Several months ago, I was swimming in frustration. I was worried about my life and everything around me. Nothing was working. Or at least, none that I could see. I had just completed my National Youth Service and was jobless. I had no money to meet my basic needs. To make matters worse, my boyfriend had just discontinued the relationship with me.

Pain, anger, dejection, frustration, confusion! Name it. I didn't know where my life was headed and I began to fill my mind with vain thoughts. I only thought of how worthless my life was. I felt unloved and even hated my life. The more I thought negative about myself, the more negative my life became.  I lost faith and hope in myself. I got angry at even little things that normally shouldn't make me angry. I shut everyone out of my life and smiled less.

Breakthrough came when I read a book by Rick Warren....Purpose Driven Life.

I realized that my thoughts shapes my life.

How productive I was, were results of how productive my thoughts were.

I made a decision to start thinking right.

But how? My thoughts were already polluted. How could I just start thinking right when all I knew to do was worry?

I was confused. I knew what to do but the problem became how to apply it. Then, one morning, while studying a book, I came across a part that said "when you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that's called worry. When you think about God's word over and over in your mind, that's meditation. If you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate! You just need to switch your attention from your problems to Bible verses (or something more productive)".

That was it! I decided to put my worries behind me and channel my thoughts towards positivity. I realized that, the more I thought right thoughts, the less I had to worry about my problems. In a few days, I had become more happy, cheerful and joyful. I was more fun to be with and I smiled more.

Below, are few benefits of thinking right....

If you want to be happy, think right: Marcus Aurelius said "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking". What positive thinking does, is to make you focus on positive things and you'll agree with me that it brings about happiness.

If you want to be successful, think right: Shiv Khera said "Your positive action, combined with positive thinking results in success". If you think failure all the time, you'll end up being a failure.

To become better: Zig Ziglar said "Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will". So, if you want to become better in that business, course, relationship, etc., think better about it.

Remember, like Albert Einstein said "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them".

So, we must change our thinking if we really want to see change in our lives.
