I must say I have a lot of negative energy in me. I am a hard core pessimist. I usually decide that things will just not go my way and give up at the very beginning. This in particular has been detrimental to my writing career. I have loads of ideas but have been skeptical as regards to getting them on paper and even if I have managed to bring my ideas to life, I start doubting if any magazine would be interested. I have been trying hard to come out of my negative skin and have succeeded a few times and those were the times my articles got printed. Not many, I must say.
I guess I lack the confidence and the passion. I need to completely get over my negativity because that’s the only thing that’s stopping me from becoming an accomplished writer. I’ve read so many books on overcoming this negative element but then these self help books have not been of much help. I tend to sleep midway into the book. I have friends and family supporting me but my cynical attitude has been my greatest disadvantage. So let me see, I try to get at least 5 articles in print this year. I give myself a goal and I just might overcome my disability.
But, what if I don’t? Oh! Boy, here I go again.
Think positive, be positive, negative thoughts only lead to negative things. You have the power within you to change. Many wishes of luck
