As a child, I was told that an idle mind is the devils workshop. You too may have heard the same thing, and yes when we drift away from being positive we become susceptible to thoughts that may take us off the things we want to accomplish. Knowing that, why would you want to leave your mind idle?
To put it differently, and as Dr. Willie Jolley said, “Life is a fight for territory. When you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want start taking over.” That is, when you stop thinking positively about yourself or the things you desire to accomplish, you in turn leave your mind vacant for negativity to start taking root in your precious, mind.
“Don’t leave your mind vacant fill it with positive thoughts.” –Unknown
We may not be able to do everything, but sometimes we choose not to do what we want to do because it doesn’t come easy. With that type of mindset, we in turn leave room for unproductive thoughts to become the norm.
“You cannot live a positive life with a negative mind.” –Unknown
By doing so, what ends up happening is that our minds get occupied by things that only take us further down on a path that is totally opposite to where we want to go. And you know what; sometimes we don’t even recognize that a downward spiral is taking place until a lot of damages are already done. They have said, “Positive thinking cannot give you everything, but it can give you a lot more than what negative thinking will ever give you.” We may not be able to be positive 24/7, but we don’t have to allow negativity to become a habit.
You are admired for your positive outlook on life. Don’t mine who doesn’t say it!
IT IS POSSIBLE TO GO BEYOND LIMITATIONS. IT MAY NOT BE EASY, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE.
