Dear Friends,
Today I got into a conversation with a colleague of mine who. believes that negative thoughts are inevitable and however one tries to be positive, at times it is situations that stands far too stronger and it is beyond control.
Time and again we hear stories about ordinary people who do seemingly impossible things when they find themselves in an emergency situation. They perform herculean feats of strength and endurance, things they never dreamed, they were capable of doing.
Way back during my school days, I heard of a story where a mother (who used to work in the field) lifted a tree which fell on her infant child and she didn't even realise what she did - ofcourse, it was her love for the child but at the same time a positive mental attitude.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could harness that strength and make it available anytime you need it?
Hmmmmm.... Now that's something to ponder upon!
You can - only if you believe you can. No doubt you can remember a time in your life when you were exceptionally focused on your objective, a time when you achieved more in less time than ever before. Perhaps it was an impending vacation that motivated you to get everything done before you departed, or perhaps it was a "must pass" exam that helped you focus your concentration.
That reminds me of a personal incident - In 9th standard, I was struggling to pass out in Maths i.e. both Geometry and Algebra and I hated it. My professor, Varghese told me that I will not get through as I needed 132 to pass out in my finals (out of 150) - How the hell I would achieve that? I was a shy kid then but told my proffessor that I will pass through and I am confident - I still remember the day when he called me on the day of result personally and asked me what magic I did, as he could not believe the numbers - it was 147/ 150 - I smiled and said that 'maybe I was more attentive in class and got more focused'. Indeed, its focus, concentration and self belief that took me through this.
The intensity that you developed in those situations is always available to you when you have a Positive Mental Attitude.
Little did I know of such a thing at that point of time but today when I look back at the various pages of my life (as well), I feel PROUD.
A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE IS AN IRRESISTIBLE FORCE THAT KNOWS NO SUCH THING AS AN IMMOVABLE BODY.
Does it make sense?
Cheers,
B

what do you get when you think negative?
Dear Friends,
Have you guys ever imagined what do you get when you think negative?
A NEGATIVE MIND spawns only negative ideas..
It is a physical impossibility for a negative mind to generate any positive thoughts. When you allow yourself to dwell on the negative aspects of life, negative thinking expands to fill all of your thoughts until there is no room for positive thoughts to grow. It becomes an endless cycle. Please bear in mind that a human mind has only 'X' memory and as I have always mentioned, don't fill this with garbage else there will be no space to store beautiful data/ thoughts.
The habit of negative thinking generates more and more negative thoughts, which the mind attempts to turn into physical reality. The result is a life of despair and hopelessness. Develop the habit of eliminating negative thoughts the moment they appear. Start small at first. When you first hear that inner voice that says, "I can?t do this," put the thought out of your mind immediately. Instead, concentrate on the task itself. Break it down into manageable parts and complete them one at a time. When the job is finished, tell your doubting self: "You were wrong. I could do it, and I did!"
Mark it, you will only be an achiever and never a failure.
Cheers,

Thought of the day
Dear Friends,
IF YOU HAVE MORE ENEMIES THAN FRIENDS, IT'S TIME TO EXAMINE YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE.
When your enemies outnumber your friends, the answer to the problem most likely resides within you.
Ask yourself the following questions,
* Am I the kind of person I would like to have as a friend?
* Do I consider the feelings of others, or do I think only of myself?
* Do I try to find the good in others, or am I always finding fault?
* When something goes wrong, do I search for a solution to the problem, or do I look for someone to blame?
In the answers to such questions, you may find the answer to the question: Why do I have more enemies than friends?
Cheers,
B
