In order to live a healthy life, we must have an optimistic mind. Positivity increases motivation and we tend to achieve our goals smoothly. On the other hand, there are very few people that acknowledge this. Most people are left with negative thoughts. It is important for every person to allow positive thoughts in their brains to flow so that they can live a better life. It can be a bit hard to believe that all of the misfortunate incidents happening in your life are caused by your own way of thinking and acting. No wonder negativity reduces workplace talent.
We don’t take responsibility for our own failures and we don’t believe in the idea of thinking critically. We point out the flaws of other people instead of fixing our own. If any misfortunate incident happens to you again, try examining the situation and think of different solutions to the problem instead of panicking your way out. We fill our heads with unhealthy thoughts which ruin a perfectly good impression of something or someone.
Having a positive mind can lead to positive achievements. Are you aware of the things that you can achieve with a positive mindset? With an optimistic approach, one can not only solve their problems, but they can become motivated to face other challenges in life. 90% of an individual’s problems disappear by having a positive attitude. Our lives become better with an optimistic approach.
Benefits of Positive Thinking
1.A better Lifestyle
Did you know those who think positively live longer? When we notice a tiny flaw in any situation, we become boorish and consider it as a mil around our necks. All of these assumptions create stress for us and we tend to lose sleep. Our body becomes pressurized, we get anxiety and nothing satisfies us. Once we get rid of those unhealthy thoughts, our physical burdens also disappear and we start to live healthy.
2.You become more motivated
With an optimistic mind, you become more concentrated towards your problems and think of different solutions to resolve them. Once you realize the fact that one problem cannot cause your whole world to crush down, you become more focused and making the right decision becomes easier.
3.Stress Releases
When a positive thinker is blasted with an unfortunate incident, they focus on solving the problem without considering how big or small it is. Positive thinkers have a lot of control on their actions and thoughts and hence they can think and speak more fluently. A positive thinker does not have the word “stress” in their vocabulary.
4.Long-lasting Relationships
Those who think positively make a good impression on others. People are attracted to those who know how to handle a friendship and positive thinkers are professionals at it. Positive thinkers have a wonderful social life. The situation is exactly the same when it comes to balancing a relationship.
5.Confidence Level Increases
You become more confident with an optimistic mind. You are by others and you love yourself, … Read More
On a steamy May morning in 2013, Canva CEO Melanie Perkins found herself adrift on a kiteboard in the channel between billionaire Richard Branson’s private Necker and Moskito islands.
Her 30-foot sail floating deflated and useless beside her in the strong eastern Caribbean current, the 26-year-old entrepreneur waited for hours to be rescued. As she treaded water, her left leg scarred by a past collision with a coral reef, she reminded herself that her dangerous new hobby was worth it. After all, it was key to the fundraising strategy for the design-software startup she’d cofounded with her boyfriend six years before.
Canva was based in Australia, thousands of miles from tech’s Silicon Valley power corridor. Getting a meeting—much less funding—was proving tough. Perkins heard “no” from more than 100 investors. So when she met the organizer of a group of kitesurfing venture capitalists at a pitch competition in her native Perth, Perkins got to training. The next time the group met to hear startup pitches and potentially write crucial early-stage funding checks, she’d have a seat at the table—even if it meant having to brave treacherous waters.
“It was like, risk: serious damage; reward: start company,” Perkins says. “If you get your foot in the door just a tiny bit, you have to kind of wedge it all the way in.”
Such perseverance has long been a necessity at Canva, which began as a modest yearbook-design business in the state capital of Perth on Australia’s west coast. From those remote origins, Canva has grown into a global juggernaut. Twenty-million-plus users from 190 countries use the company’s “freemium” Web-based app to design everything from splashy Pinterest graphics to elegant restaurant menus. Besides an impossible-to-beat price (millions of users pay nothing at all), Canva’s key advantage over rival products from tech giants like Adobe has been its ease of use. Before Canva, amateurs had to stitch together designs in Microsoft Word or pay through the nose for confusing professional tools. Today, anyone, anywhere, can download Canva and be creating within ten minutes.
The company’s revenue comes from upselling to a $10-a-month premium version with snazzier features or, more recently, from sales of a streamlined corporate account option. High-quality stock photos—of which Canva has millions—cost another $1. It adds up. This year the company expects to more than double its revenue to $200 million; its most recent $85 million funding round valued it at $3.2 billion. Perkins, now 32 and an alum of the 2016 Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, has an estimated 15% stake, valued at $430 million. Throw in her 34-year-old cofounder—and now fiancé—Cliff Obrecht’s similar stake, and the Aussie power couple are likely worth more than $800 million.
In an era of billion-dollar checks from SoftBank and high-profile profligacy at WeWork, Perkins and Obrecht do things differently. They are couch surfers who prefer budget trips to private jets. (This summer, with Canva already valued at…
