THE MAGIC OF THINKING

THE MAGIC OF THINKING
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE DRAINS OUT ENERGY WHILE POSITIVE THINKING EMPOWERS,

"There is nothing wrong or right except your thinking, which makes it so.." - Shakespeare
Power of thinking has been one of the most talked about topics ever. In the modern era, the focus has been more on the positive thinking. A lot has been written about ir. Bookstores are flooded with books on related topics, while news papers are hiring experts to write columns, as it has been one of the most read topics as well. Meanwhile , a number of oraganisations have also started taking Employee Assistance Services (EAP) to keep their employees postive and cheerful.
But only a few practice what is advised by the experts. mainly because, it is beyond their imagination.
How much positive thinking can transform the life of a person is evident from an incident, which hogged media limelight in the mid 9os.
"A young patient was admitted to a hospital in the U.S, Where doctors daignosed that he was suffering from a tumour. The disease was declared incurable and the patient was expected to surive not more than six months.
But the family members were told not to disclose this to the patient. Thus, while leaving the hospital, he was told to enjoy life as if there was nothing to worry about.
Although family members were counting days, he was leading a cheerful life. when a year passed without any trouble, his relatives registered a case against the doctor saying he misguided them. A team of medical experts carried out various examinations and were amazed to see that the tumour had disappeared.
People thought it was a miracle. In fact, it was a miracle (Subhanaallah) + it was the power of positive thinking that transformed illness into cure"

Thinking - a way of life

It is simply a process through which people look at various aspects of day-to-day life. It is described as the way people look at life. Someone's success is measured by his attitude, which is a result of his belief system, Upbringing, Socialisation and experience.
According to me "Attitude" is not static, it changes from time to time and it should change with time.
Positive thinking produces hormones which makes a person agile, energetic, cheerful and resilient, While negative think produces hormones that makes a person gloomy, lethargic and pessemestic.
Postive attitude gives power and energy to move ahead, it is the force that drives towards a particular goal.
It inculcates the habit of winning, it gives faith to face adversity and makes a tough and tiring journey smooth. People with psotive attitude are always found cheerful. They are experimental by nature and very receptive too. They believe in the philosophy of moving ahead and begin their day with great excitement, with the hope to do something good. Never blame a person or situation for their failure, rather take the responsibility and try to correct it. They never indulge in negative gossip.
Thus people with positive attitude are bound to shine sooner or later.
History has seen many personalities who carved a niche for themseleves, even after going through tough times of their life. For instance, former captain of the Indain cricket team Saurav Ganguly and the Australian cricket team. They have set an example for others to follow.
While Ganguly bounced back after Indian media and team management declared him a failure. Aussies, on the other hand, have remained invincible in prestigious tournaments like the ICC Cricket World Cup.
People need to understand that negative attitude drains out energy and makes small things tough and insurmountable. It reduces the energy level and diminishes the fighting spirit. It brings failure in life much before it actually comes. People with negative attitude always focus on their failure. And their subconcious mind are flooded with negative statements that control the mind, which is bound to yeild negative results.
Thus positive attitude should be inculcated in the self as it is a matter of choice, not chance. It makes life cheerful and it brings positive energy and provides immense fighting spirit. Circumstances can't be changed at times, But it can be improved with the help of thinking positively.

Positive attitude is simply magic and more powerful than any wonder drugs.
