One of the things I always hear after I speak is someone coming up to me, telling me what a great job I did, be it a keynote, breakout or training, and then telling me that “That’s not negative thinking, it realistic thinking.”
They never describe positive thinking as realistic. To them there’s only positive thinking or realistic thinking. I find that very telling and amusing.
If negative thinking is realistic…what is positive thinking?

Hi,
We create our own reality. If you are raised around positive people then you would think that positive thinking is the only reality. You would view it as “normal.”
Since many people are raised in negative environments they view negative thinking as being realistic.
Thanks for sharing your insight
