Positive Attitude

Thomas Edison was 67 years of age when his lab caught fire and everything was in flames. He was laughing aloud and his son thought he had a nervous breakdown because his lifelong work was destroyed. Then Edison told his son “ Charles, there is a great value in disaster; thank God, all are mistakes are burnt and we can start afresh.” Within a week, he invented the phonograph successfully.  This is the winner’s attitude.
I’m sure no explanation is required about the need to have Positive Attitude. Let’s have a look at some of the effects our attitude has on our body: 
Negative:
  • Creates harmful chemicals in blood
  • Damages brain cells
  • Increases chances of deadly diseases
 Positive:
  • Creates chemicals that boost energy and happiness
  • Increases life span upto 120 years
  • Helps in fighting deadly diseases. Cancers of last stage are getting cured with PA and HIS grace.
But how do we change our attitude from negative to positive? How do we stay positive in the face of adversities? A few points to do so-
1. Have noble objectives, they shall inspire you to keep moving positively.
2. Power of repetition: Repeat self affirming messages to yourself everyday like, today I shall not be disappointed, today I shall look for good in everyone I meet. More on this in my earlier post on

3. Be the captain of your ship: Take charge of yourself as the captain takes charge of his ship under all circumstances. More on http://deepali-enlightenment.blogspot.com/2010/03/thought-management.html
4. Get charged up: How do we charge our mobile phone? It gets charged on getting connected to an electrical connection. How do we charge ourselves? By connecting with the Divine GOD through-
  • Prayers, Meditation                                  
  • Moving on the path shown by HIM
  • Talking to GOD like we talk to a very dear one
6. Look at the larger picture:
  • Remember that God has sent you with a divine purpose
  • Don’t waste time and energy on petty things 
  • Look at everyone as God’s creation and treat him with love and respect
  • Forget and forgive
  • Remember that it is between you and HIM
7. Leave the place where others are indulging in negative conversation like abuse, idle gossip, criticism etc., it’ll save you from negative charges.
8. Look at failures and problems as blessings in disguise. HE wants you to do better and knows that you can do it.
9. Read at least one page of inspiring book every day:

10. Watch inspiring movies.
11. Always sit and walk with your back straight. It will strengthen your confidence and inner strength.
12. Smile with your heart, God blesses through your smile.

You do your best, HE will do the rest.
