Positive thought
Man is always attracted towards everything that is metaphysical
and psychological; leading psychologists have always believed in
the matter of mind, which is capable of performing stupendous
things for self growth and development. On the flip side, they
are also worried by a mind that is out of control, with many
manifestations of disease and illness as the final result. It is
always believed that human beings could achieve anything and
everything under the Sun, provided they possess a mind that is
tough and intelligent. As a corollary, they also believed that
people who have achieved a high degree of personal success,
always showed an elevated level of positive thoughts and
beliefs. Positive thoughts are known to assist a person in
achieving those goals and targets, which can not be achieved by
a person with a negative mindset.
Understanding positive thought requires considerable amount of
intelligence and wisdom. Positive thoughts are so surreal and
mysterious; man has always been baffled by the fact that some
people are more endowed with a high level of self belief and
positive thoughts, while many people lack this natural gift, due
to unknown reasons. Positive thoughts seem to originate from the
mind, and its flow is always controlled by the person. Though
most of us have positive thoughts deep in our mind, we may never
experience it in its full potential or may experience only
during some time in our life. Is it possible to control the flow
of positive thoughts at a uniform rate?
It is possible to develop positive thoughts and feelings by
adjusting the way in which we think and behave. There are
several innovative methods prescribed by many leading experts
and often these methods do help us in developing a positive
"us". However the basic methodology is almost similar in all
techniques. If you want to develop a positive personality, you
will also need to consider driving away all negative thoughts;
it is probably like two opposite faces of a coin. Positive and
negative minds are dual in nature. When one of them shows its
dominance, other will be in its dormancy. This perceptible shift
in alternating domination and dormancy state of mind is the
ultimate factor that makes us either positive in nature or
negative in behavior.
Is it possible to retain positive thoughts as our dominating
entity in our mind? Conversely, can we suppress the negative
part of our personality by using some methods? Theoretically
both are distinct possibilities, provided we have some genuine
methods to follow. Though it is almost impossible to drive away
our negative aspect of personality, it is also possible to mask
such negative part of the personality with fresh, continuous
positive thoughts. It is just like filling in fresh, crystal
clear water slowly, inch by inch, to replace a mass of water
that is dirty and stained. Another analogy is to fill in a glass
of water with crystal clear water and add black ink, so that the
whole glass of water becomes dark and negative. Now when you add
fresh water slowly, drop by drop, and replace the whole glass
full of dark water, the resulting water mass is all crystal
clear and pure. Our mind actually works in a similar manner.
