The Power of Positive Thinking
"There is no value in life except what you
choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to
it yourself."
-Henry David Thoreau
Beyond The Quote
Having a positive
attitude toward the things around you will determine life’s overall importance.
If you are truly happy and appreciate all that you have, wealth will flow
freely throughout your life.
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the
mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and
success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A
positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of
every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.
Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some
consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe
and accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it
effectively to get results. Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to
this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it.
This is a subject that is gaining popularity.
It is quite common to hear people say: "Think
positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Most people do not take
these words seriously, as they do not know what they really mean, or do not
consider them as useful and effective. How many people do you know, who stop to
think what the power of positive thinking means?
Positive and negative thinking are both contagious.
All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet.
This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through thoughts and
feelings transference, and through body language. People sense our aura and are
affected by our thoughts, and vice versa. Is it any wonder that we want to be
around positive people and avoid negative ones? People are more disposed to
help us if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting
negativity.
Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up negative and
unhappy moods and actions. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into
the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to
failure, frustration and disappointment.
Practical Instructions:
Here are a few actions and tips to help you develop the
power of positive thinking:
Always use only
positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, 'I can', 'I
am able', 'it is possible', 'it can be done', etc.
Allow into your
awareness only feelings of happiness, strength and success.
Try to disregard and
ignore negative thoughts. Refuse to think such thoughts, and substitute them
with constructive happy thoughts.
In your conversation
use words that evoke feelings and mental images of strength, happiness and
success.
Before starting with
any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. If
you visualize with concentration and faith, you will be amazed at the results.
Read at least one
page of inspiring book every day.
Watch movies that
make you feel happy.
Minimize the time
you listen to the news and read the papers.
Associate yourself with people who think positively.
Always sit and walk
with your back straight. This will strengthen your confidence and inner
strength.
Walk, swim or engage
in some other physical activity. This helps to develop a more positive
attitude.
Think positive and expect only favorable results and
situations, even if your current circumstances are not as you wish them to be.
In time, your mental attitude will affect your life and circumstances and
change them accordingly.
