    You Are What You Think


    Philippine Daily Inquirer
    September 29, 1996

    The quality of our thoughts becomes visible through our words, our words,
    our behavior, or even through the expression of our faces. The seed of words and
    actions is thought. By knowing and understanding the types of thoughts our mind
    can create, we will be able to consciously redirect thoughts towards the positive.
    Hence, we will improve the quality of our minds, body, and relationships.

    Necessary thoughts are those that deal with our daily routine like “What will
    I eat?” “What do I need to do today?” “When do I have to pay my bills?” These are
    practical thoughts to attend to our daily needs and requirements.

    Wasteful (or superfluous) thoughts are those that are of no use, neither
    constructive nor particularly negative. They deal with things of the past like “If this
    did not happen,” “Why did he not tell me this?” “If only I had done it this way.”

    Negative thoughts are most harmful, especially to us. Irrespective of the


    impact they have on others, negative thoughts are based on materialistic desires,
    anger, lust, unfulfilled expectations, jealousy, hatred, arrogance, extreme
    possessiveness (or attachments), extreme laziness, etc. If our thoughts are based
    on these weaknesses, then, it is as if we are poisoning our mind as well as the
    atmosphere.

    No matter how right we are, by thinking negatively we lose because negative


    thoughts take away our self-respect and others lose respect for us. Usually, we find
    that people who think very negatively about others will feel lonely although they
    may have many relationships.

    Positive thoughts alone allow us to accumulate inner strength and enable us


    to be creative and constructive. To have positive thoughts means we always see the
    benefits in all situations without being caught up by the external appearance of the
    situation.

    To think positively doesn’t mean that we ignore the reality (especially the
    unpleasant or negative ones) around us and pretend to love or be somewhere else.

    To think positively means to see the problem and recognize its reality, but at the
    same time, to be able to find solutions for that problem. This often requires that we
    have some tolerance, patience, and common sense.

    A person who thinks positively will be aware of the weaknesses of others


    around him but will still turn his attention towards the good tendencies of others.
    Positive thoughts give us the feeling of contentment within and because of that, our
    expectations of others become less and less. We stop demanding things from them
    like respect, consideration, love, recognition thus enabling the relationship to
    become light.

    Also, when we are content within, then we have the strength to accept others
    as they are without wanting to change them as we think is right. And together with
    that, we can give ourselves as we are with our positive qualities and shortcomings,
    without pretending we are something else.
