“A positive attitude is most easily arrived at through a deliberate and
rational analysis of what’s required to manifest unwavering positive
thought patterns. First, reflect on the actual, present condition of
your mind. In other words, is the mind positive or not? We’ve all met
individuals who perceive themselves as positive people but don’t appear
as such. Since the mind is both invisible and intangible, it’s therefore
easier to see the accurate characteristics of the mind through a
person’s words, deeds, and posture.
For example, if we say, “It’s absolutely freezing today! I’ll probably catch a cold before the end of the day!” then our words expose a negative attitude. But if we say, “The temperature is very cold” (a simple statement of fact), then our expressions, and therefore attitude, are not negative. Sustaining an alert state in which self-awareness becomes possible gives us a chance to discover the origins of negativity. In doing so, we also have an opportunity to arrive at a state of positiveness, so that our words and deeds are also positive, making others feel comfortable, cheerful, and inspired.”
