"A man is but a product of his thoughts, what he thinks that he becomes." - Mahatma Gandhi.
I am not sure how many of you would go with the ideologies that this man put forward. But guys, let us all accept. This man had the power. He had a convincing tongue. People bought every view of his without speculations.
So now, a genuinely great human being that he was The Mahatma aptly describes the importance of thinking in this one-liner of his - not just thinking - but the way we think, the thoughts that come to our mind - whether they are positive or negative.
Well, the interpretation of the quote is as simple as - when you think positive you become an optimist whereas when you think negative you become a pessimist. - but lets have it here as honestly as possible....
"HOW MANY OF US REALLY CONCENTRATE ON THE PROCESS OF THINKING? HOW MANY OF US REALLY REALISE THAT THIS IS A NEGATIVE THOUGHT AND WE NEED TO SHOO THIS THOUGHT AWAY RIGHT NOW?" (Answers as well as Views are welcome).
I bet not many of us. And mind you, those few of us who do are the people who actually become what they want to.
Now why dont we realise a negative thought as soon as it raises its head? That is becoz we let our thoughts control us which ideally should be vice versa.
Hence at a point in life all of us need to really think about where all this negativity is leading us, whether this was the place where we always wanted to be, whether this was our forseen destination? If the answer is NO, why the hell did we get here?????
Come on guys, pen down ur thoughts like I did...What do you ppl feel about this thought?
I am of an opinion that although the thought process we share or the likes and dislikes we have are different - there's something that's COMMON to all of us and that's LIVING; the core of LIFE. Living in essence doesn't just contribute INHALING and EXHALING. The deepest synonym of LIVING is SURVIVING and as the Darwin theory goes - World's all about SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST and to live a fit surviving life the vital thing is having fit, healthy and positive thoughts. Isn't it?

how would yu get to know....as to which thought is indeed negative...or positive.....?
sometimes the line between negativity nd positivity is very very fine...
nd yu need to seriously reason with urself....abt why a thought is actually positive or the other way round.
so....for that to happen....yu need to give some time....even to some negative thoughts....nd let them raise their heads.....
nd only then will yu realise....the degree of negativeness or positiveness of a thought.
ever heard the term "NECESSARY EVIL" ??
Hey akhil, thanks for sharing your views with us.
Well, like always you've got a point here. I've heard of the term you are referring to and no doubt evils are necessary to start crawling so that we can throw them out. But then we sure need to draw a line, indeed a very thick one, when we are to decide the time we need to throw them out. Coz evils have this uncanny way of crawling slowly for a while and then suddenly before we know they spread out like flames within us. And then they are dangerous.
So I believe one should try thinking negative but to a certain limit. What say?
hey....dont get me wrong.....
i never said that yu(anyone for that matter) shud think negative.
The catch is that until you think abt something... yu may never find out whether it is negative or positive.
People do not have any automatic filter in their brains, that screens out negative thoughts.
There is a thought at first. You then, ponder over it and finally come to the conclusion that it is indeed negative.
So nothing is positive or negative, unless you have pondered over it for sufficient time.
yup....I do agree..and thats the point of all that I said..Pondering over a negative thought is fine when u know ur limits..Once u cross them negatives start dominating your thought process and thats in turn hazardous..Well, thats y i said..Think over a negative thought till you realise about it...Once you do throw it away like it never existed....What say?
