The key to success and failure is the same attitude. If you were to analyze the lives of 95 of people, you would see that most of them have an attitude geared towards failure. So, the question must be asked, why do so many people have such an attitude?
All of us are familiar with the phrase You are what you eat , and there is a lot of truth in that. Most of us are happy to acknowledge that, indeed, “We are what we eat“, because it is quite easy to quantify. We are able to literally see the results that years of eating poor food has on the body. It goes beyond just what you eat though, and the saying You are what you consume , which includes everything in your life that feeds your mind, is more apt. If eating junk food is clearly bad for your body, then just think what happens to your mind when you constantly give it junk emotions and information to process.
Phrases such as We are the masters of our own destiny and We are the bringers of our own fate are also familiar to most, but they have remained very much in the abstract, all a little bit airy fairy , due to the relative impossibility to see the effects that our thoughts have on our lives. Now though, with advances in medicine and quantum physics, it is becoming increasing possible to scientifically measure the effects that come from the negativity that many people surround themselves in.
One recent experiment from the HeartMath Institute had people direct their feelings of anger, stress, love or peace at pristine DNA. The results they found were staggering. When feelings of anger or stress were directed at the DNA, the DNA tightened and emitted photons of light. When feelings of love or peace were directed at the DNA, the DNA opened or unwound and attracted light to it.
If we are to believe the findings of quantum physics, that everything in the universe is simply energy, vibrating at a certain frequency, then this makes perfect sense. So, how can this help you you? Well, the experiment suggests that how you feel has an effect on the other forms of life and energy around you, and the more positive and relaxed you are, the more open they will be, and the better your interactions with them.
Therefore, you should adopt a positive, can do attitude at all times, from the moment you wake up, until the moment that you go to sleep. By living like that, you can expect life to be more positive to you in return, and that continued positivity will quickly translate itself into success. It would be wrong to dismiss this advice, as not only is there practical evidence to back it up, in the form of the attitudes displayed by those who are already successful, there is now also scientific evidence to back it up too, in the form of the experiment discussed above, and also ones similar to it. What more proof could you want?
