Be Positive and make your world Super Positive!

Updated: May 10, 2022



A young teacher in a village school was asking the little students a volley of questions.

The students were vying with each other to answer the question first, not sure the answer was right! She went on to ask. “Who is the king of the forest?” There was a pin drop silence as the kids were puzzled as to what the teacher was expecting. Everyone had the answer in their mind.

After a pause, she went on to ask:


"Face the terrible, face it boldly" - The King of the Forest…



The teacher in a clear voice articulated her thoughts: She said "Because... because,

So He commands RESPECT, drives FEAR, draws ADMIRATION, and ignites INSPIRATION

what is it to be Positive?

Do you accept yourself as you are? Do you accept the world as it is?

Do you meet people where they are, on their ground?

It is only then you begin to interact with people and the world in a constructive way. You assert faith in self, with a conviction that you have nothing to lose but only to gain in your life’s engagements. You may not necessarily be winning every time, but will be learning all your life while you are experiencing newer potentials, newer challenges, and newer possibilities. Your basic assumption would be that someone is worth relating to or something is worth attempting with, some situation is worth exploring and experiencing.

Then you will not be heard saying, “I cannot… I am afraid… I fear”. You will also not instruct others “Don’t do this… Don’t do that…Never try this, etc”


Never underestimate the power of thinking! Negative thoughts trigger negative results! For instance, you tell a child to take a glass of milk. Instead of telling it plainly, you tend to say, “ Be careful, don’t tilt the glass let you spill the milk or don’t the glass”. Sometimes we are overcautious when we try to forestall some untoward event happening by foreseeing it and worse still warning the others about it. In fact, by your warning, you try to provoke the other to do exactly what you want to forbid. For instance, A mother says don’t run, you will fall and break your legs, the child exactly tries to do what you forbid, simply for the fun of knowing what happens if it does what it is asked not to do. Even before the toddler sets out to put her first steps, the mother imagines the worst, the child falling and hurting, she visualizes it and anticipates the consequences, she gets emotionally upset as if the worst has already happened…and so tells the child not to do that. Probably until the mother said that, the child might not have thought about the possibility of falling. Worse, the child tries to do exactly that, visualizing the falling and hurting itself, and there it happens. Then, comes the whack on the child that is only driving the behavioral reinforcement. The intention may vary, maybe as a way of punishing you or probably demanding your attention or seeking your care.

So let's nurture only positive thoughts, feed on positive feelings, and initiate Positive actions... the world will resonate positively for you and me.

It is only by your Attitudes that embody your Beliefs, you Connect with the world outside! This is the ABC of life! Be Positive and make your world Super Positive!!
