E is for Entertain Good Thoughts
Dear
Diary,
For E
I recommend: Entertain Good Thoughts.
I
often wonder if our brain is wired in such a way that we lean more to the
negative side than the positive side. Psychologists will disagree with me but
it’s a thought that keeps recurring.
Good
thoughts are as necessary as oxygen in our lives. Pointing somebody’s faults, criticizing
others is easy but we should always remember what Nick’s father told him in The
Great Gatsby ‘Not everyone has the same advantage that you have.’
Be
positive about life, if something does not go your way say “Everything happens
for a reason” If times are tough remind yourself “This too shall pass” and when
you feel that you have reached rock bottom and you have nowhere to go say to
yourself “His failure is not failure, whom God leads on.”
Try It
today and every single day till it becomes a habit. If someone’s negative
thoughts are disturbing you, pass on your good thoughts to them and see the
change that slowly comes about.

Completely support your view here. Good thoughts make the world a much nicer place.
ReplyDeleteThank You!
DeleteOh I absolutely agree! Seems like we're both talking about 'oxygen' today! :)
ReplyDelete=D Indeed!!
DeleteFunny that this post comes today. This week, I've found myself saying a prayer for two people I do not like. Positive thoughts for a speedy recovery or that they find peace. It's almost therapeutic.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful!
DeleteI don't really think of myself as a negative person, and yet I do often have pessimistic thought processes, particularly when it comes to politics and things like that. But I think in my day to day life I'm a fairly upbeat person. Even if I am an introvert and so need a lot of alone time!!
ReplyDeleteWe all have that occasionally pessimistic thought and that's when we need to entertain good thoughts!
DeleteThe older I get the more I hear myself (as well as my wife) saying "Everything happens for reasons"....because we truly mean it and believe it.
ReplyDeleteA more positive attitude can help combat the perils of this crazy world.
I say it to myself every single day.
DeleteSo true. Maintaining good thoughts is vital to getting what we want and where we want to go in life.
ReplyDeleteVery well put Nana!
DeleteRemember that song...
ReplyDeleteI am Promise
I am a Possibility
I am a Promise, Promise
With a capital P...
Positivity is the way to go. I think it more social than mental leaning towards negativity. It gets so much focus these days, it's sad.
I agree, it's more of a social leaning. Thanks for reminding me of the song!!
DeleteBeing positive is so important and sometimes it's hard, but it can really be a blessing.

I second that!
DeleteAll for positive thinking (entertaining good thoughts), but no matter how hard we try, that negative one keeps pushing to the forefront.
ReplyDeleteDropping by on the A to Z. :)
True but nothing is impossible if we try!
DeleteI agree with your thought that we might tend toward the negative, we are so easily defeated. We need to learn to be more flexible in life, to take what each day brings and know that if today is not a great one, tomorrow will be better. I might allow myself a brief interlude of self-pity, but I refuse to be defeated for long!
