You can make whatever you wont to happen if you believe in yourself. A friend of mine being like myself likes to be in bed before midnight, mmmm, actually 10.30pm most nights so going out and seeing live music can be challenging. Most bands don’t start playing until 10-11pm so it ends up being a very late night.

So my friend Richard decides if I can’t get to see the bands, why can’t the bands come to me, or to my lounge room.

Well this is the sixth time bands have played in Richard’s lounge room and were talking about quality Australian music with Leah Flanagan and The Yealings playing over the weekend. A review from Tom Jellett from the Weekend Australian “The Yearlings’ previous albums have hinted at great things to come and Highway Dancing may just be it.

So thee were 2 ways at looking at what Richard did, firstly you can say who will play in my lounge room at all net alone for free or look at the situation positively and think that this is an opportunity for local bands to extend there audience.

Ultimately it’s all about projecting positive thoughts and energy, Richard know gets approached by not only local but international artists.

So think about this for all areas of your life, whether it is weight loss or being happier in your life, ultimately you can make it happen.

Failure is only an event, not a lifestyle so change your thinking.
Keep it positive & look at these unplanned events as drawing us closer to our final goal.

Like the old saying goes, we learn from our mistake or rather I like to keep it positive and look at these unplanned events and drawing us closer to our final goal.

If you go jogging to keep healthy and trip over a stick on the foot path, do you stop jogging as you are fearful of tripping over again or do you learn from the experience and pay more attention to where you are jogging?

Alternatively you can keep focusing on looking for something that you may trip over and guess what, you will find it and repeat the tripping event over and over again.

So rather start to view a failure as an event and change your thinking.

Having a positive attitude to every thing in your life is contagious, positiveness attracts more positive outcomes.

People who are positive are nice to be around, have a and healthier & happier life, this in turn rubs off to those people in their company.

This starts the spiral of positiveness.

So how do with ensure we keep this positive spiral spinning in the right direction?

Here are some stepos to keep you on track:

1.Don’t focus on the negatives

2.Believe in yourself, visualise yourself achieving the goal, how happy you are feeling within yourself

3.Perform an act of kindness very day (Blog link), maybe it can be as simple as complementing the person who serves you a coffee in the morning or saying Goodmorning to a perfect stranger and smiling, chances are they will smile back

4.Surround your self with positive people

5.Say something positive about yourself every day (positive affirmations)

So start by having a more positive attitude today and let your positiveness be contagious to others

Do you keep falling into the same hole on the sidewalk – footpath, make positive changes.
It’s time to make some positive changes in your life to avoid falling into the same hole.

There is a great story by Portia Nelson titled “THERE’S A HOLE IN MY SIDEWALK” covered in 5 short chapters.

The great thing about life is we can keep repeating the same actions or behaviors or we can learn from the experience and over a period of time make positive changes that ultimately make falling down the holes of life a thing of the past.

Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost …. I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit … but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street.

So we are you and where would you rather be, either keep falling into the sidewalk – footpath holes or make some positive changes.

Switch your mind – switch your attitude and change your belief system.

To often we believe this is the best job, the best friends or life I can expect however are we creating our own reality with these beliefs.
How often does complacency and mediocrity overpower us into limiting our true potential?
How often do you hear the comment, geez, they are lucky, they always get the best jobs or always win what ever contest they enter, you can easily add the word “luck” into the equation.

Is it coincidence that these people have good fortune or do they believe they will achieve a chosen outcome?
So why not switch mind set, change that attitude and belief system today.
