Positive mindset, Is it powerful?

What do we describe as a positive mindset? It is as simple as thinking positively even in the worst case situation. When the numbers says that you won't meet your Q3 forecast, you have to keep thinking that you can do it and then take the necessary action to achieve it. It is obviously about being positive but it is also about never giving up and having the ability to turn on a dime.

Back in the days, I was defeatist. As the time flew, I changed my mindset to be more positive when facing tough situation. It helped me when I was stressed, when I was sad, when I was mad and when my world was falling apart. It helped me when I did my first triathlon and when I went through my first real business deal. I've been able to do all this because my mind was positively set.

''He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right'' - Confucius -

This is a quotes I often use in my everyday life. You can set your mind to do everything you want and it is important that you do it. If you want to do a back-flip for the first time and you don't believe you can do it, then you will fail at doing  it or worst you won't do it. On the counter part, if your mind believe that you can do it, you are more likely to succeed. It is not an exact science but in most case it works.

You have to understand the limit of what you can do and endure, if you don't understand yourself and your own limit you might push yourself to far. 

I truly believe that if I keep a positive mindset day after day I am more destined to achieve whatever I want to do. You can't work your way to the top by thinking that you will never do it. This is two ideas that don't fit together, they can't both be in the same sentence.

My conclusion would be that having a positive mindset is as powerful as you want it to be.

Be positive!

@WLKNSTORE

The W that looks just like any other popular W.
- Wikipedia - It is actually not the usual W, WLKN Quebec is probably the most trendy concept developed in Quebec as a boutique. Of course there is a lot of cool store all around the city, but there is nothing like stepping in the Boutique W. If you are looking for dope clothes, this is the place to go - no diggity - From Entree Lifestyle to Crooks&Castles, stopping by Society and Civil clothing and of course don't forget the WLKN Brand, those are only a few of the amazing brands. By the time I made my first step in the store, I was already astonished by the trendy and classy look. You can't miss the bay window - the huge bay window with poster inside - located at the corner of  De l'Eglise and Quatre-Bourgeois. They worked really hard on the branding and it pays off, after a little more than a year they already have almost 20 000 followers on their facebook page. - You can also follow them on Twitter - The word has been spread from Quebec to Montreal in less than a year or so. This is probably one of the most successful branding all around the Province. The bad thing is they probably won't  open in Montreal, the only option is to order online.

Urban Bike

This is definitely the best way to move yourself in downtown. We have seen a lot of people riding these bikes in the last year. Why? It is not expensive. It is faster. It keeps you in shape. Hey what else do you want?

You can take pretty much any old or new bicycle and then turn it into a single-speed bike. The single-speed is single gear bike, so only one speed. Usually, they use the 3:1 ratio which gives you power but you still have the possibility to climb up hill. The mechanic is simple so everyone or almost can repair those bikes. It is also faster than driving a car or taking the public transit because you cannot get stuck in the traffic and it obviously keeps you in shape.

Some company took the opportunity to sell high-performance single-speed bike with carbon wheel and you can also customize your bike. Check out the website -->single-speed bike

Houses Within houses

When we are young, we are so happy to build house in our house. Who says houses within houses were only for kids. Here is an interesting concept of it. They built an house to create a separate bedroom inside a loft. It might look a little infantile to some people but I actually think that it is a pretty cool way to create intimacy in an open living space. It is the kind of thing that you like or you don't. But that is nice anyways. Plywood and 2x4 is all you need to build it.

New York x Design x Apartment

It is worth looking at this wonderful loft located in New York City not far from the popular Meatpacking District. A modern apartment from which you have an astonishing view. A very spacious apartment -Seriously very spacious- , a modern style, a lot of sunlight, What else do you want? The loft to dream about! - I want one NOW -

Car x Dad



A car you can drive fast, a car that can handle  every 90 degrees curve, a car that sounds like hell and mainly a car that looks so cool that everyone turns their heads when you pass. An all wheel drive for the winter, a 6 speeds transmission for the fuel efficiency, a V8 4.2 liters for the power... And an avant model which allows you to bring your kids to the soccer Sunday morning - That's what we need - The perfect car for dad who needs to bring their kids to school every morning. A reliable and  safe car with which you won't be late to work or to your meeting. - except when you have a public danger in front of you, But hey.. That's life! - AUDI RS4 Station-Wagon.
