Whether
we agree or not, many times, the mind "grinds" negative thoughts of
dissatisfaction (such as lack of forgiveness,
non-acceptance, resentment, envy, etc.) and in such situation/s, logically speaking, it has no way of
generating a positive and a healthy experience, isn’t it?!
The
extraordinary part of it is that the mind (representing
the totality of your thoughts) is "under the direction" of your
will, which is basically the ability to choose the kinds of thoughts it will
host, and that in itself gives us all tremendous hope. Your thoughts are like seeds: what you sow, you reap (right?!), and based on that you could choose a certain way of
thinking and subsequently a certain way of living.
Despite the fact that in our society, a human being does not always have the ability to influence the external circumstances and the behavior of his or her fellows, in the end s/he still has the ability to choose how to react to what it is done to her or to him.
Do you remember the saying: “life is 20 percent what happens to you and 80 percent how you respond”? Generally, that’s pretty much the case! Let it be clear that positive thinking does not mean you do not notice the bad things in life; it means that you try to find a solution in a productive way instead of whining about it.

I
know, in theory it sounds good and easy, but practically speaking it is a bit
harder.
Well, as you all know, when the ground slips away from under your feet, cling to the sky…Sunday is coming! Meanwhile, dear friends please stay healthy and wise!
