The Reflection!

When was the last time you succeeded in finding something positive and enjoying it, in an otherwise grim situation? (Pls try to recollect sincerely before reading ahead) If you remember the occasion, then please bring it to the fore of your mind, recollect it properly and just try to go through (and feel) the entire episode again. You will almost surely feel happy about yourself and the way you reacted to the situation. You may even feel a bit surprised at yourself as to how were you even able to think in that manner at that time in that situation in the way you did! It brings a smile to your face, doesn't it?

Well, you just recollected the art of thinking positively, didn't you? It is said that Experience is the greatest teacher. And what you just did was learn (or rather, remember) a lesson from that teacher! You just said it (or rather, proved it) to yourself that the world as you perceive around yourself is nothing but a Reflection of your own state of mind! The thoughts that cross your mind and the emotions that you go through under any circumstances are all a resultant of the amount of positivity inside you!

Consider yourself and your thoughts as magnets! Let the positively charged thoughts be the north pole of the thought magnet and the negatively charged thoughts be the south pole of the thought magnet. So, what kind of a magnet will you choose to be, what kind of polarity will you be having? Will you be the north pole that attracts the positively charged thoughts towards itself or will you be the south pole that attracts negatively charged thoughts towards itself. The kind of polarity that you choose will not only be impacting your own self and your reactions but also the people around you and your environment.

If you radiate positive thinking and optimism into your surroundings, you will get a similar response from the people around you and then eventually, even the most seemingly complex problems, the most horrible situations will get solved gracefully! Whenever a person is in deep trouble, he always yearns to hear something that may sound even trivially positive so that he can muster up some courage, garner some confidence to face the situation. And if you are the one to provide that moral support, just imagine the kind of liking and respect that you will be commanding from the people around you!


A few words of courage bear the same effect as that of the light from a match stick in a dark room, they fill the heart with bright happiness!!! After all, even the best of the sailors need guidance from the light of the pole star in the darkest of situations! So, be that star for the people around you and experience the change in The Reflection.....
