Appreciation and positive thinking


If you were to look up the word APPRECIATION, you will find the fallowing definition:   gratitude; thankful recognition:  the act of estimating the qualities of things and giving them their proper value.

While trying to break down the code of positive thinking I have found a strong connection between failure in the positive thinking culture and the lack of appreciation.

while striving for a better and more meaningful life, most of us will come banging against a wall again and again, the frustration will grow as we find ourselves standing against the same obstacle. While most of my other articles illustrate many aspects of the positive thinking concept, I have not yet told you this: you must count your blessings and remember them while striving to move forward.

Part of the paten of a negative mind, is to forget the good that it has. As we consider and wonder about the power of positive thinking we fail to remember the power of negative thinking, even though the evidence of it is all around us. Can the power of negativity be equal to that of positivity? Oh dear... could that mean that the devil in whatever form really does exist?

Whatever the answer to the above question might be, negative power is far more dominant in our world than the positive one, but do not worry for WE HAVE THE POWER of free choice...      Lets break this down a bit; ‘the power of’  

How does something gain power over something else? How can negativity gain power over your mind? Energy is the answer, anyone who ever gained power be it financial or social or political, gained that power from others. By making others want or need what they can give, be it a product a service or a state of mind. And so does our mind... it is able to take power from you and act on your behalf.... you must take that power back! You must become more aware of what you mind does with the power you give it.       

The negative mind does not estimate qualities and gives them proper value, it does quite the opposite, and I will put an emphasize on the words ‘proper value’, for even though some things may not be a hundred precent good for us, they might be ok for the time being, there for whatever the situation might be, if we give it the proper value and do the best we can, sooner or later we will move forward.

Energy is all we and whatever is around us are made of, there for what we create is energy which is manifested into the fruit of our work. The mind, as the driver of the whole game, decides in what direction your personal energy will be diverted too. As humanity is moving forward and leaving the dark ages behind, a higher consciousness is reviled and become aware of its power over the mind.  . Thais fact needs to be appreciated; this fact needs to be celebrated! Choose to be positive in your every action.
