Food for Thinking - Positive Thoughts

I want to share this good read from a post in Positive Club Forum

Greetings Friends,

We are constantly creating our World around us, our environment and ourselves; that’s why I feel we should be more creative with the thoughts we think. I will give you an example of the devastating effects the wrong kind of thinking can have in our lives.

These two people were both in the same Hospital, where they had been diagnosed with the same type of cancer and both were given the same prognosis…they had 3 months to live.

They both were given the same orthodox treatment, and they do not know one another…
Here is how each reacted to the news that they had cancer and only 3 months to live.

One, when he was told he had cancer and about the prognosis, went into thinking by Default; he started making associations with his past experiences, “the big C” and all the people he knew who got cancer and died. He went into a downwards spiral of Negativity…he was as good as dead because he abdicated all responsibility for his body, and left it to the Doctors…he did die in the space of 3 months.

The other had a totally different attitude; when he was told the news same as the previous man, his reaction was completely different. He did not go into Default thinking, he went into Creative thinking mode and decided his body was his responsibility, and he had to be involved in the healing process in order to get well again; so, he thought to himself…I am going to beat this thing.

He started by finding out what was there for him to take Positive action and an active part in getting well. The first thing he did was to learn to Meditate, this gave him the calmeness and clarity of mind and thought he needed, he did not go into dispair, doom and gloom. He used Natural Alternative methods in tandem with orthodox treatment he was on. He left no stone unturned looking for ways in which he could help himself get well again. He had no time to sit around feeling sorry for himself, or doom and gloom. He was a man of action, a man with a mission and it was the mission of his life. He knew of no higher incentive.

He got well, and last I heard 8 years after he was diagnosed with only 3 months to live, he was alive and well and enjoying Life to the full with his family and friends.

Why did one die and the other survive? It was all in the thoughts they were thinking and their attitudes!

Positive thoughts create happy, healthy body cells, whilst Negative thoughts create diseased cells in your body; so we do not have to be rocket scientists to know which thoughts to think, do we?

So, in short; if you suffer from a life threatening disease, such as cancer…cancer thrives on Negativity and pessimism, because these states create Free Radicals in the body and these free radicals which will go on getting more cancerous. Whereas Positive thoughts and Optimism thoughts create healthy happy cells in our bodies, thus depriving the cancer of what it needs to grow.

I am presenting this to you as food for thought, and not as food for thinking by Default.

Cheers.

Antonio.
