'Jimmy, why are you looking so down, it's not the end of world, yet,' asked his Grandpa. Jimmy replied,"I know, Grandpa, but the trouble is that I have lost all my directions. I could not get a proper job for almost a year now.' 'C'mon, young man, look at things POSITIVELY. Set yourself a goal and work towards it. Never just give up so easily,'said Grandpa.
Very often, failure is only the red signal pointing to the culprit, 'negative thinking.' 'It is a psychological fact that we tend to travel in the direction we are looking. Whether you are a success or failure in life depends to a large extent upon which way the eyes of your mind are focussed. If you keep them continually focussed upon failure and obstacles and negatives, you have the tendency to travel in that direction.' One cannot think of fear and act courageously or be bent on failure and achieve success. A lot of trouble and suffering for ourselves and others could be avoided if our thoughts were a bit more on the positive side. Petty grievances, pessimism, hatred and such other feelings are good only as far as one's destruction is concerned.
If you want victory over fear, anxiety, worry and depression, develop control of your thoughts so as to gain that poise which conquers these tendencies.
The need to think positively is to fill your minds with everything that is true, everything that is noble, everything that is good and pure, everything we love and honour, and everything that can be thought virtuous or worthy of praise.'
Look for the positive in every person, work and situation.
