You create the story of your life. You have the freedom to decide if it's a happy story or a downer. It's all in the way you see things. You can see challenges as impossible obstacles or learning opportunities. You decide when you have enough (money, success, love), when you can start loving yourself, and when you love your life. What's difficult about embracing positivity and choosing to be happy is that our minds get stuck in the negative. You might have heard that we have as many as 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day and that 80% are negative! That is what happens when we don't live our lives with the intention to be positive. That's why we're starting the 30 Day Be More Positive Challenge.

We have the power to change every second of our lives because we can think about our thoughts and choose to change them. How amazing is it to have this mind power! Just like how we need to be intentional about planning the perfect day, we need to be intentional with our positivity.

What have you done in the last week to change your habits to become more positive? Don't beat yourself up if the answer is nothing. That's exactly why we created the 30 Day Be More Positive Challenge. No matter what your current habits are, you can turn them around and this Positive Challenge is exactly the way to do it. It will take you out of your routine and into living a life with greater positivity and love.

And when you're more positive, everyone wins. You enjoy your work more, you're more fun to be around, and you make other people happy. The Be More Positive Challenge can impact so much more than how you feel about your life. It can transform everything.

Scientific studies have shown that positive thinking can build your skill set. And when you develop your skills, you'll be a shoe-in for that promotion or new position. CNN published an article about how positive thinking can lead to your success. The highlights? Positive people perform better and are more supported by their peers. They are less likely to be unemployed and end up living longer. Plus, when you're happier, you're more creative and you'll find your inspiration to create something meaningful.

There is so much that positivity can bring to your life. Is more happiness and a better outlook something you want for yourself? What about for the people around you? Do you want to bring greater joy to their lives? Give the 30 Day Be More Positive Challenge a try and see how it changes your life. It isn't a big sacrifice. All you need to do is take 15 minutes a day to be more positive. Try it out for one week and see how you feel. Keep going and before you know it, you'll transform your mindset and begin thinking positively without meaning to.

life is a S#$it and then you die.

the concept of "dhukkha"

Suffering is either self-imposed or imposed on others. Buddhism holds that all life is suffering; that this suffering is caused by selfish craving, aka, thirst, desire, longing, and greed, which I take to mean the craving of both oneself and others; and that selfish craving can be overcome through the Noble Eight-fold Path of:
Right view
Right resolve
Right speech
Right action
Right livelihood
Right effort
Right mindfulness
Right concentration.

the buddha was advising people to get onto the "NARROW ROAD TO SUCCESS"

you and cods merely prove that addiction to negative thought loops is a problem.
of course you couldnt do 30 days of positive thinking.
you would feel ill and go into a harsh drug withdrawal if you gave up your "drug" for 30 minutes

aquascoot wrote on Mar 21^st, 2019 at 7:57am:


Very true, Aquascoot. You've got it.

Dukkha translates as not quite hitting the mark. This is the feeling we get when we've strived hard to accomplish something. Once you've got it, you think, is that all there is? Then you try to accomplish something else, rarely stopping to reflect on the lack of satisfaction.

You see this in people who've accomplished fame and fortune. They always find out that fame and fortune is not what it's cracked up to be. Many move onto drugs or toxic relationships to fill the gap they discover when they've gotten everything they want. The ones with insight say that the best time they had was in the early days, when they were on the way up.

Mr Trump experienced dukkha when he was erected president. He discovered the emptiness that comes with achieving your goal - in his case, a goal Mr Trump never expected to achieve. Hillary certainly did.

King Solomon describes Dukkha best, I think, in the Book of Ecclesiastes:

Quote:


The best song to describe dukkha, I think, is Devo's frenetic version of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. In every sense - vocals, harmony, beat - the song doesn't hit the mark. It leaves you wanting more.

So sure, in many cases, suffering means suffering. The world exists on death and rebirth. Our bodies only exist by eating other life forms. All beings are the same. Even plants require the nutrition of other dead plants chewed over by earthworms in the soil.

But the best case scenario - reaching the summit of the "narrow path to success" - is suffering too. Getting there is mostly luck. But when you do, you want more and more. It's this - the desire for more - that perpetuates life, death and rebirth.

And it all comes from dukkha.

