How to be positive? A sure winner!

‘Once you replace the negative thoughts with positive ones, you will start having positive results’-Willie Nelson.

Tears welled in my eyes when I saw my friend bedridden with paralytic attack. She was such an active person and to see her sick and immobile made my heart heavy with sadness. But I was amazed to see her greet me with the same dazzling smile. How can she smile when she was bedridden? ‘Mathi, don’t worry, you will see me up and active the next time you see me’. I prayed god that I should see her active again.

When I saw her after six months, I was pleasantly surprised to see her ambulate and doing her own work. I hugged her and felt very good.

What made my friend recover from an ailment which makes most people bedridden?

It was her positive thought that she would recover which gave her the energy to recuperate fast. If she had been bogged by negative thoughts her depression would not have allowed her to fight against odds to recover from her deadly ailment.

This is the power of a positive mindset!

‘I might drown’, ‘there might be sharks around’ what will happen if the sea gets rough’ if such thoughts plague you, you will never venture into the sea. You swim as you know you can do it. Life is also like a sea with dangers all around, but nevertheless very challenging and exciting.
