Read
the following three articles on Positive
Thinking.
The
essence of optimism: Today's
sorrow hides in its bosom the joys of tomorrow. Adversity is the
soil in which you sow the seeds of success. The rains that came
today and ruined your paths would soon make the earth green and
abundant.
The
optimist and his world view: We can
make ourselves happy or unhappy out of the same situation. We have
this capacity, to create events and situations out of our own
thinking and imagination. We all possess this
capacity.
Optimism
that leads to freedom: You
cannot become a positive thinker, unless you have abundant
love in your heart. You cannot be positive towards people and
events, unless love flows from you unconditionally and engulfs
everything that comes in your way.

Today's sorrow hides in its bosom
the joys of tomorrow. Adversity is the soil in which you sow the
seeds of success. The rains that came today and ruined your paths
would soon make the earth green and
abundant.
In the womb of loss is the seed of
gain. The storms and tempests that devastate life on earth, also
enable us to start life afresh. The night that invokes in us fearful
thoughts, also reveals to us the beauty and majesty of star filled
heavens.
Life is what we make of
it.
Life is as we think about
it.
Life is what we want it to
be.
Life is a mixture of colors that
we choose and put on an otherwise empty canvas. We see what we
want to see, accept those we believe in and ignore those that do not
interest us.
This is the wisdom of the ages,
ancient as well as modern.
So think positively. Even amidst
difficulties keep courage. With faith in your heart, you can
surmount all the problems. Know with certainty that after darkness
there can only be light.
Your suffering is but a part of
your evolution. If you look at the world with thoughts of love, full
of compassion, you have little chance to live in despair. If you
look at yourselves with understanding and unconditional love you
have no reason to be unhappy.
How often we spend our lives
feeling unhappy and inadequate about ourselves! How often we crush
ourselves with thoughts of self-criticism! How often we injure
others with our vehemence and frustration! How many relations we
lose because we are too judgmental and critical about
others!
Remember, a positive mind accepts
every thing and accommodates every thought, however inimical the
thought may be. In the home of a positive mind all are welcome.
Every thing lives there with a dignity of its
own.
A positive mind is a liberated
mind. Liberate yourselves from all forms of pettiness and
selfishness, if you want to be a true
optimist.
Remember happiness is an invention
of the mind. So invent your happiness through positive thinking,
with your feet firmly on the ground, without losing yourselves in
day dreaming, but ready to do the battles of
life. |
