The Power of Your Positive Mind

Positive thinking is like some hyped-up thingy. Something like we have always told ourselves, "What nonsense! Let's be realistic." "How can you think positively if the situation is obviously very bad?!"

This is what i hear from the people around me. Well i must say, positive thinking is a matter of paradigm. You can't force yourself into it. (Actually, you can lar.)

More often than not, we fail to see things in a different perspective. I learnt from a dear friend of mine quite recently about positive thinking. His humble actions taught me a lot.

We have heard of the well-known Fadzuli, and he is coaching 200 students in his internet venture. The last time i kept myself updated he had only 7 students. What went through my mind was, "WHAT?!" Only SEVEN?! You are not even close to 200!

However, his words humbled me when he continued to say that he was grateful to God for this. I was speechless. Suddenly, as if a bolt of light -light of enlightenment- penetrate through my heart.

Accompanied with his gratitude, he showed much enthusiasm to search for more students.

Now, do you see the paradigm shift. I don't know if you can see it. I do. It's like seeing things with a different set of lenses.

Positive thinking changes how you perceive things in life. And this is one of the greatest asset you can have.

I have friend whom i dear deeply. "How can we be positive about unity when we see so much diversity in people?! Is this self-disillusioning?" We were talking about religious affair within our community and i beg to differ in opinion.

The way i see it, the diversity in culture and practices can only bring us together. I see it as an opportunity to unite people. I see the need to understand differences in practices. I see the appreciation of differences in the time to come. I was wowed! The fact that we can actually unite people in this huge manner. To embrace diversity in unity. So diversity is not bad after all.

I still do believe that some people don't and will not understand this paradigm shift. Nevertheless, hopefully they do one day.

Below is an excerpt extracted from success.com. May it be enriching to everyone who reads it.

Start thinking you can do things.

When people believe in themselves they learn the first secret of success.

Practice hope.

As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.

Get fired up with enthusiasm.

Those fired up with an enthusiastic idea, and who allow it to take hold and dominate their thoughts, find that new worlds open for them.

Stretch beyond your current limits.

We can do just about anything that we really want and make up our minds to do. We are all capable of greater things than we realize.

Practice happy thinking.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.

Like attracts like.

If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.

Maintain enthusiasm through tough times.

Cushion the painful effects of hard blows by keeping the enthusiasm going strong.

Believe things will turn out well.

Believe it is possible to solve your problem. Tremendous things happen to the believer. So believe the answer will come. It will.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
