I've had some
bad mornings in my life – mornings where I was late for routine life style,
continues anger towards anything or anyone whom I see on my way, ended being
cornered to myself. I was in complete dilemma without knowing how to move
further. Then one day I analyzed my life and found out the great truth, that
anyone can face problems in life, there might be people out there who are
facing issues more than I face a day but still be successful. Despite of all the
problems, I should manage to wake up again the next day, ready to face and
change the world with the power of positive thinking.
Happy people
used to annoy me or surprise me sometimes. I just wondered looking at them why
I am alone is not happy? But then I
realized I don’t have to be angry; just because I have problems doesn't mean I
have to focus completely on them. Instead, I can resolve them within and work
toward a positive outcome. That’s when I discovered the power of positive
thinking, and I happen to read book about positive thinking which created
miraculous changes in people life.
“All we are
the result of all we have thought” – Buddha
This created
significant changes in my life; I realized I have the complete control of my
life, creating a positive thinking I can create a world of my own.
Just Do It!
The most
important trick to positive thinking is to simply think positive. I know this
sounds a bit apparent and inaccessible, but trust me it is easier than it
sounds. Our thoughts are completely under our control. We are the one who
really hears them, unless we choose to say them or act upon them.
For example, you
wake up in the morning and find out that it’s the last day to finish your
project I office. Here you can choose to either freak out completely and stress
how little time left for you to complete the task, lowering your mood and
allowing your day to be controlled by thinking that no time left or you can choose
to focus on how to make the best of the position you are in. It’s our choice.
You’re Not Alone:
Life sucks
sometimes. It goes through a dumpy road. Bad things happen to all of us — no
matter how rich, famous, or successful we are, everyone goes through the same road.
So why do some of us smile while others don’t? It’s not a natural disposition;
some people just repeat hymns in their head whenever a bad thought enters their
head.
I get angry
sometimes; so angry that I might end up in breaking my coffee cup; other times
I get sad, or even depressed and think of crying out loudly. I've had thoughts
of what things would be like if I were dead. Recently I anguished over where
the hell my life is going, and why it feels like I can’t do anything right.
I've made mistakes and bad decisions that have cost me nearly everything on
more than one occasion. This put my life on stake. I stuck up in the middle of
a fast moving cowed as if lost. But I endure getting back up, putting a smile
on my face, with an assurance to face the world around me and going back out
there to try again. You can do this too, but you need to start thinking
positively. Here’s how I do it.
Parrot Me…
When I wake
up in the morning, one of the first things I do is to be grateful for every
moment I have lived and every moment I am yet to. Gratitude is one of the best ways
to bring more into our life. Every day I do not get out of my bed unless I have
felt the feelings of gratitude for the brand new day and all I am grateful for
in my life. Then I start my everyday routine. This sets the tone for the rest
of the day.
It is not
necessary that the day goes by with the same happiness. Sometimes I need a
refresher for a variety of reasons. There will be lot of things around us which
might be annoying. During these times, I close my eyes for ten seconds and
breathe, repeating, “This, too, shall pass,” in my head over and over until I
calm down. This is great exercise to control my thoughts. Whenever I have
downtime, I take a moment to think about all of the wonderful people, places,
and things in my life. I remind myself that I’m alive, I’m okay, and I’m fully
capable of overcoming any obstacles. I have every moment of life from now to
live with happiness.
Preservation:
It was
difficult at first, but sooner or later it took less and less time to get back
into the game. The negative times have become less and less frequent, or it
took lesser time to come out of a bad mood even though it occurred. I still face
lot of problems but they don’t devastate me anymore. When something doesn't go
my way, I simply go a different route. Things might not have become easier but I
find it easy to move on, I started accomplishing much more. I am feeling
happier every day.
The more you
think positive, the easier it gets to think positive. Whatever happens in our
life is the result of our thoughts. More you think positive the more positive
our life becomes. Like everything else in life, it takes practice. Slowly we
will be able to take our life in a positive way. There will be up and downs in
life, when you are feeling down stop for a minute and think about everything
you are grateful for. Instead of thinking about your problems, think about your
accomplishments. The difference between a good day and a bad day is nothing
more than the perspective in which it’s viewed.
Think
positive, and you’ll make a positive impact on this world.
I think you are right, optimism can be very influential in everything we do. Its always better to see the good side of things whenever we face an obstacle. Here is some more info on the matter: See the bright side .
ReplyDeleteExactly. More we think positive the more positive our life becomes.
