Positive thinking and acting is never about ''you'' only. It profoundly affects the people you directly influence, and changes the world around you.
Human beings are the only species on Earth whose inner lives are so powerful that what we think about a situation, how we describe it to ourselves, what meaning we attribute to it or draw from it, matters more than the event itself.
And who is doing the thinking, describing and attributing of meaning?
You are. :smile:
When you think laterally, you create positive change.
When you resolve conflicts, you create positive change.
When you look for the best in other people, you create positive change.
When you bite back an ugly remark, you create positive change.
When you uphold peace an any small way, you create positive change.
When you stand up for social justice, you create positive change.
When you see your desire for happiness reflected in other people's lives and act more compassionately, you create positive change.
When you appreciate and rejoice in difference, you create positive change.
When you you look at the world from other people's perspectives, you create positive change.
When you take care of the physical environment, you create positive change.
When you grasp your interdependence with all living forms, you create positive change.
When you give up a little tension and gain a little humor, you create positive change.
When you refuse to be hurried, you create positive change.
When you give thanks for the blessings of existence, you create positive change.
''What you think about an event is more important than the event itself. Better still, while you cannot control the events in your life , you can take charge of your thinking.''
