Positive Mind is Powerful

By Clement Fernando

Positive mind is the power in every individual.

All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not. We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive.

"A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes." Gandhi

No one can blame others for what he/she is. You are in control of your success or failure. You control your situations if you control your emotions. When you lose control of you emotions , you lost control of your situations. We should not be led by our emotions. There is difference between your head and heart. Head helps you to think of reality and heart produces emotions. If you obey your heart always, you will make many wrong decisions because you yield to emotions which will vanish soon.

You have to become the master of your feelings. It is not an easy process. It requires practice and self control.

Winston Churchill said, "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty".

People, who complain about everything around themselves, never become winners. Complainers are sorrowful people. They have the notorious ability to make everyone feel miserable.

Don't look around and compare yourself with others.

"Instead of thinking about what you're missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing."

Failing to acknowledge the good things God has given you makes you a loser. If you list out all blessings you have and thank God, you shall live a happier and more productive life.

Confess positive words. Make it a habit. 'I can, I shall, I will' is the mantra for you success.

When negative thoughts storm your mind, sit alone and fight against them. Negative thoughts are so powerful that they creep into our minds easily. You don't need an effort to create negative thoughts. Replace each negative thought by positive thought.

Stop confessing negatively;

I am timid
There is no more hope
I don't think I am a better person
This is a bad country
My family sucks!
People are ungrateful these days

Spread happiness wherever you go. Become a messenger of happy news. Speak encouraging words with others. Always tell disappointed people that there is a better way for them.

Always start your work with clear vision and expected outcome. Have a definite plan. Imagine the result you want to reach.

Read books that can build your personality and self confidence. Spend time in reading religious books that lead you to good thinking and moral enhancement.

Having fellowship with positive minded people will surely change your life. Select friends carefully. If someone's presence affects your personal and family life negatively, don't hesitate to sever the relationship.

Spend quality time with your spouse and children. If you are happy with your family, everything else will fall in place.

Quit drinking and smoking. Say no to pornography. People, who are addicted to pornography, are not happy people. Accept your failures and ponder over the mistakes you have made. Humble yourself.

Forgive yourself. Look for a new beginning. Start again. Your falls aren't your end. Whenever you fall, get up and try again.

A haughty heart can learn nothing.

Being positive makes you a real winner and the happiest person in the world.
