Psychologists often say that feeling good or bad depends on ourselves, this statement is not without controversy, because some people think that there are circumstances that are not dependent on us and that can hurt us.
It is true that many external experiences outside of us can cause our mood to vary, but it is also true that our mind takes care of each event, and the meaning we will give it will depend not on anyone, but solely on ourselves.
- Decision-making power is a wonderful thing in our hands.
- As an example.
- I can tell you an illustrative story of positive thinking that I witnessed last Tuesday in a huge store:.
A lady had found a jacket, the last one, on one of the store shelves, showed it to her husband and was fascinated by this light brown jacket because it took him a long time to find something like that. quality, vibrant color, size was his and affordable price. The lady was so happy that she saw happiness on her face, so she showed it to her husband, who consinted accomplice.
But so much happiness and luck disappeared shortly after realizing that there was a stain on the flap of his jacket. Oh, what a shame, I’m so unlucky!repeated over and over again.
Suddenly, his mind changed state, as if it were bipolar. What was positive and light became negative and dark. “This stain is not going to come out, ” he said. He went to the service desk, full of concern, and asked the saleswoman if she had another jacket like that, and then the clerk replied, “This is the last one, ma’am. “His disappointment grew more and more.
“Are you sure?” He insisted
? Yes, ma’am, it’s the last one.
? What happens is that it gets stained, what if I take it home, wash it and can’t remove the stain?
At the time, her thoughts were negative, but the girl at the counter uttered the magic words and used both positivism and optimism to change the course of the situation.
? Ma’am, what if I could remove the stain?
A sea of optimism flooded the place. A mood that believed that things could not go wrong, that the hope of something was important, infected the client.
Even if you can’t remove the stain, that’s the attitude we have to have in life, everyday situations depend on how we take them, and fortunately we can choose to have a positive or negative attitude.
Positive thinking will help us to grow, to seek solutions, to move forward, negative thinking will stop us, we will do nothing and we will regret any obstacle that life presents to us.
Finally, and to help me, I tell you that the stain is gone, with a little water and clothes the damn stain, which caused so much suffering, left and turned the jacket into an outfit that made this woman incredibly happy.
And everyone will wonder how I know this story, because the answer is simple, you’re my wife.
