What is our life about?
Our life is what our thoughts make it
British psychiatrist Captain J A Hadfield asked three men to hold a dynamometer. He told them to grip the dynamometer with all their might. When he tested them under normal condition their average grip was 101 pounds.
When he hypnotised them and told them they were very weak they could grip only 29 pounds. That’s less than a third of their normal strength. He tested them a third time telling them under hypnosis that they were very strong, they were able to grip an average of 142 pounds. When their minds were filled with positive thoughts of strength, they increased their actual physical powers almost fifty percent. Such is the incredible power of our mental attitude. This is from the book “the psychology of power”
If we think happy thoughts we will be happy. If he think miserable thoughts we will be miserable. If we think fearful thoughts we will be fearful. So we can assume a positive attitude instead of a negative attitude.
At times, we want to change the whole world and everyone in it, when the only thing that needs changing maybe our focus of the lens of the camera which is our mind.
Our peace of mind and joy we get out of loving depends not on where we are, or what we do, or who we are but solely upon our mental attitude.
