Alex Iwobi Quotes

Why choose to be negative when you don't have to?

I try to be upbeat. I read this book which tells you to write down everything that you're grateful for each day. Now I'm constantly noticing all the little things that make me joyful.

Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false.

I don't waste any time at all. I have no time at all for people who are being very negative or people who are very whiny or people who feel sorry for themselves. I tend to go to them and just say, you don't understand how incredible life is and how precious it is.

Life is too short to spend in negativity. So I have made a conscious effort to not be where I don't want to be.

I try not to think about negative thoughts and possibilities and disaster and things like that.

I just want to focus on the positive things in my life.

Why be negative when you can enjoy life and be positive? That's something I learned over the years.

The technique of positive thinking is not a technique that transforms you. It is simply repressing the negative aspects of your personality. It is a method of choice. It cannot help awareness; it goes against awareness. Awareness is always choiceless.

Until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.

Be happy. Don't make a Vine about, like, something not that happy.

I sensed that my life was better when I focused on things that were working as opposed to focusing on the long list that goes wrong, but I wanted to know if there was any validity to that.

Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.

I know there's millions of problems in the world, but if you dwell on those, then you're going to be miserable. I think my meditation helps me to transcend and get beyond the grip of all the negativity and regenerate from within a more positive attitude, which comes in very handy when you're going to do 150 concerts a year.

Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.

The thing that I've learned is that there really is no joy, and nothing ever good is going to come from negativity. Those are thoughts that, even if you were presenting an honest version of yourself, there's just no point in sharing.

I guess I don't think there's any reason to feel guilty about having joy in your life, regardless of how bad things are in the world.

The happiest people in this world are those who have the most interesting thoughts.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.

I think I was always joyous, but I don't think I became very aware of positivity and its power until I became older. I always did it naturally, but then I lost it, and it forced me to find it again and appreciate it more.

Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.

I try to appreciate every day.

There are so many great things in life; why dwell on negativity?

I always focus on the negatives.
