You Are What You Think You Are

By Marinda Kleijweg


We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are".This statement of Swami Vivekanand stresses on the importance of Positive Thinking. If you want to see success and prosperity in your life then it is very important to understand that it all begins in our mind. Thoughts are the cause of everything good or bad happening in our lives. Always remember that our thoughts have creative Power. So beware of what you are thinking most of the time. Because sooner or later it will become reality.
[Power Of Positive Thinking]


One of the most powerful weapons one can have is the "positive thinking". Positive thinking brings inner peace, satisfaction, success, improved relationships, happiness, and better health. It also helps to move smoothly in day-today affairs, and makes life bright and promising. Positive and negative thinking are contagious. People with positive thinking are more likely to be helped rather than people who are negative.

Negative thoughts and attitude bring up negative and unhappy moods and actions.Optimism consists of three major components: first, the belief in your own power to make a successful life; second, the belief that negative events in life are temporary; and third the belief that positive events in life are permanent.

Action is the result of the thought process and if the thoughts are negative, the outcome will definitely be negative. Research has shown that anxiety, anger, and stress do a lot of damage to the body, shortens the life span, disturbs internal system, immune system, and other vital organs. On the other hand, people who are optimistic are more likely to stay healthier and recover faster from any illnesses they undergo. We have heard so many stories about cancer patients who survived and have conquered this deadly disease, simply because they managed to keep up their hope and spirits.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk are the thoughts that run in our minds every day. These thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of the self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that we create because of lack of information.

Instead focus on the positive, giving attention and thoughts to a happy space that you can create for yourself. Look at all the caring people around you, show appreciation to your friendships, your family and your loved ones and keep in mind that a negative person may be draining to those people.

Almost everybody agrees that thinking positively is one of the keys to being successful, this is why it is so frequently offered as advice to people. The problem is that it is not nearly as easy to think positively as a lot of people imagine, if it were everybody would be happy and successful. Learning how to have positive thoughts is a skill that has to be learned, the following tips should help you to get started.

Shift your mental focus into positivity. Be happy for the person who is experiencing what you want to experience. This mental action proclaims "yes" to the universe, "I do want this!" and it will come to you. Thinking of why you "can't" have something or feeling jealous of others only says NO to the universe. You are asking for what you are focusing on and feeling about. So if you feel unattractive and over-weight when you see someone who is fit, the command you are giving to the law of attraction is, "I do not want to be fit, I would rather feel unattractive and over-weight"! The power of positive thinking is in this life-changing understanding. If you simply think only of what you want, in ways that produce positive feelings, you will have all that you wish for.

Another way to have positive thoughts is to learn about other successful people. This can be done in any number of ways but the most common are to read biographies of them or to watch television shows about them. When you see that other people have had success it will make it a lot easier for you to believe that you can do the same thing. Their success does not even have to be in the same field you are pursuing, it is enough to see other people who have succeeded.

Getting in the habit of using positive words every time you talk will go a long way to helping you think positive. It is common for people to say things like "I think I can do that" when really they should be saying "I can do that". This subtle change will have a huge impact on your thinking and you will soon believe that you actually can do it.One last thing that you can do to help you think positive is to work on improving your posture. This may not seem like a bit issue but it is. If you stand up straight you will feel more confident and if you feel more confident you will believe that you can do anything. This is another one of those things that you will want to get into the habit of doing all the time. This will result in your being more confident all of the time and having positive thoughts all of the time.
