The Power of Positive Thinking

[Omeros]

_ Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive 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.

Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. 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( the secret ), lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity.

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?

--- > well i am one of them ... i was so pessimist i use to see the world like "2afir na7el" everyone is here to eat me ... everyone is the bad the ugly the beast one day i met someone who changed my whole life , in the beginning didnt feel the changes day after day i was like : is that me ... it was something spontaneous ... after a certain numb of day i realized that the positive ( real one not the person who repeat the sentence 3al fade) have a real and a good effect on us ... they are a bulbe of energy , u cant stop thinking like this when they are around u but once a - person with depressive character is their ya 3atra 3alyna u feel ka2an blata 3ala l ras ....

- Positive and negative thinking are both contagious. 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. Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive persons and shun negative ones? People are more disposed to help us if we are positive. 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.

Practical Instructions( ya3ne what is real not theories hek 3al meche )

In order to turn the mind toward the positive, inner work and training are required. Attitude and thoughts do not change overnight.

Read about this subject, think about its benefits and persuade yourself to try it. The power of thoughts is a mighty power that is always shaping our life. This shaping is usually done subconsciously, but it is possible to make the process a conscious one. Even if the idea seems strange give it a try, as you have nothing to lose, but only to gain. Ignore what others might say or think about you, if they discover that you are changing the way you think.

Always visualize only favorable and beneficial situations. Use positive words in your inner dialogues or when talking with others. Smile a little more, as this helps to think positively. Disregard any feelings of laziness or a desire to quit. If you persevere, you will transform the way your mind thinks.

Once a negative thought enters your mind, you have to be aware of it and endeavor to replace it with a constructive one. The negative thought will try again to enter your mind, and then you have to replace it again with a positive one. It is as if there are two pictures in front of you, and you choose to look at one of them and disregard the other. Persistence will eventually teach your mind to think positively and ignore negative thoughts.

In case you feel any inner resistance when replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, do not give up, but keep looking only at the beneficial, good and happy thoughts in your mind.

It does not matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Think positively, expect only favorable results and situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. It may take some time for the changes to take place, but eventually they do.

Another method to employ is the repetition of affirmations. It is a method which resembles creative visualization, and which can be used in conjunction with it.

The other subjects like:
the power of concentration
will power
self-discipline and peace of mind (http://lfpm.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32538)
also contribute to the development of a positive mind, and are recommended for reading and practicing.

I think positive thinking can change alot your own vision of this world and creat a better life. But my question is how can you change someone's vision of the world and make them think more positive about their own lives, someone very close to you like a mother or a husband? Do you have any experience to share to provide someone to think that their life is not that bad after all?

You are right but it dont apply to some depressed people who are in their latest 50ies. I mean when you have passed more than 50 years in a hard life since you are a kid and you have nothing to dream about anymore. What should you believe in ?

Sometimes, it is really hard to think positive when you had a really negative past.

sometimes we shouldnt just accept the negativity in our life even if we had it all along we shouldnt just sit there and wait for the rest of our lives just for the bad ,one day its gonna change, we all had a chance in this life plus 50 is not that old :) what we need first of all to have the power to change and fight for it if we dont have that its difficult for sure
u can help them by showing them that life is great and its god gift to us we should appreciate it as it is and we should work on it harder to achieve better and better result and good moments
u can show them to think about the past and learn from it dont let it affect their present we can live till 100 maybe or one more day only so lets make the best out of it
being alive in itself is the greatest gift we have and we dont appreciated until we realy know we can have it for granted for always
be happy with what u have and live ur life to the maximum

the power of positive thinking cant be born with us we should work on it to have it in our lives. The difference between can and cannot are only three letters. Three letters that determine your life's direction.

Being positive or negative are habits of thoughts that have a very strong influence on life.


Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose?


Positive thinking is expecting, talking and visualizing with certainty what you want to achieve, as an accomplished fact
Do all u can to help them see it from this side
PEACE TO ALL ...............

It Will Come
by Nathan Watson
When life's largest pressures leave you struck dumb,
Just search for an answer; the solution will come.

When a tragedy occurs leaving you feeling numb,
Just wait for your health; the strength will come.

When everyone relies on you and there is no way you can see,
Trust your mind to think with time; patience is the key.

When you have made it where others always flee,
Just wait to gather courage; soon you'll be where you want to be.

When it is nearing the end and you're in need,
Muster up your courage; endurance will lead.
IT WILL COME

[أبو الحروف]

Nice poem Kumari

==============

Things will be better ... hmmm lemme try to rhyme & pack letters & give it a shot

==============

Things ,,, rotate ,,, circulate ,,, around & about ,,,
So sad & sickining ,,, venom in a peach ,,,

To grief ,,, is ,,, to eat ,,, death,,, in a spoon
Slow & bitter ,,, like poison ,,, milked a mother bosom

betrayed by life ,,, confused ,,, shaken shaked
things may stings ,,, may bite ,,, may strike a swords blow

but things will be better ,,, once you learn how to teach
how to preach out ,,, preach in ,,, breathe misery a vagrant crow:

a peach in the hand ,,, not a peach out of reach

As envy is hate ,,, is a snake toxicate
