Positive thoughts have a tremendous positive influence in our daily life. On the whole, thoughts have pretty strong power, although a lot of people do not believe that. They think that thoughts do not have bigger power than dusts that fly around. However, thoughts can change your life from inside out. This is due to the fact that we first think and only then act. Whenever you start developing likes towards some thoughts you also start accepting them as yours and when you accept them as yours, the thoughts develop your way of thinking, speaking and behavior.

So, if you want to change yourself, just change your thoughts. I understand that is very easy to say the thing and pretty difficult to do it. Therefore, one cannot neglect importance of positive thinking in his daily life. Since thoughts direct your life, you would want them to take a positive direction. You can begin doing that by watching your thoughts daily. Simply try to see what thoughts turn around in your mind most. See if they are more positive or negative. This is a psychological diagnostic stage where you have to see whether you are a pessimist or an optimist. If you see that negative thoughts dominate in your mind you have to start cleaning process.

Cleaning of your mind is simply replacing of negative thoughts with positive thoughts. From my experience I can say that it is difficult to do in the beginning. We are just used to think negatively because we live in the world which is full of negative mentality. We will only see progress in the field if we learn how to monitor our reactions to various negative things in life. Naturally, if something negative or bad happens, we get nervous, irritated, angry or depressed. Do we have to react in this way? No, of course, not! It is our deliberate choice to be overwhelmed by negative thoughts or allow positive thoughts to rule us.

We have a free will and we can choose which thoughts to keep in our minds and which to remove. It does not mean we can prevent bad thoughts from coming in the same way as we cannot prevent birds from flying over our heads. However, we can refuse to allow them to make nests on our heads. In terms of thoughts, allow only positive thoughts to ‘make a nest in your mind’. Your personality, feelings, lifestyle, quality of work, relationships, leisure time and many more will positively change. If those thoughts stay in your head for long enough, you will become a completely different person. People wonder when they see somebody change for better or for worse. They do not understand how this happens. A person who experiences a change simply changes his thoughts. Nothing else!

I hope you see how important a positive attitude to life is. Most people seek for it in the wrong direction. I believe the Holy Bible is one of the places where we can find it. I recommend visiting the following pages for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible, http://www.biblegateway.com/, http://www.bible.com/ and http://bible-verse-of-the-day-blog.blogspot.com/. I hope you will find a lot of inspiration in these resources.
