Eight Words That Can Transform Your Life: Thought For The Day #38 💭✍
Cultivate a Mental Attitude That Will Bring You Peace and Happiness
Dale Carnegie asked ‘What’s the biggest lesson you have ever learned’, he leads onto saying ‘Our life is what our thoughts make it’. Thus, we must take control of our thoughts. Power of positive thinking. Psychology of power book, by J.A. Hadfield.
People can banish worry, fear and illness, transforming their lives, by changing their thoughts. Here I was wanting to change my whole world and everyone in it – when the only thing that needed changing was the focus on the lens of the camera that was my mind. When difficulty creeps into my life, I just tell myself to get that camera back in focus and everything is ok.
‘It wasn’t outward situations that has caused all my suffering, but what I thought of those situations. As soon as I realised that, I was cured’.
‘I am deeply convinced that our peace of mind and the joy we get out of living depends not on where we are, or what we have, or who we are, but solely upon our mental attitude’.
‘The mind can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven’
‘He who conquers his spirit is mightier than he who taketh a City’.
‘Nothing can bring you peace but yourself’.
‘The sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if your cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there’.
‘It is physically impossible to remain blue or depressed while you are acting out symptoms of being radiantly happy’
‘I forced myself to be pleasant and cheerful; and this not only helped my family, but it also helped me’. Why continue therefore to tolerate glooms and depressions?
As a Man Thinketh – James Allen.

‘A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him…let a man radically alter his thought, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will affect in the material conditions of his life. Men do not attract what which they want, but that which they are… the divinity that shapes our ends is in ourselves. It is our very self… all that a man achieves is the direct result of his own thoughts… a man can only rise, conquer and achieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak and abject and miserable by refusing to lift up his thoughts’.
The High Cost of Getting Even
Jesus said ‘Love your enemies’, not only is this good moral code yet is also good medicine. He also said, ‘Forgive seventy time seven’ keeping you from high blood pressure, heart trouble, stomach ulcers, and other illnesses. By ‘Loving your enemies’ Jesus was also telling us to improve our look. We know people who have faces wrinkled with resentment and hardened with hate. All the surgery in the world wont improve someone’s looks half as much as a heart of forgiveness, tenderness and love.
Even if we can’t love our enemies, let us at least love ourselves so they our enemies do not control our happiness, our health and even our looks!
‘Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself’
Sioux Indians: ‘O Great Spirit, keep me from ever judging and criticizing a man until I have walked in his moccasins (shoes made from deer leather) for two weeks’. Instead of hating our enemies, let us pity them and thank God that life has not made us what they are.
General Eisenhower: ‘Let us never waste a minute thinking about people we don’t like’.

Oh i see, well i learn through life that we have to be more sintoniced with others, share ideas and explore new worlds, i am an enthusiast about that. If anyone get a daily task of say something nice to anyone at least 1 time at the day, we can have a better and intelligent world for us and the coming generations.
Thanks for the support, i really like your readings!.

@luppers, Mental Attitude is everything and if we succeed in controlling our mind and thoughts then we can make a difference in our life. In my opinion many live in illusion and by that i mean, if they face any type of adversity they move into negative phase and they say words like, it's my destiny and fate, but instead of that if they would think that it's not adversity then their mind would think about positive aspects no matter how much tougher the situation is reflecting.
"Mind Is Master" so become "Master Of Mind".
Stay Blessed.

