Power Of Positive Thinking I believe in myself and say I - TopicsExpress



          

Power Of Positive Thinking I believe in myself and say I can, Because I am special, I am a man. No barriers, no limits can stop me, No amount of pain, no amount of misery. No failure can stop me, no erring. Because I very well know that I am special! And so I believe that I will win the battle, Succeed, win and prove mettle.” Positive Thinking—the base upon which your success stands! Had the ant given up in trying and not tried to climb the wall because of its repeated unsuccessful attempts in doing so, it would have surely died in the well. Had not the will to free the country been strong in Mahatma Gandhi and in our other freedom fighters, India, the biggest democracy of the world, would never have been a reality. We would still have been under the rule of the British. Had not there been positive thinking, huge battles would not have been won and there would not have been big names like the Tatas, the Birlas and the Ambanis. Had the fear of failure disturbed the great scientists of the time, the world would not have been what it is today. “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end up by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” Truly said, these are the words of our own Bapu—Mahatma Gandhi. Positive attitude—let us try and define it at first. What do you really mean by a positive frame of mind? Does it mean that you overlook the hardships of life? No, not really. Positive attitude is a mental condition which anticipates happiness, joy, health and favourable results. It does not mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life’s less pleasant situations. It just means that you approach the ‘unpleasantness’ in a more positive and productive way. Think the best is going to happen, not the worst. The story I am about to tell is but an excellent example of positive thinking and its power, which prevails not just in humans, but in every living species on the planet. Here it goes: The eagle coaxed her offspring to the edge of the nest. Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging. ‘Why does the thrill of soaring high into the air have to begin with the fear of falling?’, she thought. As her nest was located high in the shelf of a sheer rock face, below there was nothing but air to support wings of each eaglet. Despite her fear, the eagle knew it was time. Her parental responsibility was almost complete. There remained only one final task, the push, to make the eaglets to learn to fly. The eagle drew courage from an innate wisdom and had a positive outlook. She knew that until the eaglets learn how to soar into the air, they would fail to understand the privilege that what it was to be born as an eagle. The push was the greatest gift she had to offer to the eaglets. And so, one by one she pushed them all, and they started flying. For the first time, the eaglets discovered the power of their wings. Even, in our lives, we inevitably come across such feelings of sublimity, when standing on the threshold we take the flight for the unexplored territories of success. When a calamity strikes you, what can save you from it is your positive attitude. It does not mean that you just think that is for good, stay back doing nothing and think that someone will come and save you. Here, a positive attitude comes in the picture when you look towards the things that you should do, now that the calamity has struck. You have to think of all possible ways to save yourself, and have to approach the calamity with a power greater and stronger than the calamity itself—your positive thinking and your strong willpower! And when you gather your spirits and strike back, the calamity has to give in to your efforts of saving yourself. And even this experience can teach you. It can teach you to survive amidst hardships and can make your willpower even more stronger. Epictetus, the ancient Greek sage and philosopher, has rightly said, “Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control. Sickness may challenge your body. But are you merely your body? Lameness may impede your legs. But you are not merely your legs. Your will is bigger than your legs. Your will needn’t be affected by an incident unless you let it.” The dark, dreary jungles of time lie silent and still, filled with generations of people—stagnant, caught in eternal struggles to avoid the throes of chaos. However, in the midst of the dismal and profound gloom, a single flower blooms— fresh, vibrant petals as they unfurl, fanning their russet robes
