Understanding positive thinking

...See more Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst. Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information. If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet

...See more Everyone of us has had to face challenges and adversity in life. If you have a beating heart, there is no getting away from it. When times get tough, it’s helpful and heartwarming to know that “this too will pass” yet, how we respond or react to the more extreme circumstances in life, especially in times of persistent trial and trouble, truly defines us. To be challenged is an opportunity to discover who we really are outside the mundane and day to day demands and expectation of our life. It reshapes our personality and colours the outcomes we achieve. I can not speak for you, but courage for me is not a virtue, it is an attribute worth cultivating. It is not the absence of fear, heroics or bravado; but rather, it is the overcoming of fear, helplessness, complacency, and self-limitation – so that fear becomes, in the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, “the footstool to the other virtues”.
