Always Prepare For A Battle

Always prepare for battle because we are not certain how long situation would last and how things would eventually turn out, it is better to be prepared for all eventualities in adverse circumstances. The longer the time frame we work out the better, because such an approach prepares us mentally to preserve till the end. It also saves us from the trouble of losing hope or getting frustrated. In life each action lead to one or more remedial actions. We really do not know things would eventually turn out. It is therefore better to prepare ourselves mentally to face the situation for longer periods of time. People normally become emotional and subjective when things are not going well. It is indeed difficult to be rationale and objective when there is trouble all around. But the truth is emotions make matters worse. They complicate the situation and make the problems difficult to solve. Therefore it is very important that we keep our cool and learn to think objectively in the midst...

Learn From The Past

Adversity comes into our lives because somewhere in our lives we open a door for it. It maybe because of some flaw in our character, thinking or attitude. It is therefore very important to analyse our thoughts and actions to understand what in us attracted this situation in the first place. A careful analysis of our immediate past can bring to light the real causes that precipitated the present adversity. It would help an individual to understand the role he played in precipitating the tragedy and what actions he should have done or not done to prevent it from happening. Was it because he was careless, ruthless, over confident, unprepared, or was it because he trusted an untrustworthy person? A careful analysis of one's past is therefore very crucial to understand the causes that brought about the adversity in the first place. In adversity it is normal for people to think about the past in an emotional way or prejudiced way. It is also normal on their part to try to forget abo...

Passion

Passion is the intense emotional drive or excitement. It often gives individuals a deep want or craving for something that causes a person to do something or act in a certain way, which happens to be the definition of motive. The word ‘motive’ is used in the definition of ‘motivation’, which is to provide with, or affect as, a motive or motives. Not only does passion serve as an extremely strong emotion, but passion is strongly linked to motivation, as well. Spirituality promotes passion. One of the main aspects of positive thinking is having a strong sense of spirituality, which is often seen through religion. Religion is a vehicle to allow one to find a bigger meaning in life. If one has a “passion” for religion, the other aspects of positive thinking (e.g. having one’s internal cognition aimed to one’s purpose and having the three vital relationships) are not far behind. Religion often serves as an intrinsic motivation tool within itself, which leads one into positive thinking.

Positive Self-Talk

By repeating positive self-phrases one is reaffirming positive phrases to oneself everyday. The following are some of such phrases :- - I never allow other human being to make me feel less of me, because I'm OK and I love me, and I get what I want because I deserve it. - I am powerful because I have a purpose. - I have a magnificent obsession. - I am committed to excellence. Whether the following self-talk phrases are true at the time one is saying the phrases aren't important, because those thoughts begin to become a vital aspect of one's internal cognition, which is the important aspect. Positive self-talk phrases begin to motivate individuals by one's internal cognition constantly and continually being forced to think about one's purpose. The constant flow of positive phrases will hopefully soon penetrate into mainstream flow of thought in one's internal cognition, leading one to have one's purpose at the forefront of one's mind.

Faith

Positive thinking is based in a spiritual foundation. Positive thinkers have faith in the way the world works, and also have faith that everything in life happens for a reason. Positive thinkers know they have a purpose and meaning on Earth, and they were put on Earth for a purpose. Positive thinkers know there is opportunity in every situation because there is purpose for every situation, which will help them get closer to their larger purpose in life. Faith is defined as having confidence, trust, and a belief in a phenomenon without empirical evidence. In that context, a positive thinker has trust in nature, the ticking of world, or one's God, and they have been given a purpose that will help them achieve that purpose throughout life, without actually physically seeing evidence. Spirituality is "the subjective experience of something sacred, numinous, or greater than self." The main aspect of internal cognition in positive thinking is having a purpose that is larger ...
