Mind Matters

Changing a way of thinking is about one of the toughest things one can train oneself to do.  Go on and try it, tell your mind that the wall in front of you is red, and not white.  Maybe, it is easier to say, the wall in front of me can be red, and not white.  Take for example, something really good happens to you and you are always expecting something bad to happen.  What do you do?  Catapult in the office, dance, smile, shout for joy and say eureka? Or expect the same crazy nonsense that may have happened at some particular moment or period in your life to continue happening?  The paradox is, the more stressful and hopeless the situation you may have encountered, the more you expect the worst from every situation and invariably, that is what actually happens.  Then you feel sorry for yourself, start self doubts, you are vulnerable and as a result, you believe all manner of rubbish.  That is why so many, and I mean so many people in this, my fourthworld will never ever be free from poverty, because the poverty is ingrained in the mind.  It is true about spending time with positive looking people, where others see doom, they see challenges, where others see traits of things that have formed a downward pattern, they see traits of situations that were let out of hand and can be reversed. Negative ways of thinking have a way of inducing panic and when panic sets in, all rational reasoning goes out through the window.  Coincidences and innuendoes become facts, because, in your mind, one plus one adds to eleven.
