Thinking Positive

To think positive is very difficult especially when you are in times of trials. A man lives to survive and thus his every action is geared towards survival. Think about this, does a man live to survive or he survives to live? It’s not so easy to answer. So a man in the midst of trials will try to evade this problem or he will go against it and may be victorious. This may not always be so, it may result in defeat but this doesn’t mean he has failed but the next time when he’ll face such a problem he will be aware not to do the mistakes that he has done earlier and he will be up with new plans to conquer the problem. The new plans will only be a success if he thinks it with a positive mindset and he will be able to move towards it with determination. Even to do all this, one should have to persevere in his trials and come out victorious. Thinking positive is difficult but if we make a conscious effort and work our problems systematically and not instinctually, we may be successful. So it’s all up to you. How you want to live your life is up to you. It’s difficult but we got to try.

I write this down from my own experience but I, myself have not yet been able to follow this. It may not always be ‘Practice what you preach’ because I don’t want you to be on a level where I am. I want you to rise and go beyond me. So it’s better that we both practice. Any good or bad thing in life should be taken as God’s plan for us. Again, it’s not so easy. You may say something really bad has taken place in your life where it’s not your mistake, rape for example. You may say God wanted this to happen. I could only answer you by this: It may not be easy to explain it to you; it may be something which is coming up from that event which at that time you may not understand you may go on asking God and finally get an answer. Recently, I too faced a problem and found myself questioning God, “Why is this.....?”

God’s ways are mysterious. He can make good even from a bad thing. So you only got to trust him with a positive mindset. Once you start thinking positively you will see that even your surrounding will slowly change and you’ll be happy. Being positive means not being too cool about things saying that all will become good by itself and saying that I’ve a positive attitude and thus all things will turn out good even without my efforts. No, that may not be possible. Positive thinking plus your own efforts will make you into a success.
