Maintaining My Thinking

I've learnt over the years that wondering too much can kill myself --- literally.

When i am sitting down in front of my computer playing my favorite game like MapleStory for example, my mind wanders instead of concentrating on the game fully. I can think a variety of things for example, the unhappy stuff in my life when i am supposed to be enjoying/engrossed in my favorite game instead.

An empty mind may be the Devil's workshop but an over-wondering mind can be an signs of a workshop in disrepair.

I've been told by my friends/colleagues to think positively and not be so "enthu" into what's going on in my mind regarding the negative things and i am glad that i am more positive than i was in the past. However, that alone is not enough.

Having a positive self-image is a critical key to living life happily, but that alone is not a one time thing.

Now, having learnt to be more positive, i must maintain my standard of positivity. Why? Take the recent incidents when i blogged about my unhappiness with my life despite having learnt to think positively and be positive.

Just one careless slip, and i will be thinking negatively again.

Being on one's guard against one's thinking too is important.

Who said positivity is only a one-time thing? It requires constant care, nurturing and sustainence on my own part.

I remember the days in the past, when i can think of how everyone dislikes me, life being meaningless for me etc. Thinking back on all these, i can have a good laugh at myself for being so silly and foolish.

Two people can look at one situation and react to it differently --- that was something i learnt from my pastor when i was still attending church and i see the value of that statement now.

Just learn to enjoy the things now instead of pining for "the greener grass on the other side."
