Understanding The Different Types Of Thoughts
That The Mind Creates (cont.)
We have explained Negative Thoughts yesterday.
Today we continue with the same:
Negative Thoughts (cont.)
If your thoughts are based on the five vices or
related emotions (as explained yesterday), it is as if you had poisoned your
own mind and the atmosphere around you. However much you may be right, it does
not matter. By thinking negatively you will always be the loser, since negative
thoughts take away the respect you have for yourself and others respecting you.
Generally speaking, people who think very negatively about others will often
find themselves alone, even though they have many relationships.
Other people
will try to avoid someone who has angry thoughts since anger is like a fire
that destroys and causes damage, and nobody wants to approach this fire.
A negative person who only sees the negative
side of things causes disharmony in their immediate environment. These types of
thoughts are more prevalent in people today, and are one of the causes of
stress, fragmentation, aggressiveness and suffering in our current society.
At a practical level, negative thoughts make you
lose energy and weaken you. They are a form of inner pollution that must be
cleansed so that your mind becomes a more efficient tool.

Message for the day
Determination breaks the barriers that
difficulties create.
Projection:
Difficulties do come in my life and I cannot
avoid them. When they come I find that they create barriers in my way. When
such barriers come my way I am not able to experience progress in anyway and I
find myself losing interest in doing things.
Solution:
Whenever difficult situations come my way, I
need to remind myself that such situations come my way in order to help me move
forward. When I remind myself of this I find that I get the determination to
work on them. Only with determination will I be able to work on them to
overcome them.