I would beware of drinking anything there   it could be laced with some kind of relaxing feel good stuff so you end up buying one of everything at the worlds most POSITIVE shop.

cods wrote on Mar 22^nd, 2019 at 7:33am:



a lot of this stuff is very nuanced .


people often think all these things are a scam and fair enough.


part of "spending cash' is the subconscious transformation of "being invested".

so a guy might buy a chick a 10,000 dollar diamond ring.

now, you could , quite rightly say he has fallen for a scam.

but he is now invested in that relationship and he is going to work harder to make the relationship work because of the investment.


you can buy a robbins book for 10 dollars on the internet.

or maybe you spend the  BIG dough for a weekend.

sure , you are being scammed.

but you are more brought in now, you are invested, the change is more likely to 'stick".

i see a lot of cynical people who never buy in to anything and they are usually losers.

as an example, my 2 daughters sell real estate and one spent 1000 dollars for a one day course to improve your public speaking.

what a scam !!!

really?

she says she reckons she has sold maybe 5 or 6 more houses in the last 12 months thanks to that investment.
at a commision of 10 grand or so , per sale, thats just super value.

the people in the durr state, cant see it
they cant see the heights to which people can ascend.

they are like whiteknight calling for an extra 50 dollars a fortnight on the dole when there are literally millions of dollars waiting to be attained if you just have the right attitude.

a POSITIVE ATTITUDE

steve and janeen are "cautionary tales".
can they be helped by a positivity challenge?
probably not.

heres what i have seen.

rich people DO try to help people by giving them a hand up.
but people who arent "brought in' will always mess up.

and you know what happens then?
do you think they are grateful that a rich person tried to help them?

no way.

they say 'that rich guy tried to trick me, that rich guy tried to scam me' and they hate on the guy even more.

once that happens to a rich guy a couple of times (and its happened to me ), you just realise you cant help most people.

but there is a great joy in mentoring young people who are passionate and full of enthusiasm.
so you find someone like that and you give them an opportunity and then when they do it, you give them 5 more opportunities.

and that IS how the world works.

i dont hate steve and janeen.
i just know that you mess around with steve and janeen and they are just going to hate on you.

you want to know another group i see as "cautionary tales"?

guys who built a business and then lost their passion and just tried to cruise, thought they could rest.

guys like that are made to pay.
everything will be taken from them
success has to be earnt and re earnt on a daily basis.

its why the poor kid who makes it big will always have the edge over the guy who just got handed it.
because the more disadvantages you have to overcome , the more it hardens you.
and you need that understanding
you need that "blue collar work ethic" if you are going to continue to crush it

""so a guy might buy a chick a 10,000 dollar diamond ring.""


You been hanging out with a few high rollers Cods lol, That would just about drain my account

Mattyfisk wrote on Mar 22^nd, 2019 at 2:42pm:



thats not quite how i see it.

i think all people want piles of cash and lots of attention from the opposite sex.
you need to own that.


are you saying most people dont want that.
i disagree.

so you own it and you go on the journey to aspire to it and that expands you as a person.

now when you GET it, you realise it doesnt make you happy and you can then go to the next paradigm.
"enjoying the journey for the sake of walking the path"

the reason happiness usually doesnt "stick' is because you have been stressed and ungrateful as you aspired to success and stress and ingratitude is now your emotional 'set point'.  thats you now!!.

far better advice for someone climbing would to be to do gratitude training every day , so that you can have a set point of gratitude and then it "would' stick.



but what i have found amongst the people who say they DONT want piles of cash and they DONT want a hot partner is that they are just using moral superiority to cover up their own desires.

i find most people who would criticise someone for aspiring to cash or success with women is that they are the most creepy little sneaky shiiits who want it soooo bad that it hurts them to admit it and they have to suppress it.

and it comes out as sneaky little behaviours to scam other people or sneaky little behaviours to try to have an affair with their partners sister , all sorts of creepy opportunistic crap.

so its better to won it
walk the path of action and material success.
see it isnt the answer
only  THEN can you transcend it and move on 

again, we differ a bit.

i think young men should strive to build a business, give and recieve (profits), give good masculine energy to women and recieive (sex) and then transcend that , realise it doesnt create permanent bliss and then go into contribution and walk the path for the sake of walking it.

now, if you are in tibet, theres not a lot going on so you might as well just skip my steps and go straight to trying to eliminate desire.


but what I SEE IN THE WEST, is LAZY guys who are SCARED and lack COURAGE and think they can go sit at byron bay on the dole and smoke weed and put on this FAKE SPIRITUALITY, this FAKE LACK OF DESIRE.

and its all BS because they are using LAZINESS as an excuse for APATHY and INACTION.

and these same spiritual types are the first to get really mad and emotional if you try ot take away their weed or their dole or tell them they have a giant ego attached to the concept of MORAL SUPERIORITY.

never let ANYONE shame you for trying to get  build a business, earn a profit or get quality women.
they are shaming you because they want the same things so bad that seeing someone else trying to get it makes them go INSANE
