The Power of Positive Thinking

This was sent to me from one of my very best friends, Jordyn Pebbles. Please pay close attention to the words she uses in the description of the power of positive thinking. She had to present in front of he college class this exact paper she wrote. The professor was the only person that agreed with it, and said to the effect it was the best concepts that he had ever heard. It goes to show me that the majority of our society is living in a negative mindset. The b side to the truth is what you plug in your mind and how you react to situations determines your mindset and your life.

Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into our minds thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. Positive thinking brings inner peace, success, improved relationships, better health, happiness and satisfaction. It also helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising.

It is quite common for people to say "think positive!” to someone who feels down and worried. Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what they really mean, or do not consider them as useful and effective. How many people do you know, who stop to think what the power of positive thinking means?

Positive and negative thinking are both contagious. All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet. This happens through thought and feeling transference, and through body language. Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive people and avoid negative ones?

Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up negative unhappy moods and actions. When the mind is negative, it seems almost impossible to think of anything else, which causes more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.

In order to make positive thinking yield results, you need to develop a positive attitude toward life, expect a successful outcome of whatever you do, but also take the correct actions to make sure that your outcome is a success.

Effective positive thinking that brings results is much more than just repeating a few positive words, or telling yourself that everything is going to be all right. It has to be your mental attitude. It is not enough to think positively for a few moments, and then letting fears and lack of belief enter your mind. Some effort and inner work are necessary. Are you willing to make a real inner change? Are you willing to change the way you think? Are you willing to develop a mental power that can positively affect you, your environment and the people around you?

Once you commit to not only wanting to be positive, but actually being positive, things in your

life will start changing and becoming better. Once you start trying and not just hoping you will no

longer be looking to others around you for happiness, but creating your own.
