"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"

"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so" is one of Shakespeare best quotes as it shows us the power of our mind. We can take anything how we want to interpret it. If your optimistic then turn negatives into positives, look for the light in the situation so to speak not the darkness. I was recently watching an interview a reporter did with a multi millionaire and he was talking about the importance of taking negative comments and turning them around into positives because you possess the power. For example he was saying that after one of his seminars some guy came up to him and he was like "Your the biggest asshole I have ever seen in my life" and the multi millionaire responded by saying "Why thank you, there are a lot of asshole out there and I'm number one on your list, wow it's always so hard to become number one at anything. Thank you so much." It's because of this optimistic outlook that he has obtained so much wealth today. This principle can not only be applied when someone makes a negative comment to you, but also when things aren't just going your way. All you have to do is look for the light in the darkness and you have the power to take things how you want to take them.
