Negative thinking

Er.  B.M.Kohli
In this great universe, the inner state of each one  of us determines  what it can receive and enjoy around it. Happy mind thinks of the happy things and saddened one will generally absorbs bitter aspects of life and again this is left for individuals  choice and bent of mind at the particular moment.  The rays of sun fall alike on dust and mirror  but what it perceives or reflects depends on its own surface or ability . As simple as that – dustful mind never feels the full intensity of warmth/shine   but  the clear mind does.   Sick mind does not enjoy the beauty of nature,  around it and feels  aloof from the scenario and remains involved in the  atmosphere created by him affected  with dust of his/her own thoughts .This, I suppose, applies  generally to all the persons who think differently and of course  in different ways for what is  happenings around them irrespective to good or bad. Sick/healthy minds are   not always inherited   but are   product of happenings around them also, which pushes them  to bear the fruits of their  present and  previous karmas.  And sometimes this  thinking   becomes  part of one’s  negative / positive mindset  which will be labelled on them    as their  attitude. It is difficult to assess exactly, but as seen, generally negative thinking appears to be more dominating  than positive thinking because of the fact that it is more tempting and  satisfies the ego instantly whereas in other case  you have to be in patience mode.  Doctors say that negative  type of thinking  aggravates  all the problems mental or otherwise. Negative thinking can create problems  all around, may it be a family  or any part of society. Such problems are  experienced in every body’s  routine  life but very often ignored and   positivity prevails over the situation. It is also observed that  with some people, some times , positive thinking requires some effort, whereas negative thinking comes easily and often uninvited depending upon the mindset at the particular moment .
This has much to do with education and the environment one has been living in. If you have been brought up in a happy and positive atmosphere, there is more probability that it will be easier for you to think positively  and  if – other way  under poor or difficult situations, you will more probably be attracted to negative thinking, presuming   such like circumstances may not appear again. You view the world through your predominant mental attitude. If your thoughts are positive, that is fine, but if they are negative, your life and circumstances would probably mirror these thoughts  and affect other fellows who have direct concern and create  very difficult situations. Particularly when  you believe that you are going to fail, you will unconsciously sabotage every opportunity to succeed. If you are afraid of meeting new people or having close relationships, you will do everything to avoid , and then complain that you are lonely and nobody loves you and so, you  no longer bother for them  whileas the sense of negativity / inferiority may be the reasons behind. I am not hesitant to say that a lot of such negative thinking is being induced by watching such popular TV episodes which are very common these days depicting enmity between brothers, sisters and other  family members.
By the time, the serial comes out with positive outcome after a year or  two  may be three , the seeds of hate and negativity find there roots  deeply embedded among the audience which tend to try such experiments  for the sake of adventure also. And when the serials may end with positive outcome for the sake of morality  but experimenting families may not come out from the misadventure done by them  due to personal egos involved and the result of negativity sown once then appears in the form of a tree full of  thorns. The good news is that persistent inner work can change habits of thinking among everyone. You must be willing to put energy and time to pursue positive thinking, in order to change your mental attitude.
