(1corintians 15:33) warns about the negative power of bad associates. But negative thinking isn't always bad. The power of negative thinking is beautifully and profoundly pictured in the words of the returning Prodigal to his father: ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no more worthy to be called your son.’ That is about as negative as a person can get. And such self-awareness and consciousness of failure is the gateway to power. Humility is the first step in learning.
I enjoyed your presentation; I do have negative thoughts but have tried to practice not to dwell on the issue beyond what I consider a reasonable amount of time.
The things that we do not wish to create are created because verily we are not the creator. God is.
Though I do agree that surrounding yourself with positivity doesn't hurt.
As for dreaming dreams and aspiring to attain them....well I've just had so many negative thoughts that I really don't have anything left but nightmares. Be mighty glad though if they don't come to fruition.
What if your one thought is the constant fear that the world's population will continue to increase, and that the quality of life for everyone on this planet is steadily decreasing to the point where there be not a breath of fresh air, a drink of clean water without reverse osmosis, or a moment of silent beauty? What happens then if you know that the best of the world is dying in front of your eyes? Drill baby drill.
You know I'm just trying to put the negative thoughts out of my mind but unfortunately I don't see anything except weeds and parking lots. Damn nice sunset through the smog though...Sometimes it is not good to be too positive. Especially if it is for your own selfish interests at the expense of future generations. If a murder is going on should you get married? If overpopulation is the world's greatest problem should you have kids? But hey, think positive. Even if reality isn't.
Very good presentation. I call it practicing 'positive self-talk'. But perhaps you might want to add-on a simple statement what actually 'negativity' is, how to define it being negative versus being positive? You see I have a university career on my back and I can assure you that in no field of life other than academia, there are so many negative people around. And why? They think that being critical and awake means to be normal, while they are simply, most of them, negative thinkers.
