Positive Attitude

July 13, 2016 11:08pm CST
Positive attitude always helps us in our growing. It will cheer up us and others too by spreading our smile. Last week I went to see my friend and her husband who is suffering from nerve syndrome. Even though he is counting his days and in bed, they both are talking in signs and perfect understanding. They even manage to arrange catering through their discussion. I have seen the positive attitude there and prayed for him to recover soon.

A magnet is useful by being both positive and negative within itself being balanced as well!
Positive thinking alone is not enough because it is not all encompassing. If we are seeing everything only ever from the positive side, we are missing out on the many other ways of thinking. At times, negative thinking also plays its rightful role in our lives, and so the catchphrase here should be balanced thinking, rather than our pushing our thinking too far in the extreme towards either direction on this scale. Never overreach to the end in either direction, or you just may fall over in the process, leaving the real you behind, by trying to hold onto the false, or to an inflated ego stance alone. Thinking on its own is not the problem. It is matching the thinking with an emotion or an attitude that brings the thought into a life of its own. Our subsequent actions, and coming results are then often not so much influenced by our initial way of thinking, but more from the feeling with which we follow the thought up with. We thereby animate the thought, bringing it to life in either a negative or a positive way. You learn from both the negative and the positive, and most people say that they actually learn more from a painful experience than a happy one. I guess this is so because pain tends to focus us more inwards on what is happening. Happiness also focuses us outwards, as well as inwards of course, because we tend to share, and spread its message to others. Happiness goes forth from us as an energy that often changes those around us as well. Positive thinking is also subtly based on this same fear indirectly, as on which negative thinking is more directly based. Stop trying to paint the thought either way, and just see if there is love within it or not. Sometimes love brings pain, and this might be seen initially to be negative, but it never is. All always serves love. Pain must take you on its journey through love even as you thereby become more consciously aware of love's truths from this process of experiencing love in its infinite ways, and which of course includes from both our negative, and our positive experiences. Pain is a great teacher, that loves positively in its negative way. Positive thinking then is never enough on its own. It distorts too much the true picture that love is trying to show us, and which often includes also some negative and painful aspects of itself, and that we would often rather not look at, but sometimes try to push them all behind the cloud that we label as positive thinking. On the other hand though, a positive attitude does help to foster a more conducive environment than a hostilely negative one. This too though is a result of our holding onto negative traits such as resentment, anger, past hurt, or pain created from refusing to accept things for what they really are. A negative situation can be looked at in a positive way, and a positive situation in a negative way. There is far more involved in all of this than our just trying not to be positively negative, or even trying not to be negatively positive, instead of in contrast trying only not to be ever negatively negative, and so only trying to be positively positive all of the time. What I am trying to say here is that life is a mixed bag of emotions, that contain some negative elements mixed together with the positive. We should take all aspects of life and love into consideration, and not throw anything away by trying to ignore the negative aspects of love, because we only want to see its positive aspects. Are there any benefits to trying to be positive then after all, is positive thinking ever enough on its own? Positive thinking is a good thing to aim for in general, but do not aim for it in a way that makes the positive too positive, and so it becomes then a negative. Always try to retain the balancing insight of where negativity plays its own part, and so never overbalance yourself by seeing only the positive in a way that blankets out all else. A positive attitude on the other hand is nearly always a good thing!
