For being in a third- world country like the Philippines, where almost in every surrounding shows the image of poverty, it is hard sometimes to be “being positive in everything.”

But I learned to train my mind to choose, what to think. Being positive is a command to the mind. We have been given the power to choose what to think, we have the free will and the freedom.

One way to train the mind to become positive thinker is to think and remember all the good things happened to us and dwell in them and let it linger for a while within us. When we think of the good things, it produces positive feelings like “JOY” and “HAPPINESS”.

Another thing is to be thankful in everything. Feeling of “GRATITUDE” is a positive feeling that brings more events and situations that cause us to be thankful. So, be thankful in everything and not for everything. In everything means, always find a reason to be thankful in whatever situations we face. We may not be happy and thankful for the things happening to us but we could be thankful in spite of that because we know that there is always “A silver lining beyond a dark cloud”, as the saying goes.

I am still learning, to become a Positive thinker, listening to positive people is another way to train the mind. What we listen to in constant manner, will saturate our mind. Then the mind will dictate what we feel. Then what we feel will dictate, what will happen to us. Someone says, “ when you were there in the mind, you’ll be there in the body.” (This quotation came from a Psychologist who were interviewed in the movie, “The Secret”. If you haven’t watch it yet, I recommend it to those who believe in the Law of Attraction…I have learned a lot in this movie.)

Lastly, do not dwell on the past, but let it go! Instead, think on the Future ()

but do not worry about it. What you would want to be, what you would want to have, as if you already have it. Here comes the Power of Imagination. This is a gift for us, human beings.( I don’t know if the Animal kingdom has the power to imagine. ) But to us, it is free to imagine or visualize and it is limitless. Therefore, let us filter our imagination; let us imagine Positive things to happen. Let it become a habit and lifestyle to be “Being Positive in Everything.”
