Positive minds see opportunities in every negative or positive circumstance. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow; every error is an opportunity to learn; and every success is an opportunity to leap forward. How you see everything under the sun depends on your state of mind. Keep your mind positive, and you would be able to find the positive aspect of everything negative or positive. Unrestrained and unconditional positivity makes every step a stair of opportunity, which leads to personal and/or professional growth. If you are consistently ascending the stairs of opportunity, reaching high and far horizons of success is imminent.

The world is brimming with seas of opportunities and stories of unimaginable human resilience during times of both rough waters and smooth sailing. Positive stories inspire countless others to embrace or develop or find or invent ways of functioning and thinking which would ultimately lead to avenues of success. The world is not as imperfect or large or bad as we have been made to imagine it. Continue to spread positivity in your thoughts, words and deeds, and you would find the world more and more agreeable as you grow, until you see how perfect, small and good it is.

Hold hands of other pathetically positive people, and you would experience the power of positivity every day in all your endeavours – again, personal and/or professional.
