You can't let bad thoughts control your life. If you change your thoughts, you will change your life.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that positive thinkers are going to be more successful than negative thinkers. If you bring positive thinking into your life, success will come to you. If you have negative thinking you will be more susceptible to giving up. If J.K Rowling gave up the first time her book was rejected than we wouldn't have Harry Potter and our lives would be bleaker because of it.

3. Less Stress.

Some people live their life not knowing how blessed they really are because they're too busy complaining about things. Everybody has negative things happen to them but it's how you over come the obstacles in your life that truly show how great you are. If you're always complaining then you loose the appreciation you have for things in your life. So take time to smell the roses and appreciate what you've got.

5. Problems turn into opportunities.

If you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones you will see the bottle as "half full," rather than "half empty." You will start noticing solutions to your problems and you will realize that it is an opportunity to grow. Anyone that has had a math class knows any "problem" can be "solved."
