Choose Positive Thought

Every new day has the potential of being the best day of your life.

Your mind can make that so. You decide what each day will bring.

by Michael Corthell

How many times have you heard yourself or someone else say, ''I don't think that will work.'' When you are negative minded you are more likely to say ''I can't'' or even, ''I don’t deserve anything good.'' A negative mindset will always limit you. It will always keep success from you. When you choose the negative, you have chosen to fail. 

The law of auto-suggestion is the subconscious adoption of an idea. It is up to you whether or not the idea is a positive one. Negative thoughts equal negative results and can be quite costly -- up to, and including your own life or the lives of others..

By the use of auto-suggestion, anyone can rise to great heights of achievement and accomplish things that were once unimaginable.  The following poem by Walter D. Wintle describes the positive mindset perfectly:

Thinking

If you think you are beaten, you are,
  If you think you dare not, you don't

If you like to win, but you think you can't,
  It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
  For out of the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow's will--
  It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
  You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself  before
  You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

  To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins
  Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!"

A positive mindset mixed with faith will move mountains. Positive mindfulness is a human being's ability to be fully present. That is, to be fully aware of where you are and what you're doing, and not be overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's by any drama going on around you.

Why practice mindful breathing? The basic task of the mindfulness of breathing is to focus on the sensation of the breathing process. Because the breathing process occurs in the present moment, focusing on individual breaths as they come and go necessarily means maintaining a present-centered, high-quality awareness. Also, focusing on the breathing process for any length of time requires continually remembering to pay attention to it, mindfulness as memory is involved as well.

So then, be mindful of your thoughts, they become words. Be mindful of  your words, they become actions. Be mindful of  your actions, they become habits.  Be mindful of  your habits, they become your character. Be mindful of your character, it becomes your destiny.

I'll finish up with this poem by James Allen:

As a Man Thinketh

"Mind is the Master power that molds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes

The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.

He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking glass."

The core of your being, your soul, will attract to itself those thoughts which are tucked away in your 'secret place'. Thoughts of love, but also of hate and infinite fears. You will, in your own mind create circumstances that are completely your own just by thinking them.
