Is it true that Positive thinking actually provides right direction to one’s career?
First of all we need to understand what positive thinking is. Actually we need to understand that that when we keep on thinking that everything good will happens to us is, not positive thinking. Also when we say that we read good books, think positive and good for others, assume that our friends are positive and we keep thinking positive things is again not positive thinking.
To wish something all the time is not positive thinking as it has been mentioned in the book “the secret” also which I don’t agree and feel that it must be corrected. Because what we wish is not necessary that others also wish or want. In wishful thinking only our wishes are focused and if we keep on wishing something that doesn’t mean that we will get the same. Positive thinking and wishful thinking are two different things. As we know now a day a lot of students commit suicide and recently a student committed suicide because was not able to score 98% as he has aspired to but just scored only 96%. This type of thinking is not positive thinking.
Positive thinking is not getting what we wish but it is actually making continuous efforts till we don’t achieve what we aspired for.
If one wants to achieve something then how can one implement the law of positive thinking for the same?
It can be explained through a practical example of 20-20 league matches. Career can also be compared with a cricket match. As when we are on the field and the first ball comes with a failure and so the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th ball, one didn’t score something and still is on the field with a determination that will definitely win, then this is called positive thinking. Because one has not ceased the hope, courage to face all defeats and failure and still is enthusiastic to deliver with full efforts. Therefore, such thinking is in true words, is positive thinking.
Elaborate the difference between wishful thinking & positive thinking.
Wishful thinking means if we start dreaming and aspiring about something. For example, if one starts dreaming that first I will be selected in PMT, then will become a doctor and after that will open my own clinic, this wishful thinking will make an imaginative space and if we have any doubt, we will fail and that happens in wishful thinking. But if instead of wishful thinking one has a practical approach, thinking and concentrates thoroughly on efforts without thinking about the result, then it is called positive thinking.
In short we can state that if we focus on efforts that are positive thinking and if we focus on results that are wishful thinking, which generates negative thinking which makes us hopeless and often people commit suicide in that case. But focusing on effort, karma and action leads to positive thinking and ultimately to success.
How to recognize negative thinking and how we can remove it from within?
All humans are composed of negative and positive thinking in combination. Neither anybody can deny that they don’t have negative thinking nor can state that they are 100% positive. Actually we all are having combination of both. Now it depends on person to person how much element of positivity or negativity they have. We think more regarding completion of any work or more on the failure of the work. I think if we think 60% positive and 40% negative, then an angle of incidence will be formed. We must focus on our company and should continuously monitor whether we are surrounded by optimist or pessimist people, are they inspiring or de-motivating. We have to keep a continuous check on the material that we read, our friends, our company and on our thinking. Actually positive thinking means accepting our self. Therefore we have to be honest enough to accept our faults and weakness and focus on improving our self from them.
Are there any special tips for positive thinking?
People have fear of rejection, they feel that others don’t like them and get rejected because of it. This is actually their negative thinking. If one really wants to attain success we have to change our attitude and thinking and we have to put efforts for the same. Like when we appearing for any interview we should first of all try to make a detailed R & D about the job profile, institution and how can I be useful for the institution. With this approach actually one can attain success and employer will feel the confidence and hard work from the spirit in the candidate’s eyes, leading to attain desirable job.
