"A man is what he thinks about all day long".Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of the greatest gifts to the man from the nature is his ability to think and this is what makes him different from others. Each individual is unique in his way because of his thinking. An individual's thought process is reflected in his personality which ultimately plays an important role in deciding the course of his life.
Optimism or positive thinking is all about being confident about the future or success of something. It is this positive thinking which opens the doors of success for an individual.
The person who is confident of achieving his goals will make sure to put in all the hard work in the requisite direction. It becomes difficult for the failures and hurdles to stop an optimistic person to achieve his goal. This is because each failure is a stepping stone of success for him.
Although life isn't a bed of roses, there is a way out of every labyrinth and an answer to every enigma. There is no such problem which can't be sorted out. At times, it may happen that a person finds himself stuck in a situation and is unable to figure out how to proceed. In such a situation, he needs to think and analyse carefully in order to find a way out. The journey of life isn't a smooth one. There are a number of speed breakers in the form of obstacles and hurdles at each stage of our life. But it is not that a few selected individuals have to face problems in life; everyone has to face their share of problems.
It is just the intensity which may vary and the thinking of the person makes a difference; how a person tackles the situation. An optimistic and confident person will be determined to fight the situation instead of giving up. A pessimistic person will prefer to run away from the situation. Such people develop a habit of finding faults in almost everything. Failures tend to halt their journey there and then. What these people fail to understand is that life is all about challenges and overcoming them.
An optimistic person has faith in his abilities. The word impossible ceases to exist in his dictionary. Had this not been the case, the world would not have witnessed revolutionary inventions. Confidence, perseverance, dedication, will- power and determination are the important elements of optimism.
Here are some examples how strong determination can win all obstacles in our life. Arunima Sinha was a national level volley ball player who was pushed from a running train by theives in 2011 while she was resisting them. Due to this accident, one of her legs had to be amputated below the knee. She trained under Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to climb Mount Everest. Arunima became the first female amputee to climb Mount Everest in 2013.
Famous Indian cricketer, Yuvraj Singh was diagnosed with cancer in 2011, and he underwent chemotherapy treatment in Boston. He came back in India and made his international comeback in a Twenty 20 match against New Zealand in September 2012. After struggling cancer he is still performing remarkable game, in Australia Tour of Twenty 20 (2016) he is the third highest run-getter with 341 runs at an average of 85.25.
Karoly Takacs was the first shooter to win two Olympic gold medals with his left hand, after his right hand was seriously injured. During army training his right hand was badly injured due to a grenade explosion. But Takacs was determined to continue his shooting career and switched to shooting with his left hand. He practised in secret, surprising his countrymen and the world by winning national level championship first, then Olympic gold medals in 1948 and 1952.
An optimistic individual has the courage to admit his faults and gestures instead of blaming others. In fact, this attitude of the person helps him to lead a happy and satisfied life.
In order to develop a positive mindset, one needs to keep away from all the negative energy and people. It is best to indulge in the activities or keep oneself busy so as to refrain from the negative thoughts. Indulging in physical activities such as games and sports can provide an outlet in order to vent out all the negative energy such as anger.
A calm and composed mind can overcome all the difficulties. One should never lose hope and let negativity overpower him. With a positive mindset, half the battles are won. Always remember that winners never quit and quitters never win. When life gives you lemons, you've got to make the lemonade, should be the motto of a happy and satisfied life.
