Positive Results

Positive thinking is a intelligent approach that admits into the intellect the belief that positive thoughts, words, images and actions are beneficial to your personal growth and development as a human being. It is a joyful path to success and happiness on a psychological as well as a physical level. You simply put yourself into a mental attitude that anticipates superior and positive results. An optimistic psyche awaits happiness, enjoyment, good health and a successful result in all your actions and endeavors. Basically it is the thought that, whatever you project out into the world is what you receive back. If you are a positive person you can expect positive results.

Not everybody accepts or believes this, so in talking to many different individuals about it, expect may differing attitudes. Many consider the very subject to be a magic act; hocus pocus to be sprung upon minds that are weak and in need of help. They criticize others who believe it and act upon it. Others believe, but do not fully understand what it takes to be successful. After all, positive thinking without positive action is, though uplifting, not complete. After all, what exactly does positive thinking really mean? How do you capitalize on positive thinking with positive action? How do you put yourself into the position to win?

One of the first things to remember is, positive thinking isn’t magic. It is a real and beneficial way of changing your perceptions. It is a way to bring your mind into a position of dominance over the world around you, simply because you refuse to entertain negative thoughts and replace those whenever they drift into your mind with positive ones. Visualize yourself taking positive action and visualize a positive outcome to all of your ventures. Do this over and over, because repetition is the key to making this a habit in your life. Nothing is achieved overnight, and positive thinking is the same as anything else. Do it again and again, finally you will find that the positive thoughts flow easier into your mind and negative ones more difficultly. As you progress in your positive thinking you will see it begin affect those around you, and it will become easier still. Smile more, laugh more, thinking good and positive thoughts will definitely spread to those around you.

Optimism as a Philosophy

One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Woody Allen, and goes something like this;

“More than at any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.” - Woody Allen

If that were true, then we would all be in trouble. Luckily, it is funnier than it is true, though it can sure seem that way some days. Also luckily, we don’t have to choose negativity. We can choose optimism. As an Optimist your gratefully accepted challenge is to find a positive in any circumstances. Optimism as a philosophy is a positive and uplifting creed. As an optimist you can affect the entire world with your attitude and actions. To be an optimist is to make the free choice, today, to make the world a better place to be for yourself and those around you. My recommendation is to take on the philosophy of optimism simply because it is the best thing to do for yourself. To be gloomy all the time gets you nowhere. To feel optimism is to feel you can accomplish something. That you can change things around you for the positive and help the world. The love you feel for the world can be expressed through your service to it and to mankind in general. I challenge all to take on some kind of service, whether it be simple humble service or large, grandiose service doesn’t matter. Helping your fellow human beings can be noble, uplifting and can positively affect your own life. Keep a smile on your face and remain optimistic. It can’t hurt, and it certainly can help.

A Fashionable Mantra

"With no God there is no morality." This fashionable mantra is a persuasive refinement of a false philosophy wreaking destruction and mayhem on human happiness. This blatant and illogical maxim manages to express in very sparse prose the incredibly ancient debate over morality being something that is divinely given and one that is utterly determined by human beings themselves. If you accept that morality comes from a God then you have to accept that he controls every aspect of your life. If you cannot be moral without a God, then ultimately accepting religion into your life is paramount to living a life of morality. So be definition, an atheist cannot be moral, and can only live a life of immorality, no matter what his or her standpoint is, philosophy, actions and lifestyle. According to this religious philosophy, to live a moral life one must subjugate one’s own ego and actions to an omnipotent and omniscient God who is the ultimate force for morality and the ultimate judge of your own personal morality. Therefore, to act for oneself, to decide for oneself what is moral and what is not is inherently a selfish and therefore immoral act. Theoretically, even if you are ignorant of a God and know not what you do, you are being immoral, because you haven’t subjugated your entire existence to this moral deity. You must live by “faith” in your God, take all his commandments to you as law, live only by God’s truth, determined by him for you, or you are not living morally and in fact have a fundamental and selfish existence at the core of your life. Again, this doesn’t have any bearing on whether you are doing moral acts, living decently or practicing what a religious organization thinks of as moral and good acts; without a belief in a God you cannot be a moral and upright individual.

Enjoying What You Have

I've always been an optimist I suppose. I always believe that you can overcome if you try hard enough, work hard enough to do so. It isn't easy to triumph, that much is certain, but you can if you try. I guess I don't believe in any no-win situations. There always has to be some kind of benefit, way out or solution to a situation, though it may not always be the one you wanted or counted on. Loving life means embracing it; you have to embrace all of it, not just the good times. If that were true then life would be easy and we'd be more than bored. I believe most people wouldn't truly want to live that life if they knew it was going to be easy day after day, with no challenges, no surprises. You might as well be a sheep or a cow in that kind of existence.

To love life is to enjoy what you have, when you have it. If you don't embrace all that is in your life you quickly find yourself missing out on the best of what life has to offer. Maybe it's your kids, your spouse or significant other, your job, your hobbies. Embrace them now, urgently and enjoy every second, because those moments will not come again. That is one of the certainties about life. This moment will pass on and become the past and you cannot go back and regain it. Love your friends, love your family and enjoy them as they are right now or risk losing those moments and hating yourself for it later.
