Negative minds and positive thinkers

    Why is negativity normally over-powering our minds? We could constantly think we are too fat, too ugly, never good enough or always the person who comes last. I'm almost certain that we've all been there.                                 

     However, watching a clip on Youtube my thoughts changed completely. The clip was called "Never give up by Nick Vujicic" 

    So, I'm watching this clip that my mother's partner had found on Youtube. Being him I thought it would be a seriously old comedy that he loved to watch. Thundering down the stairs, I then stood next to him to see what he has found. The clip brought tears to my eyes and made me rethink what i'm like. Negative thoughts about myself isn't going to make me better or stronger? Spotting my flaws seemed nearly impossible to me until that clip had finished. 

    Within the Youtube video it showed him how he goes through his day to day jobs without any help. It honestly amazed me as to how positive he actually was. He even explained that when he fell over - to me it seemed nearly impossible that he couldn't get up without some help. However he proved me wrong. He got up with ease and after I was shocked. He explains that getting up was harder until he learned a way of doing it. It's a lot like putting yourself down, how are you going to get up after you hit rock bottom? Is someone else going to help you, or are you going to use your thoughts and fight to get back up onto your feet. 

    If I were to meet this man I would never want to leave his side. My curiosity would take over and I would want to find out all the stories and battles he did whilst he was growing up. 

    This man has probably changed the way I think completely within an hour. I have no doubt that anyone could've moved me in the way that he did. Hopefully you will find something like that to change your perspective on, not only yourself but the people around you aswell. If you have any spare time it might be worth the watch.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snDQe3tWwRQ
