Your mind will adapt to the way you react to external influences. Just as the food you eat affects your body, your mind will also be shaped by the information and emotions it receives. Some of the impressions you receive throughout the day can have a positive effect on your thinking, while others can create a bad mood. Therefore, it is important to protect your mind from negative impressions.
If you achieve spiritual balance, your mind will automatically reject unpleasant thoughts and negative mental influences. To do this, you need to try to replace unpleasant thoughts in your mind with positive ones. “Throwing away” means getting rid of negative emotions and focusing your attention on things that are useful and enjoyable.
Many great people in history have discovered their talents under the influence of failures and disappointments. O’Henry’s only criminal adventure landed him in prison, but it was this incident that paved the way for his recognition as a writer. Jack London suffered from depression in his youth, but it was precisely these experiences that made him a famous writer of his time. Knut Hamsun experienced many failures in his life, but did not despair, reflecting his experiences in the work “The Famine”, which brought him the Nobel Prize.
The problems and difficulties encountered in life are not of great importance, but what is important is how a person reacts to them. Charles Dickens’s unrequited love did not crush him, but rather inspired him to create the novel “David Copperfield”, which became famous in world literature. Thanks to this work, he achieved great success not only in literature, but also financially.
A person goes through many trials, defeats, and disappointments in life before he finds himself. But behind these difficulties, new opportunities are hidden. When US President Harry Truman was told that his store was going bankrupt, he never imagined that he would become president in the future.
For us, failures, defeats, and disappointments are actually tests that pave the way to happiness. They force us to replace negative thoughts in our minds with positive ones.
There are also cases when a person achieves great success in life through a completely unexpected circumstance. For example, a geologist has been searching for gold all his life, but his faithful mule accidentally falls into a pit and breaks his leg. The geologist, trying to save the mule, discovers a rich copper mine.
Therefore, great opportunities may be hidden behind any difficulties and trials in life. If you encounter any setbacks, remember that this situation is an opportunity to guide you towards success.
Remember: Everything is for the better!
(From the book by Napoleon Hill)
