Positive vs. negative thinking

I just posted this comment on http://MOSWeblog.com . The discussion is about positive and negative thinking, What is your opinion?

Dear Friends,
For me it comes to one thing – Free will. How many times something “bad” happened to you what turned out to be the best thing what could ever happen at that point of time?
I believe that sometimes you need to get upset, you need the negative feeling to be able to know and appreciate the positive one. Now what Exactly is a positive and what is a negative thinking? I came across of different descriptions from different people – meaning what is a positive thinking for one person does not necessarily is a positive for a second one.
In one book long time ago ( I apologize to the author of this quote but forgot his name) I read “ If you think that you need to be positive all the time just to your car and unplug the negative plug from your car battery. How far will you go? “

People who know me say that I am very loving, peaceful and patient person. Every time I would think something negative I fell ashamed of that. I worried that I will hurt someone felling. I had no right to judge, I felt like horrible person. So I dismissed all negative. You know what I ended up with? With Low self confidence and High blood pressure.

Coming back what I said on start- Free will.
I think it is ok sometimes to get upset – then try to figure out what really cause it and what steps you need to take to heal this.

I think we should not try hard to dismiss our negative thoughts, because finding the underling reason for the negative thoughts and healing them will get us to the place where we will be happy and in harmony. Place where we actually appreciate when the negative thought will come.

I love the move “ The Secret” and think everyone should see it. But also believe it is just a start- there is so much more to be said.

Thank you for a great job you guys are doing.

With Love
