Article- the philosophy of positive thinking

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING
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.

Often it is said that have positive attitude in whatever you do and success will be at your feet. Many of us would have experienced the effects of positive thinking in our lives. If not, now is the time to feel it. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action.

Whatever the mind desires, it finds. Whenever you keep on repeating the same thing in your mind forcefully and have confidence that, “it will happen” than it will surely happen. You can yourself experience the magic. Take any dream of yours and keep on telling yourself that you want to accomplish it, and you can and you will accomplish it. You will definitely see the positive results.

Lets us see the whole concept from another angle. In the Indian context this basic philosophy of being positive is embodied in the religious way and it is preached to all of us since childhood. We express our desires in the form of a ‘prayer’ to the supreme power termed “GOD”, which no one has seen but has felt. Than we experience that these wishes are fulfilled by HIM. This is nothing but the power of positive thinking. Prayers and enchanting ‘mantras’ is nothing but a way of creating positive vibes around us which help us in attaining our goals. Just try and personify GOD. Is HE in a position to listen to thousands of voices of various people and fulfill their desires which would more often than not be contradicting each other? Fifty persons, outside a chamber, before an interview praying for the same job. All deserving candidates, all equally religious. Who would get the job? The probable answer would be the person whose prayers were more effective. Scientifically the one with a better positive attitude and having more self confidence.

The road to success would take the following steps, following the religious way
Step 1 :- PRAY TO GOD
Step 2 :- GOD IS WITHIN YOU
Step 3 :- HAVE FAITH IN GOD
Step 4 :- WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME AND YOUR PRAYERS WOULD BE ANSWERED
Step 5 :- TILL THAT TIME PUT YOUR SINCERE EFFORTS AND KEEP PRAYING
Step 6 :- YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL

The same thing put more rationally
Step 1 :- THINK POSITIVE
Step 2 :- CONVERT YOUR THOUGHTS INTO ACTION
Step 3 :- SUCCESS IS YOURS

The concept of “shraddha-saburi” resembles this concept. It is nothing but the power of positive attitude. When you wish to accomplish your goal, do it with full efforts and an optimistic mind set. No matter how many problems you face, keep faith in yourself and persevere your goals and success will be yours.

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. So friends

BE POSITIVE……
