Positive thoughts are the key to leading a successful life

Since childhood a thought that kept troubling me was: Why do we pray? Later I learned that god listens to those who pray with a pure heart.

If our intentions are pure, god will solve our problems and keep us on the right track. I have always listened to my inner voice. However, over the years the intensity with which I used to pray has diminished, and now, my faith on the fact that work is worship has strengthen­ed.

Meditating in the early hours of the morning has helped me channel my thoughts towards positivity. Early morning is a good time for communicat­ion. This is because the thoughts are clear and the brain thrives on this clarity. If the right words are used at the right time, we will be successful in creating a wonderful society. I always feel that a wrong emotion is a tool that can cause destructio­n.

It is important to keep positive thoughts in one’s mind. But often fears build up in our minds. At such times, we should turn to god and focus on his message. It’s also important to focus on our failures, because it will help us from not repeating it. This in turn will help us to work hard and achieve positive results.