That's such a powerful statement and one that is so true! Yes, many people can believe the illusion of the ego and their negative thoughts and decide to act on the idea that these illusions are true. The opportunity is still there for people to decide and choose to be positive and see the positive, although difficult it is still possible. Great quotation. Thanks for sharing your great thoughts as always! Please share some more, 100% upvote!!
Yes, always there are opportunities, just we need open and clear mind to allow fresh perspectives to see towards our situations and to take effective decisions which can transform our life.
Thank you so much and have a joyful time ahead.
Perspective is such an important word, for all of life I think! Upvoted 30%!
That's true. Have a great time ahead.
Thank you!
Welcome.
For anyone who doubts we are what we think, just look around any city. The skyscrapers, roads, shops, businesses, vehicles, and technology do not exist naturally in nature. They only exist because they were a thought in someone's mind before being brought into reality. You really are what you think, good or bad.
Yes, that's a cool nuanced idea with the skyscrapers and urban environment. Greats thought! Upvoted 60%! Feel free to leave some more of your thoughts in my future posts, I would be happy to hear them!
Dear @luppers I loved your article
It is true what you say, there is nothing that liberates the soul but relieves our burdens that learning to forgive, and accept that we are not perfect.
we must learn to forgive the people who harm us and trust in divine justice and know that we all get what we deserve, so we have to do good to receive blessings
Yes, that is true. How do we practically forgive ourself and others? Forgiveness is quite easy in day to day experiences, such as someone bumping into you on the street, the real struggle is forgiving those who have caused us real pain and suffering. How do we do that, in your opinion? Just give it up to the divine? Great thoughts, thank you very much for sharing them. Please share some more thoughts in future posts! 75% upvote!!
Great reading I shall say, I´ve been in the same situations where you end up suffering and maybe you can have reasons to suffer but it is more important to look things in other perspective and as soon you start doing that you are cured. The simple thought of making a heaven in hell or a hell in heaven remains within yourself, one can have several factors like your surrounding such as family, friends, and people you hang out with that can make you look life as miserable, where one only needs to lift up the thoughts to have a positive impact in one´s life!!
Yes, perspective is so important. It's difficult sometimes to be positive but essential! Environment is SO important! Simply, people either bring you up you put you down, the decision is up to you, sometimes the people we love can bring us down. Please feel free to share your thoughts about the content in future posts as well! Upvoted 75%!!
I know it's sounds selfish and so easy to say but we just gotta do what makes us happy. If you are not happy with what you have right now like for example you job, relationships, investments ETC. Don't just give up on it too quickly but always know the RIGHT TIME WHEN TO GIVE UP. There's nothing wrong with it and once you learn how to accept your short comings and imperfections then that's the time that we can have a better appreciation on our daily lives.
Exactly. It is important to follow what makes you happy, because not only does that make you happy but that happiness and appreciation will rub off on other people and so on like a ripple effect. However, it is difficult with the bias of 'herd mentality' to go against the norm, even if that makes you happy. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Please feel free to share them in future posts that I have for you! 75% upvote!!
Amazing ideas! Thoughts such as these are really important for buildin mental strength, self confidence and self esteem! I really enjoy those quotations, they seem to ring true very powerfully! Looking forward to the next thought for the day! Upvoted, resteemed and followed!
Yes, these are really important ideas and some that have helped me and I wanted to share those on Steem. They are great, I am planning on writing some down that really resonate and can re-read them to myself! Thank you for your thoughts, please do share more of them in the future! 75% upvote! P.S. 100% upvote on your most recent post for the resteem! Thank you!
Love this word (nothing can bring you peace but yourself ) and that is what everybody needs in this life .
Thanks for sharing this @luppers.

Maybe it the essence of God that we have in ourself that brings us peace, the peace of God perhaps can be achievable to anyone and everyone as it is in us? Great thoughts! Feel free to leave some more in the future! Upvoted 50%!!
Yes God gives peace of mind ,but it is left for us activate it .by following the footsteps of Jesus Christ .
Good morning @luppers
Amazing. How do we activate that piece? 25% upvote!!
To activate peace of mind ,you have to keep the commandment of the Almighty God ,try and make anybody that comes in contact with you happy (mostimes it is hard but you have to do it ).Be contempted with what you have ,don't be too materialistic so that you won't leave a life of greed ,always put a smile on your face it keeps you healthy ,and also tell yourself that you are unique ,remove pride .
And I tell you ,you will leave a peaceful life (like a bird or water that has no enemy )
Stay blessed.

Mit diesem Beitrag haben Sie viele Menschen zum Nachdenken gebracht. Dies ist eine tolle Leistung. Wir brauchen immer wieder Anstöße, um nachzudenken und um eine für uns richtige Lebensart zu finden. Leider sind die Menschen immer wieder damit beschäftigt, anders zu agieren, als sie gesagt haben.
Es ist für viele Menschen sehr anstrengend, mit Ihren Vorsätzen zu arbeiten.
Leider liegen immer noch Welten zwischen dem Wunsch und dem, was tatsächlich getan wird.
Viele haben den falschen Glauben, weil sie es nicht besser wissen.
Ihre Gedanken sind richtig.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Feel free to add your thoughts for the future! Upvoted 50%!!
Gran post, y gran poder en tus palabras, estoy en total acuerdo sabiendo que es los pensamientos hay tanto poder y aprender a controlarlos es una batalla que hay que ganar, pero si lo logramos podemos llegar a grandes cosas en esta vida, ya que hay pensamientos que nos impulsan a llegar lejos o limitarnos y hasta creer o creer algo y las mejores cosas comienzan allí.
