Think about the positives in your life and bring about more and more of them!
What aspects of your life do you give more thought to?
Do you think about the positives, or are you like most people and you give much of your thought and attention to the negatives?
Giving thoughts to negative experiences only brings more of them about.
In order to change your situation, you need to learn have to stop thinking about the negatives and to think solely about the positives.
In this way you can attract more positive circumstances, situations, and experiences in your life.
Thinking positively is not the hard part, the hard part is forgetting negative experiences.
I want to share some very wise advice from a master of positive thinking, Norman Vincent Peale.
The following lines are from his book A guide to confident living.
One of the most important of all skills is that of forgetting. It is said that the man is what he thinks, or what he eats.
A man is also what he forgets.
I am not straining to be paradoxical when I say that to be happy and successful you must cultivate the ability to say to yourself-forget it!
This may not be easy, neither is it as hard as you think, but one thing is certain, you must learn to forget.
Memory is one of the greatest of our faculties.
The ability to retain information and experience is of vital importance.
But it is a more subtle art to be able to cast out of the mind-or at least from a commanding a place in it-failures, events, unhappy things that should be forgotten.
It is a great skill to be able to be selective and say, “I will hold this in cherished memory. …. This other I shall cast from me.”
To be efficient, to be happy, to have full control of your powers, and to go ahead successfully, you must learn how to forget.
It all depends on whether you can forget the failures and mistakes and look expectantly to see in your situation, however unhappy it may be on the surface, the unexpected values and great opportunity it may contain.
