Focus on Positive Thinking for Well-Being

Can thinking positively truly change a person’s life? There is a lot of talk on positive thinking being good for a person’s health, career, finances and relationship with self and others. Positive thinking is believed to help a person build self-esteem, confidence, independence and emotional strength. It is suggested that there are only two basic emotions from which all others branch, love and the opposite of love which is not hate but described as something around the emotion of fear. All other emotions are connected to either love or fear. In order to live more positively it is important to recognize the differences in these emotions and which group they belong to. Although this sounds easy it is not always cut and dry. Positive thinking is the embodiment of faith, hope and love. I have found that these three areas seem to be mentioned a lot by people who practice thinking positively. The opposites of these would be fear, despair and disbelief.
