Thinking positive can work
miracles. You may have been told to “guard your thoughts”, but felt the advice
to be pointless. After all, your thoughts are private. How can they possibly
affect someone else? The fact is, thoughts do seem to boomerang in some mysterious
ways.
Science has not found a way to measure them as they have invisible sound
waves. In order to understand how positive thinking works, and how to use it
efficiently, it is important to understand the power of negative thinking.
“Negative thoughts and tensions are like birds. We cannot stop them from flying near us but, we can certainly stop them from making a nest in our mind.”
The mind can be directed towards positive thinking or negative thinking. The power of thought is a neutral power. The way one thinks determines whether the results are positive and beneficial or negative and harmful. It is the same of energy acting in different ways. Persistent inner work can change habits of thoughts. You must be willing to put energy and time to avoid negative thinking and pursue positive thinking, in order to change your mental attitude.

Think of those
things which are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, in other words, to fill your
mind with noble, good thoughts, leaving no room for negative ones to take root.
A simple way to think of this is to imagine your mind to be like a garden. That garden can be spoilt and overrun by negative, destructive thoughts (weeds), or it can become a place of peace and harmony by the cultivation of flowers (uplifting thoughts).
“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers. Or you can grow weeds.”
Are you prone to depression? Do you see your life as a hopeless mess... consider yourself a failure? If you do, then you will close your mind, see no opportunities, and behave and react in such ways, as to repel people and opportunities. You let the power of negative thinking rule your life. Try replacing such negative thoughts with positive ones.
At first, this kind of thought
control may seem like an inner game -- but you'll be surprised at how, slowly
but surely, your outer circumstances begin to change. For thought precedes
action, and the right thoughts precede a chain of good actions. Destructive
thoughts, on the other hand, act as poisoning agents. They embitter and limit
the thinker, preventing him or her from developing good relationships, because
others sense the wrong thoughts telepathically, and shy away instinctively.
Conversely, if you greet people with the thought that they'll probably be nice to know, such a positive thought will affect their response. If you're afraid of someone, replace that fear with a thought which recognizes that the person's given potential "core" is probably hidden under layers of unhappiness and wrong thinking. Silently bless that person, and ask that his or her true self be given a chance to manifest.
A friend was once terribly upset because someone was spreading false rumours about her. She could not deny the rumour publicly. All she could do was pray for the woman, try to think about her charitably and visualize her acting differently. She did this consistently for some weeks. One day, unexpectedly, the woman phoned her to apologize and say she'd been mistaken.

It seemed like a miracle! But right thinking can work miracles... Life has many different chapters for us. One bad chapter doesn't mean the end of the book. Be positive and keep your faith in . Once we function in harmony with beautiful laws of love and forgiveness -- and this includes spreading good, true and beautiful thoughts -- our lives will flower as they were meant to.
“Think positive, Think different. Don't waste your precious energy on negative thoughts.”
Decide that from today, from this very moment, you are leaving negative thinking behind, and starting on the way towards positive thinking and behaviour. It is never too late. Soon your life will turn into a fascinating, wonderful journey. Wake up every morning with the thought that something beautiful is about to happen. Let’s welcome each day with a smile and bid farewell with a smile.
We thank for blessings. Take advantage of our positive energy and employ them in doing well in this life. Let's learn, read and after that, we will find the entire universe will extend to us it's heart and the whole world will hug us with its beauty...
There is something beautiful in life. You just have to find it....be positive and it will find you!
