Positive Thinking and Meaning of Life
Introduction
Positive thinking according to researchers is a mental state that is governed by the attitude. This is critical in articulating words, thoughts and images that transpires expansion, success and growth. It has been noted that positive minds gears at joy, health, happiness and successful life. The mind searches what it expects in bringing a meaning to life (Benigni, 1997). I enrolled for professional management accountancy course and I knew it was tough, proceeding to the next stage called for exams for the next eighteen stages. I switched my mind to ultra positive thinking mode focusing on A’s only. The end results bore sixteen A’s and two B’s, proving that positive thinking was part of the success in the professional examinations.
Main Body
Life is beautiful tells a story of Jewish Italian helping his family in Nazi concentration camp. The film indicates that Benigni’s father had survived internment for three years at the concentration camp called Bergen-Belsen. The survival film revolves on the power of positive thinking. Guido was committed to marrying Dora, an issue that caused drama at the engagement party to another man, despite many challenges. A son is born called Giosue who later recalls the contributions done by Guido in sacrificing for the sake of the family (Benigni, 1997).
Positive thinking requires people to ignore the negative thoughts that are displayed by other people. Thinking positively is a personal choice that is not subject to external influences as observed in Benigni. Imaginations are important in visualizing the beneficial and favorable situations. To attain to a desired position, people must create a mental picture and then work towards the picture. Positive thinking calls for applying positive words when talking with other people and dialoguing. Research indicates that smiling has been noted to influence positive thinking through signaling amusement and pleasure.
Research observes that people must have the capability of identifying negative thoughts that are entering the human mind. This is critical in developing models of attacking the challenge as noted with Benigni. Negative thoughts must be replaced with constructive thoughts. This is a continuous process in this world full of diverse negative temptations.
It has been noted that it is normal for the human mind to feel difficulties and inner resistance to changes. This is particularly in substituting the negative thoughts with the positive thoughts. People are encouraged to never give up as observed in Benigni; it reaches a point where the negative thoughts are weeded out from the human mind, when people start absorbing good, happy and beneficial thoughts which are positive.
