Could A Book Help Me Be A Positive Person?

By Adam Tyler Cook


For some people, positivity is merely an idea while for others positivity is a way of life. The topic of the glass half full and the glass half empty have long been a topic for debate and classification of people from the pessimists, the optimists and the realists.

For your pessimists, the a glass is half unfilled. For the optimists, your glass is 1 / 2 full. For your realists, someone drank in the glass of h2o.

Whatever an individual may focus on and wherever in the world he or she may be, it is fact that being positive is part of human nature. And therefore, it can be developed.

The topic at hands is: can a book help anyone become a positive person? The answer is in the positive. You can find three ways of how a book may help individual positivity.

First, the obvious is when an individual can relate to a story which is tagged as inspirational, he cannot help but wonder if the same thing can happen to him if he would just be positive about it like the attitude of the protagonist of the story. Hence, this is often called the 'human relation factor'.

Have you at any time wondered why you can find motivational speakers? Maybe you have thought to yourself why you can find books which speak about positive thoughts, statements and affirmations, and just around the law of attraction normally? This is since individuals like the thinking behind a challenge. If others are able to do it, then the reason can't you? This is the obvious first component.

Second, a book is often a reflection of an individual's mental state. If you buy the Prince by Machiavelli, you will see that there is a big effect and reflection of the book to individual idealism and thought. If you buy the Twilight Series, you will see how it will reflect your views on love although it may be a supernatural fiction. If you buy the fifty shades of grey, then you know that you can appeal to your feminine side.

In this case, if you buy a book on positive affirmations, then you may reflect positive frame of mind towards your mental well-being which is a fact.

With these two points, it is obvious that positivity does not only come from within but it comes as well from a reflection of one's life and one's beliefs. If you want to be positive about something, then it is necessary for you to try and grab a book with positive affirmations so the positive thoughts will reflect on you.
