Negativity Isn’t Practical
Every now and then you’ll come across one of those people… You know the type; whatever your dreams, hopes or desires, they will tear them down; attempt to destroy every positive thought you ever had or ridicule you for being ‘unrealistic’. Sometimes, people have the best of intentions for trying to pull you back from your dreams. People who really love you and don’t want to see you hurt or disappointed will tell you don’t go for that, it’s too much, what if you fail? Even though we all know that if you don’t attempt something, you can never succeed at it. Nevertheless, some people will still tell you not to try; ‘you should be sensible, practical… keep your feet on the ground and your head out of the clouds’. But ask yourself; is that really sensible advice?
Dare to Believe
Do you ever wonder if anything good is ever going to happen to you? Is ‘why me’ your mantra? Everything always happens good to everyone else but me. What am I doing wrong? These are more statements and questions I hear quite often.
How to Develop Positive Thinking
It is only in a calm and peaceful mind that powerful thoughts and positive ideas can take root. The attainment of inner peace is possible through the practices of emptying the mind, and replacing the feelings of fears, hate, insecurities, regrets, guilt with creative and healthy thoughts. You should focus not just upon mind but also also on speech. Norman Vincent Peale, author of the bestseller, The Power of Positive Thinking says, “Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind… It is important to eliminate from conversations all negative ideas, for they tend to produce tension and annoyance inwardly” (p. 27). One must also find some time alone in quiet contemplation thinking about nothing. Picture your mind as a smooth pond and let there be no ripples. Peale quotes Abraham Lincoln, “People were just about as happy as they made their minds up to be” (p. 70) to prove that happiness is a choice. You get what you choose. Happiness is a matter of habit. It is the state you decide to be in. One should speak to one’s unconscious mind. It is a powerful entity that can transform mental habits and attitudes toward positive direction, provided we are firm and persist in our endeavor. Peale goes on to show how we can rid of our negative personal traits and inculcate positive virtues through positive thinking. The methods and strategies taught by Peale to culture positive thoughts are practical steps that can be adopted by any one to solve problems, get rid of anger and other negative emotions, and drain away all your malice, and attain the ultimate self-improvement.
