Developing A Positive Mentality
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he
This is a statement lifted from the Holy Book, and the truth in it is indisputable. Most times, what happens to someone is a direct result of what they have thought in their heart. Here is how it happens. When someone think about a particular thing for long, it will become their predominant thought and when that happens, their choice of actions will be tailored towards that particular line of thought. You see the link? When actions are carried out based on the thought, then the results will follow. So it is right to infer that results are first birthed in the mind.
Since you are now aware that the type of thought you have will directly determine your actions, you should focus on positive thoughts because this is what you need to have a positive mindset and with a positive mindset, positive actions will not be difficult to undertake and they will ultimately bring positive result.
Everyone has a freewill delivered to them and that includes the freewill to create their own thoughts. However, it is worthy to note that you may have a choice of your thoughts and of course, your actions, but when the actions go forth, you may not have choice of what the results will be. If what you earnestly desire is a positive result then it is in your own interest to develop a positive mentality that will lead to the positive actions that will create a positive result. The way to develop a positive mindset is by aligning your mind to think positively.
Thinking positively does not mean an absence of negative occurrence in the environment. Even in the midst of the darkness in the world, you can choose to remain positive in your thoughts if you want to. Your thoughts should be able to point you to the light in the darkness and not to introduce you to more darkness.
You cannot underestimate the ability of the mind to create things. The only thing we can do is to point our minds to the right direction and you will be surprised at the thoughts it can conceive. The mind's thought, just like a seed that is planted, will produce after their own type. Keep this particular verse at the back of your mind, as culled from the Holy Scriptures:
You reap what you sow
Yes, if you sow the thoughts that are positively inclined, you will reap mindset is also positively inclined. If you sow the same kind of positive mindset, what you will reap will not be short of positive actions. Just to let you know that there are many things that do not happen by chance nor by coincidence but by the actions (arising from your thoughts) that you perform.
As a good farmer is responsible for the welfare of their farm - the crops they plant, the nurturing, etc, you should also be responsible for what goes on in your mind. Note this fact: what goes on inside you (which is your mind) is a direct determinant of what happens around you.

Hello @samminator!
Thoughts must be aligned with the heart, so we will work for what we really want. Something very important is what you present to us " Your thoughts must be able to point you to the light in the darkness and not introduce you into more darkness". We must not let negative thoughts stop us from moving forward and dominate us, despite the circumstances. Keeping positive thoughts will also help us stay healthy. Good post, greetings!
Successful and great men was able to achieve their greatness because they were able to have a positive mindset and mentality. It takes a long to be able to be sustained but we must pursue to have great and positive mentality
Exactly, the difference between achieving success and not is in the fact that successful people have positive mindset.
Thanks for the comment buddy
We can't escape the fact that most times the situation around us will wna to force us to think negatively, but we must stand true and continue to think positively
That's right. We should always take a stand to be positive even in the midst of negativity. Thanks a lot
Hello friend, I think that if you can develop a positive mentality, there are people who are very negative, but with effort they can change their attitude towards a more positive mentality.
Greetings and thank you for your contribution.

Hello, @samminator it's been some time since I read a post from you and I guess I missed the previous one that's why I will leave it for tomorrow's morning so I can read something good and start my day in style.
Our thoughts always control our actions, and as you mentioned even in the middle of the darkness we can still be positive, even though sometimes hard life events make the strongest one fall for the negativity, everyone has a weakness, sometimes it's not about them it's about the people around them and they can't just control it. Otherways staying positive when life goes rough is really essential.
Being positive is for sure important. There will be always things and people who want us to be negative. Especially very negative ones. Sometimes we have to fight to stay positive to have the best things in our lives.
Very well said, as a man thinks so he is our thinking define us having positive thoughts will is good it sharpens our behavior.
