Understanding The Different Types Of Thoughts That The Mind Creates (Part 6)
We have explained Positive Thoughts yesterday. Today we continue with the same:
Positive Thoughts (cont.)
Positive thoughts make you happy and as a result your expectations of others decrease.
This does not mean that they do not matter to you, but that you no longer demand
love, respect, recognition, or even calm, from them, and it makes your relationships
that much easier. This is the best way to create long-lasting and harmonious relationships.
When you have inner happiness, you have the strength to accept other people as they
are without wanting them to be different. This acceptance produces more peaceful
relationships. With the positive attitude you create, you can offer yourself to
other people just the way you are, with your virtues and limitations, without pretence.
Your body also benefits greatly, since when you have a balanced, harmonious mind
you are less susceptible to illnesses. A person who has many useless thoughts will
often feel very tired because they are spending their energy in creating thousands
of unnecessary and inefficient thoughts.
Your mind is strengthened and healed by being nourished with positive thoughts.
A healthy mind is the basis of a balanced personality.

Message for the day 10-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Faith brings victory.
Expression: When things seem to be going wrong again and again we begin to
get upset and curse our fate. Mentally we seem to accept our defeat and when we
start something new, we are not always able to be confident as there is an underlying
fear of failing. When there is fear, it will be difficult for us to succeed as we
are not able to do things to the best of our ability.
Experience: We need to be alert under all circumstances. This will help us
to recognise negativity as soon as it comes up. Instead of making our mind negative
when things go wrong, we need to work at increasing our faith that things will work
out fine. Then we will also be able to give our best to the task with confidence.
And we will be successful in whatever we take up.
