Do you believe in the power of positivity? I do

I have always felt that positive thinking during uncertainty in life is like lighting a lamp in the darkness. It’s like a cure to the cancerous depression and frustration. If you can calm the storm inside your heart and brain with a positive thought there is nothing like it. I think more clearly when I am calm and when I keep my mouth shut, Sshhh I do enjoy the occasional outburst of emotions though.

At times our life can be as messed up as a festival ground after all the festivities and negative thoughts are the ill-mannered visitors who leave the mess behind. What we need to clean the mess is positive thoughts, you don’t have to be an inspirational speaker to initiate a positive thought. All you have to do is to believe in yourself, believe in the power of universe, think about all the possibilities of life. I strongly feel that everyone should be a believer of something or the other, that’s what keeps us going.

Now positive thoughts come naturally to a crazily optimistic person like me, although at times nature takes its own sweet time, and that’s when I decide to help myself (negativity is suffocating, so can’t wait much longer, have to help myself). I go ahead and cry out loud, it’s the most effective pain healer, not for the faint-hearted , :D. Ok reading, it can be anything from bible to a comic book, an inspirational author to a comedian, a study material to a piece of paper. Now I am more relieved, I heard someone say music can cure diseases, why not try that. I am more lighthearted now, why not watch a good movie, although I am a Hollywood fan, during my mourning period I usually prefer a heartful Malayalam movie, choice is yours, nothing can beat Tom & Jerry. Now you are in control of your emotions, best time to consult your friend or family, oh yeah, wait till they tell you what to do.

By the end of the day, I am sure there will be one or more thoughts that have caught your attention, it can be a dialogue by the hero of the movie (in my case the villain) or it can be a copy pasted message from your friend, but it sure has some meaning to you, now that’s your positive thought, the one that has already started enlightening you. (You know sometimes a billboard, an ad, even thinking about the scenario which gave you the messed-up feeling can give you positive thoughts if you are ready to receive it).

One of my favorites Hotel California by Eagle has this line, “we are all just prisoners here, of our own devices”, if you think about it the lyricist is saying we are not trapped by anyone else than us, we are imprisoned by our own ways. Let’s break the chain with the strength of positive thoughts and give ourselves the freedom we deserve.
