Hi friend @amestyj. Thanks for this thoughtful post, really positive thinking is the best way to achieve results or attract good energies, our mind is very powerful, and when we fervently believe that we can achieve something seems that all our actions are directed in it, but if we think negatively we limit our energy and we get discouraged easily.
Hello my dear friend @emilomoron, sometimes it seems that it is easier to get discouraged than to be positive, which as you mention affects our energies and considerably decreases our actions which slows down or paralyzes what we want to achieve.
See you later brother, have a happy new year !
