“Negative thinking g is a mental hunger, feed it
with the only food; Positive thinking”. – Balogun
M. Adewale
Be the first
to see the positive side of things and the last to see the negative. In time of
decision making, I advice you think ten positive before you think a negative,
even if the result is negative, your ten positive over one negative thought
will not hide the truth but help you to arrive at the right and better answer.
In management, there is a business decision making concept called “devil
advocate”, you come up with a foreseen problem (negative) while you go ahead to
provide as many solutions (positive) as possible for a single problem. Try it,
it work wonders.
“A strong, positive self-image is
the best possible preparation for success”- Joyce Brothers. While
it is claimed that there is power in a spoken word, I believe there is even
more power in thought. The outcome of your prayer is a confirmation of your
thought. If you pray for positive outcome which is always the case, but think
it is unrealistic, chances are the outcome will be negative. Joyce Meyer believe “You cannot have a positive life and a
negative mind.”
Don’t think you can amount to
anything going about with negative thinking; it’s just a waste of time and
energy: physically, spiritually and psychologically. To be successful, you must
first believe in yourself and your idea. Just as you will lack physical energy
if your stomach is empty, so also your brain will lack energy to be its best if
you think negative all the time. Jenn
Proske advised you “Love
yourself. It is important to stay positive because beauty comes from the inside
out.” Even if things are not going right, life
is more frustrating thinking negative, and seems perfect if you think positive.
If you doubt it, go ahead, be practical.
