How Has Positive Thinking Helped You Overcome Life's Challenges? Let's Share Stories

Hi,

Are you a positive thinker? If so, let us share the situation where you have changed your problem by thinking with a positive attitude. There are many people who attempt suicide because of failure. I don't know why people end their lives without thinking for a while.

For example, students who failed in exams, people who don't succeed in love, etc. I think these are all small mistakes that they can change by altering their mentality and thinking positively, at least for a moment. Why can't they understand that there is a bright future for them?

Thanks

Hi Shilpa,

Yes, sure! I agree with you. Only through a positive attitude and sincere efforts can we achieve the biggest and toughest goals in our lives. These are the things that motivate us, and we start to believe that there is nothing impossible in the world.

Hi!

Without reading many positive thinking books, I used to tell myself whenever I failed or faced certain bad situations in my life: "I believe in God and trust that He has better plans for my future."

This line gives you some positive energy to overcome the negativity in that situation and also gives hope.

It is always better to have a positive skew in life without indulging in blind optimism.

"People who failed in love" reminds me of an assistant of mine who committed suicide for that. I remember his crying father, "How can you know what he is thinking?" Similar is the case of people who commit suicide because of exam failure. Ideas come from the unconscious mind, and one never knows how people react to them. If uncontrolled, they can lead to suicide. One has to address their deep-rooted fears to solve the problem permanently. The government has made the board exams optional because of the number of suicides in the last five years, but that is a cosmetic solution.

Life is never a smooth sailing comfortable journey, then their would have been no purpose of living if things come very easily. If we believe in Darwin Theory of nature “Survival of the Fittest”, you have to face and fight the situation to get the desired outcome. Its said “to win without risk is to triumph without glory”. We got to remember anything happens in our life happens for our own good, we only realize that after some period of time that too when we seat and analyze that situation. Every problem has an solution, only approach is to look for it instead of creeping of the a problem. It is like sitting at the bank of the river starring the wonderful world across without putting effort to cross the river to enjoy it. We are human being its natural to get sad, feel the burn of problem but that should be for a while, immediately should make you mind to look for solution and you will be surprise that the situation get resolved to your surprise I have faced the lifetime situation personally and in profession and its my experience you will never life with problem but as an opportunity to grow. As my philosophy is “Experience is how you face the situations and not how many you have completed”.

Thanks & Regards

Positive thinking starts when you accept a problem that has come up and begin to look for a solution, and not the cause of the problem. Positive thinking is when you say and are persevered to achieve it at any cost. (IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING) When you want it, you achieve it.

It's a common thing to curse problems because for every thought that a mind can think of, there are only 8 positive thoughts compared to 320 negative thoughts. So those 8 points you have to think:

Impossible is nothing. (Go for it) Knowledge (this is the only thing that holds us back to resolve a situation) Pragmatic approach. Hyper constant efforts. Trial and error/R&D Adaptability to change (accepting things as they come) Logical thinking and the last thing is putting this set together with confidence. Life gives, depends on how much can you take, and what can you make out of it...

I don't know what your age is, Prashant, but there are some things I would like to say from experience. Nothing is impossible. When you want it, achieve it. I am sure that our population of one billion people wants to have some gold Olympic medals and participate in the World Cup football but have not been able to. The problem is that in a company's context, because aptitude in all respects is not clearly transparent, people make statements like "Nothing is impossible." People make sweeping statements like "Nothing succeeds like success" without bothering to verify how much it applies to them, and some pay a very heavy price for that.
