Experiencing Positivity With God’s Love And Help (Part 1)

Is Our Mind’s Point Of View Positive?

Looking around us, we find a few people find happiness amidst imperfections in their lives because they always find something to be thankful for. On the other hand, few people manage to find faults even in perfect situations. A person’s response in either case is only a matter of point of view. A view point literally means viewing life from a certain position of the mind. It is like watching a cricket match from different positions across the field. The umpire gets a different view of the game from what a wicket keeper gets and what another fielder gets, because they all stand at different positions on the field. Even in daily scenes of life, two people from the same family view a situation from two different positions of the mind. They see it differently and respond differently. Our view can make life either a joyride, which is smooth or a roller coaster ride, which is full of ups and downs. 

Let us choose the most positive position of the mind to look at scenes of life. That position is from where there is an outward flow of our positive qualities like peace, love and happiness to the scene. That position is from where our inner beauty expresses itself freely and impacts the outer situation favourably. Recognizing and choosing the best mental position depends on our personality. If the mind is filled with original soul qualities, then the entire inner space is positive. Otherwise if the mind is cluttered, that positive point of view becomes rarely accessible to us. When we regularly engage in activities like meditation which promotes self-awareness and introspection, the mind enters a state of positivity. It learns to be oriented towards peace, love and happiness. Eventually it colours our point of view about every person, situation… and life itself with positivity.
