Having a positive mindset is essential to living life to the fullest. Gary Vaynerchuk knows this to be true 100%. His positivity is his fuel for success. A positive frame of mind can be a daily reminder and mantra. Gary believes that “Positivity Always Wins.”
Positive people forgive
Among the most important traits of positive people is their ability to forgive. This attitude allows them to focus on the positive aspects of life, rather than dwelling on past bad experiences. They try to see the best in every situation and actively work to build up others. In addition, they like to give back to society and look for the silver lining in any negative situation.
As a result, people with a positive outlook don’t hold grudges or live in a state of perpetual scarcity. They are more rounded, accepting of others, and don’t take anything personally. Furthermore, they don’t treat daydreaming as a weakness, and they use visualization as a tool for manifestation. They visualize their dream homes, and vacations, and make plans to achieve them.
Positivity also means taking responsibility for your life. Positive people always choose to be happy and don’t blame the world or others for their own bad days. This mindset helps them to thrive in a wide variety of situations, including the most challenging ones. They spend a significant amount of time each day practicing being positive.
They let go of control
Negativity thrives on lies. By believing a negative person’s lies, they hold you back. For example, when you tolerate someone’s negative behavior, you may think they’ll hate you if you leave. It’s not uncommon for negative people to say they don’t like you because they believe they’ll be prickled by their thorns.
They let go of fear
The key to letting go of fear is to understand that it is our mind that creates negative emotions. Whatever negative thoughts you may have, at the core of them are feelings of fear. Whether you’re afraid of failure, the look on other people’s faces, or the money that you’ve wasted, fear is what makes us suffer. By accepting our limitations and focusing on the present, we can let go of negative thoughts.
They let go of anxiety
According to licensed social worker Steve Gross, founder of the Life is Good Kids Foundation, “Positive thinking always wins when people let go of anxiety.” Anxiety is a physiologic response to a perceived threat. This bias dates back to our early days when we hunted for food. Constant threats of being attacked forced us into a fight-or-flight state. This physiological response is a normal part of life, but it can become exaggerated if we’re not prepared for the threat.
