The Power of Positive Thinking


By: Dave A
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are helpful 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. This is a subject that is gaining popularity. 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. 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?
When the attitude is positive we entertain pleasant feelings and productive images, and see in our mind's eye what we really want to happen. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy and happiness. The whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and success. Even the health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk tall and the voice is more powerful. Our body language shows the way you feel inside. 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. The power of positive thinking is boundless.
Norman Vincent Peale in his book "The Power Of Positive Thinking" suggests techniques and give examples to demonstrate that you do not need to feel defeated by anything, that you can have peace of mind, improved health, and a never ceasing-flow of energy. He further stated that people should not ignore or minimize the hardships and tragedies of the world, but neither do we allow them to dominate. I truly admire his context about what positive thoughts can make to ones life. Positive thinking is only a part of changing a person's beliefs. It's an important part, so often we're our own worst enemy when it comes to what we tell ourselves. We believe things we say in our minds that we would never tolerate someone saying to our face. Positive thinking does work, as long as it is backed up by changing our actions to support that thinking. Our subconscious mind will recognise a lie, however we can change that to become a truth by supporting the new positive thinking with repetition and actions.
Think of the future rewards your positive thinking can lead to. Start your day with positive thinking by counting your blessings. And you will find yourself utilizing the power of positive thinking.
