“Think Positive” – revised..
I have always been a proponent of “think positive” and I hate it when people think or say anything that is negative.
People sometimes say in frustration – “I know I am not going to get it”. If you ask me, there is no point in saying such things – then why do it? There is a saying in India that goes – “You should be careful about what you say, ‘coz you never know when God will randomly say ‘Amen‘ to that”. So one should think positive so that any random ‘approvals’ from Him will always result in something good.
I do want to revise that, however, to – “do not think negative, nor optimistic“.
Many times, being positive AND optimistic has had disappointing results for me. So I believe, it is safer to not feel optimistic about anything. That way nothing can disappoint you.
