Thought 7: Negative Thinking

Negatives always deduct; it is their nature to deduct, to degrade, to weaken, to debilitate - in the mental and emotional planes especially. Negative thinking subtracts - from your happiness; it subtracts from the quality of your life. Negative thinking is a weakness and when you continue to indulge in it, you are building weakness over weakness, layer after layer, resulting in greater weakness. You are building, misery and suffering over misery and suffering, resulting in greater misery and suffering. Negative thinking is a self-inflicted harm, which is totally avoidable

To hate anyone or to indulge in intrigue to avenge imagined injuries and injustices is negative thinking and therefore, wrong; it always works against your interests. To think of harming any one or to feel jealous of some one’s success or prosperity is a negative thinking – and therefore, wrong; it works against your interests. To always feel gloomy and suffer from a sense of foreboding is an irrational fear, which is a self-inflicted damage. To constantly indulge in irrational fears is negative thinking – and therefore, wrong; it adds to your misery. For that matter, any fear is due to negative thinking and therefore, is best avoided. All fear is avoidable to a large extent if you have confidence in yourself and in your god.
