The Case Against Positive Thinking

Positive thinking as thought and practice by many people is actually not as dangerous as negative thinking. But it has it downsides. You have been reading and hearing from many people that thoughts are powerful. But the thing that you will have to know is that it is not totally powerful. There is another aspect which you have to know and it is the reality.

For example, you can try to think of turning a page in the newspaper. You can think for the next 10 years and you will still not be able to turn a page in the newspaper. Thoughts are powerful but you must also realize the reality. There is a lot of power in your physical ability too.

If you do not know how to differentiate the reality and the thoughts, you will go through a stage of denying the truth of what’s actually happening for a mental image which you find more pleasant.

For example you have cut on your forehead. The positive thinker might say to you that your head is fine and you should just think of that cut as a illusion. But in actual fact, you have a cut and that is the reality. But what you can do is that to wipe up the wound and have a positive thinking that the wound will heal faster.

Having a positive thinking is important but we must also be aware of our reality. If you know how to balance between reality and positive thinking, you will be able to achieve the dreams and goals that you want.
