THOUGHTS: THEY SPOIL YOU OR MAKE YOU!


   Experience has taught me one thing:THINK POSITIVE!! After all the things our mind makes us do or not do, people still do not understand it's power. Almost all people are controlled by their mind.But what should actually be the natural course is that we should control our mind!
   After all its our mind, isn't it?? If we cant control our own thoughts who can!
This poem by Walter D Wintle explains clearly what I am trying to convey:

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

THINKING
-WALTER D WINTLE


You might be thinking why this sudden thought or inspiration to write about power of thoughts!!
Because I realized that I was allowing my mind to do lot of things on its own.I was actually spoiling it all this time...
I had my exams...so i had to study! But my mind told me its bored and doesn't want to study... so i ignored my books....!!
I had to do my daily quota of jogging but my mind told me I am tired... so I ignored my jogging shoes....!!
Then one fine day my mother told me this... you listened to your mind all this time... now make it listen to you!!
I tried it and it worked... IN EVERY CASE!!
Its difficult really... it seems easier to just keep listening to your mind...like an employee prefers doing only those things that his boss tells him to do... no action or creativity on his part...just so that he is free from the responsibility!!
But in doing this we loose the essence of us being human !
(not the Salman Khan Foundation :P)
So I thought, I am not bored and I would very well enjoy studying and I actually studied!!
Then I thought, I am not tired I can jog for miles and still not be tired... and I actually did not feel tired anymore....
I have one small experiment:
One day,when your mother leaves for work tell her, "Oh Mom, you look so fresh and beautiful. Seems you slept like a baby last night." Your Mom will hold this positive thought the whole day and when she returns home in the evening she will actually be fresh and glowing!!
After some days, while she is leaving tell her, "Mom, you look so tired! You are having dark circles! Didn't you sleep properly??"
She will carry this negative thought with her and by the end of the day she will be all haggard and irritated!!
Controlling your mind can be difficult, but once you do control it life will be very much simpler...
You will be able to do the most difficult or seemingly impossible tasks with ease! And all just because you believe you can!
Seems impossible?? Well think about it you have actually done it..
When you caught a train which had already picked up speed...When you successfully rode a bike for the first time....When you first started walking...you actually made your mind work for you when you were a baby!!! And then you grew up and you forgot!!

But better late then never... I have taken those baby steps towards making my mind work for me!!
Like I made this blog!! :)
