The one important thing that people have to understand about positive thinking is that it is not the art of ignoring all the things that are unpleasant for you. But it is the art of approaching the unpleasant things that happen in your life with the best attitude. That is where positive thinking put a grab upon you. There are still people who pick sides by answering the question that is very old. The question goes like this, and a monk asked his followers, is your glass half-empty or half-full? People reacted, stating that both were the same. But the monk nodded with a No. Do you know why?

Positive thinking and talking with yourself

Coming back to the old question. The monk nodded his head with a NO because though both the answers express the same situation logically. There is a difference in the approach. In one answer where people say the glass is half-empty, it shows a pessimistic attitude. While on the other end, where people say that the glass is half-full. It shows a positive attitude. Thus, the monk tries to conclude that situations might be the same for people, but the approach decides the solution for the problematic situation. According to Manvir Singh UK who is a spiritual person helping people by providing them enlightenment, strongly believes that every person in this world faces problems there is not a single human being that is surviving on this planet without a problem. The problem of the first man might seem smaller when compared to the problem of another man and vice versa. But positivity provides the courage and heart to fight for the problem and win a solution.

Why is talking with yourself important?

There is a common belief that someone who talks to himself is stupid. But that is not true. Someone who talks with himself is a genius. You came into this world with no one and will leave behind the world with no one. Thus, the only person that continuously stays with yourself is you. When we ask people about their daily conversations, we will get so many replies that they had a conversation today with their mom, dad, friends, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend and even their enemies. But nobody has ever said that. They talk to themselves. This is the beginning where a positive attitude will be sown.

When you are able to encourage someone else, when you are able to comfort someone else, when you are able to take care of someone else, then you can take care, comfort, push and encourage yourself. Self-motivation comes nowhere out of the blue, but it is something that comes within. Famous sayings of Manvir Singh Khalsa indicates that you will see a tough situation where you might not know which path to take. Spend some time, take a deep breath and talk to yourself, and you will find the answer. That is positivity.

Negative thinking can spoil your life.

The one thing that most of the people say is that negative thinking can spoil your life. But how can it do? The answer is that one negative thought has enormous power to spoil your entire day. How much ever positive you were when you woke up, and you decided to make it a productive day. But a single negative thought has the capacity to spoil your entire day. So, if this single negative thought haunts you for all the remaining days, you can never be happy. All that you will do is waste your time and each day.
