I always
believe that there are two sides to life. The positive side, and the negative
side. Or instead of "side" you may chose to refer to it as
"part" or maybe "perspective" to make it more appropriate.
Whichever one you chose, the point am trying to make here is that we view
life's circumstances from two different angles, which eventually influences how
we approach them. Our lives are fraught with so many unpleasant circumstances
that require change, and the way we handle the situation determines the extent
to which we effect the change that will yield the desired result. One thing
that I find interesting is, whatever decision we make, and whatever approach we
take in tackling the situation, it will always result in a change. Therefore it is very important that
we exercise care in approaching any situation in order to make the right
decision that will give us the desired
result. There are different ways of solving problems, and there is always a
better way of going about it. Finding solution to life's problem could be
somewhat challenging, and whatever comes out of it is solely our responsibility
which is the product of the state of our
mind. A greater percentage of the
circumstances we find ourselves in are the product of our minds. With our
minds, we can control everything that happens to, and around us. Our initial
reaction to circumstances determines the effect it has on us. It is not
unnatural for one to express shock ,fear, or worry when the circumstances
warrant such. In fact there is nothing
wrong about that. It only goes to prove that we are humans. But there are so
many things wrong when we allow these
negative emotions to overwhelm us. It posses a great psychological danger, and
goes to prove that we are not in control of our mental faculties. A man whose mind is full of worry,
and fear can never think clearly no matter
how hard he tries. Negative emotions blurs the mind, and always leads to
confusion. Some people indulge in self pity in order to console themselves, and
when they expect you to join them in their worry fiesta, and you refuse, they assume you are not caring.
The truth is ,fear, worry, and every other negative emotions have never
produced a positive result. Only positive emotions does. It never pays to be negative. But even when
the situation seems hopeless, a wise man will always remain positive because
there is no harm in doing so, but there is so much harm in doing otherwise.
Being positive is all about being confident, optimistic, and focusing on good things rather than bad. It is being
hopeful in a hopeless situation. It is being happy in a sad situation. It is
putting on a bright smile when your eyes is filled with tears. It is getting up when life pulls you down. It is saying no
to defeat, and saying yes to victory. Maintaining a positive mindset requires
effort, and it is only practiced by those who are emotionally mature. History
is filled with the testimony of men who
achieved great success in their lifetime because they always responded
to circumstances with positive out look. They always tried to see the positive
side of everything, and every situation, and it
worked for them………….if it worked for them, I believe it will work for
you too. In order for you to achieve this, there is need for a paradigm shift.
You need to reorient yourself on what life is all about, and how things work.
The idea you have about life is a very
vital factor that determines what you get out of it. Life is governed by
certain rules, and principles, and when you play by these rules, and
principles, you will be at the top of your game. Life does not have favorites,
but it honors those whose standard of living conforms with the standard of the
divine.
