“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains” by Anne Frank. 

There is a lot of misery in the world. We know that. However, the knowledge of that and stating the fact that evil and misery exist does nothing to remove those things from the world or even to reduce the amount of them. If you concentrate on the misery, you will only increase it for by concentrating on something you give power to it to grow and increase. It takes something else to remove misery from life. What is it?

You have to concentrate on the good. Really? Yes. You cannot destroy darkness by concentrating on it. You cannot remove it by being angry at it. You remove it by turning on the light. Light has power to cast away darkness. In the same manner beauty and good destroys evil and misery. You give power to good, beauty and other good thing in life by meditating on them and you welcome them to your life by constantly thinking about them. This also dispels all misery and evil from your life. So, give yourself to positive thoughts.

Thought for the day 22nd of April 2011

“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows will fall behind you” Maori proverb. 

I don’t know if you have noticed, but people tend to see things that they expect to see. A person who is full of negativity always sees something negative around him/her and a positive person will always see something positive. I talked with an acquaintance of mine recently and the lady told how she went to the hospital and how bad the service was. In fact, I have heard a lot of things like that from her. Whenever she goes for some kind of service, there are always people who are bad, indifferent, providing absolutely bad service.

Whenever I go to various places I occasionally find bad service, but recently I have seen better and better service and people were nicer and nicer. When I talk to this acquaintance of mine she is full of negativity about everything. She thinks that she has to change the living place for her life to become happier. I told her that she has to change her thoughts and attitude, but she did not believe me. Therefore, I believe she attracts the very negativity to her life that she is herself full of. 

Stop concentrating on the bad stuff. Everybody knows that there is a lot of evil in the world. You will not destroy it by criticizing it. No way! Don’t fight evil. Do good and you will win against it. Why do people always remember bad things and so seldom good things? It is a fact about most of us. But why? Because we concentrate on the bad part more. We think about it. We complain about it. And we get what we expect. Start searching for good, start noticing good things, start talking about good things. The shadows will definitely fall behind you.
