Positive Thinking: The Glass is Half-FULL
“Someone poured me a sparkling glass of cold water. How refreshing! It’s the perfect amount of water to wet my whistle and quench my thirst. It may not be full to the top, but the absence of half of the volume of water doesn’t bother me. After all, the glass is still half-full. ” Although that glass may appear half-empty to some, we chose to see if in a positive light. This choice creates a positive perspective. That is the power of positive thinking.
Positive thinking is a way of looking at things in a positive light. Seeing the beauty and the good in everything, everyone, and every situation. There are no worries, problems, or fears. Although there may be challenges, a focus is placed on what good can come out of any situation, what lessons can be learned to better you as a person, and what you already have to be grateful for.
The power of positive thinking is a tool that can help you build the life that you want. Because the mind is working on the information you send it, positive thinking leads to a positive reality. Positive thinking can make us beautiful and smart, help land that dream job, or even find our true love. But we have to use it properly and we have to continue working on it regularly. Through practice and dedication, positive thinking can become a habit and, in time, it will allow you to create the life you desire.
One great way to harness the power of positive thinking is by using affirmations. Affirmations are statements used to declare a desire while being spoken in the present tense. With the help of the law of attraction and repetition, affirmations can help you manifest your desires. Affirmations are most successful when they are used in conjunction with the phrases “I intend…” or “I am in the process of..” For example, an affirmation statement like “I have an abundance of wealth” can insight feelings of doubt or disbelief if it’s currently untrue. These feelings can delay the effect of the power of the affirmation. Although it will still be powerful in changing the way one thinks, saying it in a slightly different way can yield better, quicker results. Saying “I intend to have an abundance of wealth” instead generates positive feelings because of the truth behind the way the statement is worded, which adds to it’s power.
