POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

Anything we entertain our minds that are constructive, helpful, optimistic and encouraging are manifestation of positive thinking. Positive thinking means a kind of mental attitude in which one expects good and favourable results. This type of mental approach allows the mind to register thoughts, perceptions and mental images that promote growth and success. A person with a positive mind experiences joy, happiness, contentment and success in whatever situation.

Everyone faces problems in life but with a positive outlook, one can remain optimistic. When one expect the best out of life, he/she does not dwell on bad things and thus bypass all negativity.

The most successful people throughout history had this one common trait; they all recognized the power of positive thinking. Gandhiji was a strong advocate of positive thinking. He believed – “A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes”.

Positive thinking helps us to believe in ourself. It motivates us to set goals and reach for them. When we are expecting positive results, there are no negative thoughts to hold us back. Our firm faith that all is going to be well not only makes us give our best but also prepares us to face the challenges that come our way.

Dhirubhai Ambani, at the age of 17, went to Yemen. He started his journey as a gas station attendant, where he earned ₹300 per month. He built up the position of sales manager and returned back to India after 8 years to start up something of his own. He founded Reliance Industries. Today he is one of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs. It was his positive attitude and inexhaustible energy that led him through all the obstacles to emerge as the Indian business tycoon. Because of his overarching ambition and never-say-die spirit, Reliance was the first Indian company to feature in Forbes 500 list. Thus positive thinking leads to positive actions which in turn translate into positive results.

Positive thinkers always find a way to look at the positive in any situation. Instead of lamenting or grumbling about things not working their way, they make efforts and look for solutions to fix their problems. Abraham Lincoln is the greatest example for whom things did not worked in his way. He was born into a poverty stricken family. He faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could have quit many times but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of the USA. 

M.S. Dhoni is another example. He started his career as a railway ticket collector. But he was a person with a dream larger than his reach. He always made constant effort to achieve his dream of becoming a cricketer. Since he was convinced of positive results of his efforts, he remained upbeat and optimistic. This helped him to dismiss unfounded fears, and insulates him from all anxiety and uncertainty related to the outcome of the results. Finally he became the pride of our country and India’s World Cup winning captain.

Similarly, Mr. Narendra Modi who was born into a humble family with limited means. He started selling tea at a very young age for his livelihood. Irrespective of all the adverse circumstances, with a positive attitude he kept his face up and started working in one direction only. Today, he is the Prime Minister of India and one of the most talked about leaders internationally. Thus when one thinks positively focuses more on solutions than on difficulties and hence spends more time to build up his/her strengths rather than feel sorry for his/her shortcomings.

Positive thinking is thus powerful thinking. In the words of Gibran, “Your living is determined not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens”. This has stood the test of time and still hold true.

Positive thinking, however, does not mean that negative does not exist. There is a thin line between thinking positive and living in a state of denial. A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative but he refuses to dwell on it. 

In a world, where doubts and fear thrive, maintaining a positive attitude is indeed challenging. But if one wants to achieve success in life, one have to consciously build this mindset. No matter what happens in life be determined to think positively.  

In the words of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam – 


If you fail, never give up because
F.A.I.L. means “First Attempt In Learning”
End is not the end, in fact
E.N.D. means “Effort Never Dies”
If you get No as an answer, remember
N.O. means “Next Opportunity”.
So let’s be POSITIVE.
