Embracing the benefits of positive thinking

The most positive people are the ones that can also see life for what it truly is; a beautiful wonderful gift, not without adversity, writes Richard Hogan

WHAT makes someone think positively? This is a question I often ask myself when I’m in the therapeutic setting with a client that is having difficulty seeing any good in their life. Clients often seek out therapy after life has dealt them a series of devastating blows, and it can be quiet difficult to hear some people describe their life story without it impacting on your own sense of positivity and hope too, because random horrible things happen to people without any good cause.
