Positive Thinking
What Stops You from Being Positive?
There are many reasons that make it difficult to produce and hold on to positivity
in your mind and attitude. The external information we receive is mainly negative,
and our thoughts and conversations are based on this information. Other causes include:
* Other people's negativity rubbing off on you; Other people's criticisms influencing
you;
* Self-doubt;
* Lacking clear objectives in life;
* Not having recognized your true qualities, virtues and values;
* Lacking self-confidence;
* Not believing you are a positive person;
* Keeping the past in your mind;
* Being egoistic;
* Comparing yourself with others;
* Having low self-esteem;
* Being frustrated or irritated;
* Lacking flexibility or tolerance with people or situations, etc.

Message for the day 20-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who serves with the balance of the head and the heart is the one who is successful.
Expression: We usually give directions to people when they go wrong. We also
use a lot of logic when we give such directions, but it doesn't always have the
desired effect. We then begin to consider the other person to be wrong.
Experience: What we need to do is to have a balance of both the head and
the heart while giving our suggestions to others. That means we need to have a lot
of love while giving our suggestions to them. Then whatever we say will have its
effect on them.
