What do you always think about? This is very important. Whatever you think about grows in your life. You will always grow in the direction of your dominant thoughts. Do you always think of failure or success?
The way you mind works has a way of affecting everything you do and are involved in. If your mind is working negatively, it can undermine or destroy your chances of success in life.
A man who is suffering from paranoia, for instance, cannot maintain relationships. Paranoid is a situation in which a man always thinks that other are discussing him at his back. When a paranoid sees two people talking and laughing, he says, They must be talking and laughing about me. When two people are standing and he passes by them , he thinks. Why did they suddenly go quiet when I got near them? They must have been discussing me.
Another thinking disorder is called hypochondria- morbid anxiety about health. It is a nervous malady. It is a situation where someone always thinks that something negative is about to happen to him, especially with respect to hia health. A hypochondriac always expects the worst to happen. He imagine that he may be carrying an incurable disease in his body, and he does not even know.
When a man or woman is suffering from paranoia, hypochondria or indeed any other type of thinking disorder, they become virtually unproductive in life. They are never able to think right or straight. Before long, they begin to believe their own assumptions. These beliefs, in turn, begin to affect their attitudes, habbits, relationships, performance and consequently, their productivity.
Finally, thinking is free. You do not pay for thinking, so why not treat yourself to some positive thinking and great imaginations. It will cost you nothing. Absolutely nothing.
