Is Thinking Positive Thoughts Enough to Change our Lives?

January 13, 2008 on 2:09 am | In Our Thinking |

The reason I picked this subject for my blog today is John Smith’s comment on Today’s World Blog. Thank you for your comment, John.
“Nice, but I think it is sometimes not enough to get it complete.” John Smith.
John, you are so right. Being positive is a huge step in the right direction, but it is not enough. There is something I would like to make everyone aware of. Being positive does not necessarily mean that we are really positive. We might be saying great things, we might make people believe that we think positive things, yet in the depth of our heart where no one is aware what is going on, only us, we still have negative thoughts. I was always considered to be a very positive person not only by me, but by many other people, until I started to research the power of our mind and with a kind of shock I discovered how terribly negative I was. I was talking positive, I was always smiling, always happy, but inside I was filled with negativity. I would say that the proverbial glass was always full, but inside I was worrying what will happen if the water in that glass dries out or get spilled? How many times we make plans yet we worry that they might not come through or come not as we planned? I can not even count how many times I have done that before. Was I positive or negative then? I had positive ideas, yet I was worried that negative things could happen to me. Well, definitely I was negative. If I was positive I would not worry. I would know in my heart that everything was going to be OK.
To be continued…..

“We bemoan the loss of our forests, we worry over our dwindling resources of coal and oil. We decry the waste in our factories. But the greatest waste of all, we pay no attention to – the waste of our own potential mind power.”
Robert Collier – Author “The Secret of Ages” 1948

P.S.
No matter how much you praise yourself. How many times you say “I am GREAT!” No matter how many wonderful words you use to express how wonderful you are, it will never be enough!
There are no words and praises that can be sufficient to describe the MAGNIFICENT YOU.
This is how PERFECT and SPECIAL and WONDEFUL, and POWERFUL…and… you are.
