The Power of NEGATIVE Thinking
When I was in my third year in the
university I made a new friend that pointed out to me that I was a negative
thinker. And of course I was furious within and didn't accept that until he
explained to me why he had said that. It made sense so I began to check my
thought pattern.
I always thought in the positive and
soon began speaking positively but years down the line I just realised that
though my words are always positive, my negative thinking had returned. I admit
I was shocked when I discovered that! I was like, "oh my God, what am I doing to
myself?" I began to search myself and I recognised that I felt thinking
negatively shielded me from disappointment, heart break and pain. I thought that
if I saw the worst then whether whatever happened was good or bad it wouldn't
matter to me since I had prepared myself mentally for it. Sad, right?
The Bible says whatever a man
thinketh so is he. This means that I am the thoughts I think not what I say. If
I keep thinking negatively long enough then I'll begin to speak and act that
way. Positive thinking is not so we live in denial but to have a positive
outlook in life. When you think in the negative your life will be in the
negative. Negative thinking is a self destructive habit; it makes you sabotage
yourself and go round in circles without experiencing any real joy in your life.
Negative thinking steals your peace of mind and gives you a pessimistic outlook
in life. What you visualise or picture through your thoughts will be attracted
to you. I bet you don’t want to attract all the wrong things which are your
worst nightmare.

This is illustrated through Job in the Bible. Job was a wealthy
man and a man that God could boast of but he didn’t think right. He had a
negative thinking habit. And indeed his thoughts did manifest. He lost
everything he had; all his wealth and family. What he feared had come to be.
Negative thinking I believe arises out of fear. Deal with your fears and begin
to think positively.
You might think that what you think
about doesn't matter but it does! If you want to change your life then change
your thoughts and of course your words! Your thoughts will cause you to envision
them and whatever you keep seeing will eventually manifest. Change your
thoughts and take charge of your life! Don't ruin your life with your thoughts.
