The Power of Positive Thinking
Have you watched the news lately? Have you really watched the news? Turn on your TV, read the headlines….the world is in big trouble.
Having said that, the people who know me know that I am eternal optimist and I sincerely believe that people in general have had enough of this chaos. They’ have had enough violence, the terror and the killing. They have had enough of the quarrelling and fighting between themselves. They are finally beginning to turn off the news, ignore the articles on violence and terror and endless suffering.
They’ have had enough of their own lives not working, of seeing their relationships their families, their relationships fall apart, of watching their children suffer, of having their own dreams delusive and disappear in front of their very eyes.
They have had enough of everything being such a struggle in their lives, with every day filling itself with adversity and difficulty. They have had enough of consistently pushing themselves against the wind.
They are finally beginning to lose patience with themselves and this twisted world that we have created and saying, “There has to be a better way.”
I believe that this is cause for celebration and hope because people are finally beginning to realise that they do have a choice.
They have a choice in the life they are creating and they have a choice in how they are experiencing this life they are now living. They have finally discovered that the answers, the knowledge and the tools are out there for us to use, in fact they have been around for centuries but we are finally beginning to appreciate and acknowledge them.
95% of what we know about the capabilities of the human brain has been learnt in the past 25 years. Our schools, universities, and companies are only beginning to apply this emerging understanding of human potential.
Our civilization stands at the brink of its greatest adventure and its most extraordinary achievement. For those of that believe I am being a bit over-dramatic here, just wait a few years and you will see. You can choose to be a part of this renaissance or you may not. The choice is yours, it always is!.
We need to learn how to think differently, all that is necessary is that you open your mind. For if we do not listen to this wisdom now, we may not have many more chances to fix what we have already broken. We are at the edge you see. We have gone so far as we can go in the direction we have been taking. We need now to change our thinking if we wish to preserve lift as we know it.
Each of us cannot afford more arrogance, anger and indifference. We have found a way to pack the end of the world in a briefcase, to hurt each other in immeasurable ways. We have decided that to have domination over each other means to destroy each other – and then to pretend that we don’t know what we are doing it. We have chosen to allow 20% of the world to receive 80% of the wealth, and we call this the good life.
We are, in short confused. Yet there is a way out of this confusion, and it is through learning new knowledge, to learn how to do the same things differently, with more compassion, with more consciousness. Mother Teresa once said; “ Let everyone sweep in front of their door and the whole world will be clean.”
