How A Positive Thinker Looks On Negative Factors

“People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong...Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Cars are furnished of "negative indicators" sets really in front of the driver to tell him when the battery doesn't load, when the motor is heating too much, when the pressure of the oil is too much low, and so on.

To ignore these negative indicators can ruin your auto, nevertheless there is no necessity to excessively be stunned if someone of these negative signals ignites: you don't have to do anything else other than to stop you at a station of service or at a garage, and to set remedy to the drawbacks.

A negative signal doesn't mean but the car it is not good; all the autos heat too much sometimes.

This despite the driver of the car doesn't continually owe and exclusively to be careful to the dashboard: this could be disastrous.

He/she has to stop his/her attention on the windscreen, he/she has to look where he/she is going and above all has to watch out for his/her destination, to where he/she wants to go.

He/she simply has to give every now and then a look to the negative indicators and when him ago, no it has to settle neither to delay on them.

He/she quickly has to look again in front of itself and to focus himself/herself on his/her positive purpose and that is on the where he/she wants to go.

Auto-observation a precious tool

"It is the theory that decides what can be observed."

Albert Einstein

The only ways through which someone can help you it is call into question your ideas.

If you are ready to listen and if you are ready to be called into question, something you can do, but nobody can help you.

Which are the most important things in absolute? It is auto-observation.

Nobody can give you a hand, in this. Nobody can furnish you a method. Nobody can show you a technique.

In the moment in which a technique is learned, you again become programmed.

But the auto-observation - that is to look at him same - it is important.

It doesn't mean to be absorbed in his/her own thoughts to be worry of oneself.

It is not of this that I am talking about: I am talking about the auto-observation. But what is it really?

It means to observe all of this that is inside us and around us, up to the most extreme point, and to observe as if it happened to somebody else.

In other words this means that is not personalized that that it happens us, it means to look at the things as if some bond was not had with them.

In this way you will have reached a great ability of "separation" from your anxieties and from your worries and this give you the power not to identify you with them.

The Importance Of To Be Proud Of Your Work

From "The Prophet" [Kahlil Gibran]:

"Then a ploughman said, Speak to us of Work. And he answered, saying: You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite...
Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune.
But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret."


Dear friend, I have to confess you that these wonderful words of one of the most respected poets and philosophers of last century, Kahlil Gibran, they have always impressed my mind.

I would only to point out the importance to be proud of our work, whenever intellectual or manual.

If you do your job every day with a great sense of responsibility and passion and if you really love it then you will receive soon or later a great deal in return, I assure you!

But, if you do not like your job, if you are not comfortable with it, then I strongly suggest you to change it as soon as possible.

It is well worth the trouble, why? Because work is what makes you feel good with the rest of the universe!

Too often we think that a job is a job, and does not matter what job we do, because the only raison is to make a living, to survive.

I disagree with this way of seeing, because I think there is always something deeper inside all things and especially in what we do every day.

It does not matter if you are a factory worker or if you are the president of the United States: you are both human beings and the humans need to feel joined themselves to the earth since time immemorial.

Technology and Science development and these so stressful modern rhythms to which we all are devoted nowadays they should not make ourselves unaware of our origin.

So be proud of your work! It will make you a better person in the long run!
