Positive Thinking: It is Better To Laugh Than To End Up Crying

"You have to laugh, otherwise you'll cry" is one of my favorite sayings. It constantly brings a broad smile on my face. If you’ve an experience which you would rather forget, simply laugh it off. In "Find It, Fix It, Flip It!" Michael Corbett talks about how you need to turn your negative and destructive thoughts into positive thoughts.
I'll share a small number of incidents where I laughed whole heartedly.

I had decided to initiate my own company; walked away from a really lucrative expatriate setup, with a young family started paying dividends. In a return trip to a valet company with my older car, my two year old choose to bring up her Wagamama dinner in the back of the car.

"You ought to laugh"
A few months back, my wife came back home from a weekend in the country and said that she wanted to live in the country to ensure that our girls will be able to run around and have fun. I agreed after just thinking it over for couple of seconds. So we put our Mission Bay home for sale and started planning for a new life in the country. It has been a few months there after and now we are living in a beachfront house and we are still planning for a country life.

Temporary residence - Check
Schooling for the Children - to do
Getting new Consumers in the new area -in progress.
It was Tuesdays and we had a meet and greet at a meet and greet at our daughter's kindergarten at 10am and I even had a gathering with a potential customer at 11.30 am. We were ten minutes early for the meet and greet, so we decided that we’ll drive around and check out a couple of other houses. As I took a turn, I heard strange noises coming from inside the car, I turned around and saw my two year old Emily puking for a second time in the car. I had three choices with me now,

1. Clean my daughter up, race home, clean the car and get to the client meeting

2. Leave her at the side of the street and return and pick her up afterwards

3. Sit on the road and cry

To tell you the fact, I considered the second and the third possibilities only after everything. We cleaned our daughter, went to the meet and greet and spent five minutes, went back home, I cleaned up the car, took a short coffee break, and arrived for the meeting with my prospective client with five minutes to spare.

The end result?
2 year old - 2
Audi - 0
New Client - 1
And to top this all off, the very next day my daughter Emily took her mum's car key and put it in her father's car. Only after I had left for a meeting with one more prospective client that was an hour's drive did I find out about it. so I had to add another additional hour for the return the key dash and on top of all that, afterwards, in the same day my wife was left high and dry with the kids after her car broke down.

What was the end result?
Day two score:
2 year old - 3
Audi - 0
Old Car - -1
New Client - 2
All this happened in just twenty eight hours!!
So what is the positive thinking lesson in this??
In fact everything in life is concerning positive thinking.

I could have postponed those two meetings and if something had come up on the other side; I could have lost two opportunities. All you require is a bit of positive thinking with a little perseverance, and it is possible for you to accomplishing anything you set your mind to. And do not worry, if you do not achieve it, you will achieve experience and you can definitely achieve it the next time or the time after that.
