In a world that seemed to be swallowed by worries, vices, confusion and the likes, can it be possible to still be positive? If you have travelled on this train of thought or maybe concern, then I think you're already on point towards the alignment you need.

Over time, we tend to become subconsciously empowered, of course negatively by the world's trends and the seemingly prevalent situations within it. Social media has also played its significant role in the empowering of our minds through the daily suggestions it brings before our face about the happenings in the world. I do not need to mention that what we find on the media and news platforms do not project negativity beyond the positive ordeals on the opposing side. So once again the question comes to mind, can one still be positive in a world where everything seems negative?

I would love to answer that question with a simple resounding yes, but then how much would that contribute to the reorientation of a mind that has this question brimming constantly in his or her head. The power of positivity is one credential you can certainly accrue to the lives of people successful in this world where negativity seems prevalent. Only through positive thinking and positive actions can one achieve positive results. Here, like and unlike poles do not attract, rather you attract the results to which your mind's orientation is likened to.

Let the situation within, around and far from you, yet within your reach not define the settings of your mind and its position.

The mind then is the battlefield for this raging war of negativity and positivity. It is from this that the power of positivity comes. When the mind is conquered, the body is conquered and the expected results are achieved.

So, a negative mind will only produce negative results likewise a positive mind will produce positive results. There are no twists to this equation of the mind, you are either adding the positive possibilities and subtracting the negative or adding the negative possibilities and subtracting the positive.

How then can one cultivate a positive mind?
The power of positivity is a reflection of the state of a person's mind, and also a dependent factor of the mind. This means one can only be positive as long as the mind is positive.

Outlined below are some practical ways I have learned to spur and win the mind into positive thinking and actions.

  • First, know that the mind is the basis for every result you wish for. Yes, it is!
  • Then, positive affirmations, and not just affirmations but believe in oneself about those affirmations. One can get some notable positive quotes, maybe paste them somewhere in their room, and say them every day reassuringly.
  • Also, the deliberate safeguard of the mind against the negative happenings and news flying around. Some persons tend to be so focused towards negative stories and yet very loose with their minds around such. Best advice, keep away from such news.
  • Focus on the positive. Even when the negative occurs or tends to find its way around, (this is due to the fact that you cannot run from the negative because we live in a world where it readily shows up its face) try to make up something positive about it and keep the positive energy going rather than give in. Here then the power of positivity shall prevail.
  • Be purposefully busy and doing something. Negativity thrives in idleness I assure you. So find something you love, something to earn from and be fixated on it. This will help eliminate the negative thoughts that might creep in as a result of idleness.
  • Find someone to help become positive about life and about themselves too. Something I have learned is that you become better at a thing as you teach and relate it to others.

I hope this has been an insightful journey. I wish to drop this with this quote ; "you are responsible for your happiness not the world nor its happenings around you."

The power of the mind!
I recently listened to a podcast by a friend of mine, they made allot of emphasis about the power of the mind. Everything is possible if the mind agrees and works without retreating to achieve those goals..
P.S: Visit few persons post in the community and engage on them. Leave them pleasant comments of what you think about their posts bro. When you are done let me know bro..

Thank you very much.
Alright I will do just that
