Positive thoughts make life better
IN STARTING to write these articles, my only aim is to share some thoughts on positive thinking with whoever believes in the possibility of improving their personal lives. These thoughts, which have slowly become my deeply rooted beliefs, are able to change anybody’s life, provided they are nursed with an open mind and, most of all, with trust. They are extremely simple, and they are neither new nor revolutionary. They only need to be pondered upon with a little more attention.
How much of your time do you dedicate to really useful thoughts that could be of help in “smoothing down” your daily problems? Do you believe that a thought can actually change your outlook on life? Have you ever tried? I mean ... really tried? It’s easy to say “yes, that’s a good idea ... I’ll try it sometime,” and then, of course, do nothing about it. If this is your attitude and you think that it’s okay, well ... it surely is okay — for you.
But it’s possible to see things from a different perspective. You only need to move your head just a bit, and you will see the star that you didn’t believe existed, because it was hidden in the shape of a tree. Your existence can become really meaningful, for you, for your dear ones, friends, colleagues, even simple acquaintances. You might not believe this right away but — remember these words — your life can contribute to the well being of the whole planet.
We are living in a very interesting time, a time when great changes and transformations happen at a quickening pace. You cannot remain still, stuck in a rut, just accepting your daily tasks (work, house, family, eating, sleeping...) as if nothing else existed. To be happy and grateful to God for all you have is a commendable attitude, a “must” that should never be forgotten. But you might also start feeling the need to go beyond, to be a more active participant in the development of the great plan that we call “life on earth.”
Earth means “here,” life means “now,” because the present is the only time you can actually experience and work within. Ponder upon these simple ideas and ask yourself if you are willing to embark on the wonderful journey we call “positive thinking.” If you are already familiar with the principles I am going to propose every time, you will possibly find new ideas that could inspire you to examine yourself more deeply.
Knowing the theory is not enough: You must first absorb it, believe it and make it yours. Only then will you be able to put these ideas into practice. After all, this is what you really need: To think, reflect, make reference to your own life and then ... go ahead and try! You will be amazed by the results. Don’t expect these to come immediately, because they won’t.
As a seed takes the time necessary to grow and eventually give its fruits, in the same way this positive path will lead you to a more serene and fulfilling life. Believe me, it is true. I have experienced and I am still experiencing it, day after day. You only need a little commitment. It is a life-long road, but it is the only one that can help you be the best you can be. Isn’t it wonderful to come to the realization that it is possible?
