Positive Thinking

The way we think is what makes us different from one another.

We are not aware of the way in which we think. Two people can experience identical traumas, yet one person can overcome theirs relatively quickly whereas another may develop the symptoms of depression.

Studies suggests that people with a negative way of thinking will be more prone to depression than most other people.

Stop, and have a deep look within yourself, the way you think.

"Positive Thinking," phrase was made famous by Norman Vincent Peale in his 1952 best-seller, The Power of Positive Thinking. It can be simply stated as another term for belief in oneself and faith in God.

Positive thinking and attitude

The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For others, learning is a drudgery. For many, learning is just okay, something required on the road to a job.

Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that form our self-image and our world-image. These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.

The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner conversations.

All what is needed from our side is to liberate and relish our natural positive nature.
