

"Remember that all we have is “on loan” from Fortune, which can reclaim it without our permission—indeed, without even advance notice. Thus, we should love all our dear ones, but always with the thought that we have no promise that we may keep them forever—nay, no promise even that we may keep them for long."

- Seneca

Such a good word. Great reminder. It is so easy to fall into the trap of negativity. This morning I woke up determined to be grateful for all the good in my life. I'm glad others are doing the same.
