In a world where stress, worries, fears, strain, rush and
restlessness abound, inner peace is of paramount importance. It is a treasure
that everyone desires, but very few know how to find and enjoy. Almost every
day we face situations that cause stress, anxieties, worries or unhappiness.
Problems, conflicts, demands, misunderstandings or emergencies often arise at
work, at home or in relationships, and lead to emotional and physical strain or
problems.
A state of inner peace is a great blessing in such and
similar situations, and is important for dealing effectively with them. The aim
of this book is to help you find this state of inner peace. Often, even while
being in good financial condition and in good health, people still experience
anxiety, unhappiness and lack of peace. This is because inner peace and
happiness come from within, and do not depend on external conditions and
circumstances.
You cannot always change or control your external
conditions, but you can certainly bring changes into your inner world, which
will in turn affect your actions, reactions and external world. If you thought
that inner peace is a state of weakness and passivity, you are wrong! You may
lead a normal life, like everyone else, but at the same time enjoy a state of inner
peace and inner strength that no external conditions can disturb. The more
tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power
for good.
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the
mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and
success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A
positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful result.
Whatever the mind expects, it finds. Not everyone accepts or believes in
positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff
at people who believe and accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many
know how to use it effectively to get results.
Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this
subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. This is
a subject that is gaining popularity. It is quite common to hear people say:
"Think positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Most people
do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what they really mean,
or do not consider them as useful and effective. How many people do you know,
who stop to think what the power of positive thinking means? Positive and
negative thinking are contagious.
All of us affect the people we meet, in one way or another.
This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through our thoughts
and feelings, and through body language. People sense our aura, and are
affected by our thoughts, and vice versa. Is it any wonder that we want to be
around positive people, and prefer to avoid negative ones? People are more
disposed to help us, if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone
broadcasting negativity. Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up
negative and unhappy moods and actions. When the mind is negative, poisons are
released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is
the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.
