not_looking Sacramento, CA age: 49 online now!	Lets talk about positive and negative thinking, both are contagious. All of us are affected in one way or another, when we meet other people. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through thoughts and feelings transference and through body language. People sense our aura and are affected by our thoughts. Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive for growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Maybe we should make this a core class, students have to pass in school. I would love to see some more of it around here. Your thoughts and views are greatly appreciated. Thank you, for your posts.

spacemanspiff London, ON age: 47	I happen to enjoy your posts. I agree that whatever works for you is a positive and requires faith. Be it faith in ones abilities to achieve ones goal or faith in a higher power for the same net result. Yes this like negative thinking can be contagious. I would be drawn more so to the positive as obviously it is much more enjoyable. Like the piece of chocolate I'm about to eat. Though it has its negative aspects.......It tastes positively yummy. I thank you.

theshadow_ Beaver, UT age: 38 online now!	The main thing that sticks out to me on this. in order to have an positive out look on things as you mention. Is action and with out that. you have nothing. it's like saying, you can pray like alot do for good things to happen, but if you don't get up off your a** and do somthing about it. You will never grow or go anyware in life.

If enough people dwell negitively even a titanic can sink, however, if enough think positive, even a Hiroshima can rebuild.

kinkygirlly Oceanside, CA age: 38	I have learned that through all the crazy stuff i have been thru in my life that being negative will get me nowhere in my life and it wont get me what i want by being negative. Being positive will get me everywhere and I can achieve whatever I so desire in this life and it makes others happier around me to feel positive energy.

christi284 Ogden, UT age: 19 online now!	I agree, I like your posts. They are interesting and thought-provoking and I hope they keep coming. I don't think I've enjoyed a forum so much. I think that thinking positively impacts your entire life. I also think that you really do have the ability to choose if that is how you are - it bothers me when people say, "this is just how I am." I want to say, "do you not have control over yourself? you choose who you will be." It's incredible how much just thinking in a peaceful, optimistic, and faithful way can give your life meaning. And by faith, I don't necessarily mean in a particular religion. I mean faith in a more basic way - just believing in something beyond yourself, believing in a goal, a purpose. In fact, anyone interested in this, I read a good book about this. Truly one of the best books I've ever read - and it's a true story that reads like a novel. It is one of the most meaningful books to me, and I couldn't put it down. It's called Mutant Message Down Under. It's a true story about aborigines in Australia, and this woman they essentially take with them against her will, and all she learns from their unique lifestyle. They live in a way we can't comprehend - no contention whatsoever, no worries, even though they live in a desert. They just have this faith in life, in the universe. And it's incredible- one man even breaks his leg, but he has such a powerful sense of purpose and faith, that he didn't really feel any pain - I konw that sounds cheesy, but I'm trying to keep this short. Really, read it if this interests you. It's pretty short, very interesting, and only like three dollars on Amazon. Postive thinking is something you choose, and it can define your entire life, purpose, and soul. I love this sort of discussion!

ezekio Inman, SC age: 24	Positive attitudes versus Negative attitudes are a state of mind based on a situation that your personality transcends on. A positive attitude can help you and others stay positive on the worse of situations. But a positive attitude and its affects on others can be used to warp the reality of a situation. A negative personality normaly is a reaction to a situation that brings pain or displeasure, just like a signal in your brain telling you something is wrong, your personality can be negative towards a situation. A negaitve pesonality or negative thoughts can help a society uprise against an opressive force, were a positive attitude may bring obediance. A negative attitude towards renewable resourses from big oil money has made exsisting technology un-obtainable. A dominate positive attitude also puts people in the situation to isolate themselves from strife and injustice. The simple duality of positive and negaitive are a dance needed to balance out each other. To bring focus, and a "grey area". Without the balance in positive or negitive we are left with absolutes and bi-polar thinking that everything is all or the other, maybe taking situations out of the equation.

indoubt Beaumont, CA age: 33 online now!	I think this is great. My daughters kindergarten teacher already teaches positive practices and the children are doing well. If one of my plans goes right and I hope it does I will be doing allot with-in the school system to make the children learn and do more positive activities. Which needs to be done. On our local news there was a boy who killed himself because of all of the teasing he endured at school. Apparently he took the gun to school and killed himself there. This happened today and before he did it students were throwing food at him at lunch. I bet those stupid kids feel bad now. Well at least I hope they do. I think if more positive aspects are taught in schools situations like this can be avoided.

nunbttr Middletown, OH age: 61	You can think positive all day every day, but when negative shit keeps happening to you, it starts to affect your phsyce. Pretty soon, you start cringing, when something happens, because you expect it to be a negative situation. I am the 'eternal optimist', but I am also a realist. Good things don't ALWAYS happen to people who think positive. If you tried your best, and the outcome was less than desireable, (does that 'e' belong in there?) you still know, in your heart, know matter what anyone else thinks, that you gave it the best shot you knew how. And when the next opportunity comes knockin', you know you're goin' after it again. Hell, sometimes I'm just 'positive' that Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive for growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. A positive mind anticipates these things, until it encounters numerous situations where the outcome was not so successful, despite your best efforts. Just because the anticipation is there, doesn't mean it will become a reality. That's called living in a dream world. That doesn't mean you give up. It simply is what it is. Let it go, and try again, another time. Not trying to sound negative, JMO. eg: Is my glass half full, or half empty? It depends on how thirsty I am, when I'm looking at it!

g_d77 Watertown, NY age: 31	So, just because you think positive thinking is great, everyone must agree with your train of thought? You're basically talking about brainwashing children into thinking everything is "hunky dory" with the world. Sorry to say, but the real world is a mean place, and it will always be that way. The faster you accept it, the easier life is. Yes, there are happy times, but not all the time.
