How To Use Positive Thinking

James Allen describes one of the best analogies on positivity that I have ever read in his timeless classic “As a Man Thinketh.” He likens the mind to a garden. If planted with beautiful plants and carefully nurtured and tended to, the garden will yield beautiful flowers and be
a place of comfort, beauty and peace. If neglected, weeds will creep in and destroy the beauty and yield thorns, destruction and harshness. Of-course, some twisted or strange gardener may actually deliberately plant weeds and unpleasant plants.
It is the same with the mind. If you plant beautiful, healthy thoughts into your mind you will reap a beautiful, healthy life. If you plant negative thoughts, you will reap destruction and despair in your life. If you
neglect to feed your mind healthy thoughts and to protect it from negative thoughts, the weeds of destruction will creep in and choke your mind. Another
way thoughts can be planted in your mind is through subliminal messages.
A positive mental attitude will yield good results in the same way that negative thinking will yield bad results.
You cannot sow poison ivy and hope to reap apples.
You cannot think negative thoughts and hope to live a positive life. Seed-time and harvest are the laws we live by. You reap what you sow. You live what you
think. You live what you say. That is why it is important to say the right things and sometimes we have to make a deliberate effort to do so through positive affirmation.
Realize that your thoughts are under your control. If you don’t, you will be under the control of your thoughts. Realize what the power of positive thinking can do to change your life and give you a brighter
future – the kind of future you want.
You are in control - Harness the power of positivity.
Isn’t that good news? That means YOU are in control.
Not fate. Not lady luck. YOU.

Happy Sunday!!!
