Solutions

Negative people don’t want solutions. Solutions mean they have to work to find something else to be negative about.

Tom Ziglar

How is this motivating? Well it should motivate you to cut negative people loose and don’t let them drag you down!

Surround yourself with positive, solution-oriented people and you will experience a gain in happiness and joy.

Learning and training

The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.

P. B. Medawar

Similar to your muscles being sore after a hard workout, your brain gets strained by use. This should not discourage but encourage you to use it even more. Train your brain like you would train your muscles, by use and intelligent repetition.
