A positive mind: The foundation for change

Your ability to change the unchangeable is the power that God has blessed you by birth. For that, you need to maintain it. It’s not the skill, experience or knowledge; it’s the condition in which you maintain this ability. I call it as powerful, positive mind. We are living in a world where, by nature, you will have negative reference from the past experiences; you are constantly bombarded with negativity. In spite of all this, your ability to have a positive vision for the present and the future is called powerful, positive mind. Only this mind has the power to remove the negativity. Many come to me saying that in spite of thinking and talking positive things, they don’t seem to see any positive changes in life. There is a greater secret which many fail to realise. What happens when you don’t hold a positive thought? You may not get negative thoughts, but you can’t always have a positive feeling if you don’t make the effort to remain positive. I want everybody to read this with full sincerity. A positive mind may not give you positive results all the time. A positive mind is not only a foundation for positive change but also helps in removing the negativity. In other words, a positive mind may not give positive results always but will remove the existing negativity. A negative mind will always give only negative results, removing the existing positivity in your mind. You don’t need any other better reason to stay positive. Our Vedas too insist that no poison can kill a positive thinker. No medicine can ever save a negative thinker.

Everybody is blessed with the power to choose between a positive thought and a negative thought in any given situation. Choosing the negative thought over positive thought is like picking a rock instead of diamond when you had the choice to pick the diamond. Sometimes, it so happens that we drop the diamond to pick up the rock. That is the fate of human being when you don’t have a powerful, positive mind. Now the question is how to have a powerful positive mind. This is where meditation plays an important role and atma-dhyana is not just a spiritual process, it’s a practical and scientific process to strengthen the mind to remain positive in spite of the negativity that you are surrounded by.

Once you gain this power through meditation, there are six things that will happen to you in life:

1. Positive thinking which will remove all possibilities of negative thoughts

2. You will not only start believing in yourself but will stop doubting yourself

3.You will no longer fear to face failures. A person with a positive thought will have the strength to stand up and fight again till he/she wins the situation over. A strong person will try to stand up and face any situation boldly.

4.You will no longer criticise others; rather, you will facilitate others to achieve success. This magic will happen once you attain a powerful positive mind.

5.You will never be a part of negative talks. You will also make sure everyone is influenced to speak and think positive.

6.You will drop the worst enemy of human beings-called procrastination. You will get into commitment in action. Not everyone can manifest their dreams. People who are committed to action with respect to vision are the ones who enjoy success. The real suffering in the human world is not due to lack of knowledge, but due to self-betrayal.

And now, I don’t think you need to think twice about whether to start meditation and to realise the need of meditation that it is not for spiritual reason but for the most practical reason, to transform your mind into a powerful positive mind. Once this happens, you will have the power to transform anything in your life.

Wishing you a life full of peace, success & abundance.
