Thinking I am not Negative is not enough
There is a correlation between ‘What we Hear’ and ‘What we Say’.
Many of us know negative thinking and any negative environment are not good. But we do not realize, how much of negative thoughts our mind has consumed already and how those thoughts are accepted by our belief system, hence reflecting in our daily life!
It is hard to find out, I agree. Sitting on a closed-door room, you cannot imagine how beautiful is the outer world unless you come out of that room.
You think, you are very positive and what we are discussing here is not true? I wouldn’t blame you; it is natural. Let me prove you with an example.
Many of us know that 60 is the age for retirement (at least in India. Some companies have extended that to 65 years). This number sixty has stored in our mind in such a way, we all try to plan our retirement from 30’s. We get married early, then a house, a car etc. If someone doesn’t achieve it within 40’s, becomes tensed and terribly worried for his future days. There are enormous discussions happen at family level to corner that person as he hasn’t achieved them all within time and he is also being compared with other folks in the family who is settled already. That person becomes so thrilled, he tends to avoid taking new risk after 40’s and maintain a traditional life. He scares to take more challenges in job or business, scares to apply for an abroad venture, scares to buy a house or go for a higher study etc. However, doing something different isn’t the solution of his problem?
But, that number 60 continuously chases his mind and discharges all his positive energies to do something new and innovative.
There are many examples where people have married at the later age and gave birth of a baby successfully. There are examples where people have reached at the peak of their career after 60’s and earned millions after retiring from a regular job. There are examples that someone who have never thought of his age and just focused on his duties (Karmayogi as per Vedas), survived more than 100 years! There are many such examples!
Then why we are so worried about 60?
It is hard to throw our negative believes and understanding because we can’t recognize them.
Just hearing from some motivational speakers in TV channels, social media, corporate trainings and continue to do what we are doing, is not the solution to our problem. We need to evaluate our thinking process rationally every time without believing our contemporary thoughts blindly.
It is not possible to comprehend the subtle problems of life unless our thought is tranquil and our energy is concentrated. Until our mind is withdrawn from varied distractions, we cannot enter into the spirit of higher success! Hence, all we can do, is to learn from the books, mentors and most importantly from our life experiences. Nature teaches us more lessons than any school or college.
