Positive Thoughts

The mind is a very important thing. What it thinketh, it will do. Thoughts equal actions. But what is the driving force behind out thoughts? It’s emotions. Thoughts are equivalent to a car. You need a physical car to drive. However, emotions are the driver. The driver decides the course in which the car goes. In other words, emotions drive our thoughts in a certain direction. There exist two forms of emotions, negative and positive. Needless to say, positive emotions drive us positively and negative emotions drive us negatively. Therefore, it is very important for us to maintain our emotions positively by always saying positive things, by doing positive things and having positive emotions like love and faith in oneself.
Positive emotions drive you to great heights. However, unfortunately, negative emotions drive you deep into the gutter. So deep, that it is very difficult to come out of it and so deep that it blinds you from reality. You cannot tell what is real and what is not because you are only clouded by negative emotions and therefore, you only see negative things. For eg, in a relationship, “He doesn’t love me anymore.”
It is natural for us to be driven by our negative emotions rather than our positive emotions because take a look around us….negativity is emphasized rather than positivity. For eg, in the news, which we read everyday (and this is a very strong influence on our mind and emotions). The news only report negative news and rarely good news. It is already driven into our mind all these negativity. When we were growing up, parents always tell their kids, “Don’t do this. Don’t do that.” “You cannot stay up late. You cannot go out with your friends.” “Don’t” and “cannot” are all negative words. It has been instill in us as we were growing up and all around us. In order to break out of this negativity, we have to retrain our emotions and mind to think positively, to feel positively. Yup…you wouldn’t believe it but you have to train your mind to be positive. Some ppl who grew up in a positive environment needs less training while others who are brought up in the negative environment need to work at it even more.But the most important thing, first of all, is to realize it and be aware of it. The biggest stepping stone is to realize and to accept it and then only can you work towards changing your mind from negative to positive.
