Positive Thinking

By Aisha Causey

Positive thinking is all about being able to move one’s attention to focus on what the learning is in any situation.  It’s knowing that there’s no such thing as failure.  Failure only occurs when one refuses to find the good, in any situation or experience, and learn from it.  When a person knows how to learn, how to be thankful for every experience that life has to offer, and can see what the learning is, and learn from the event, then failure disappears and the world suddenly opens up to become a classroom for learning.

When I was a young adult, I often would wonder why certain things would keep occurring to me and many times I felt victim to the events.  Mostly I felt this way with friendships.  Being friends with someone was fairly hard for me and therefore I didn’t have a lot of friendships with people.  I had a lot of accquaintaces, but never more than two or three people that I felt were actually my friend.  I kept wondering why I could make friends fairly easy, but I could never “keep” friends.  Since studying in the School of Metaphysics and learning how to be a positive thinker, I have learned that positive thinking and friendship go hand-in-hand.

Friendship requires me to embrace the other person.  It requires me to be thankful to have that person as a friend, and it allows me to always be learning about myself, about them, about life, with them.  Since becoming more and more of a positive thinker every day, I now have a lot of friends.  Not only that, but I see the world as my classroom for learning.
