WE ARE WHAT WE THINK

According to the US National Science Foundation, it's estimated that our mind produces as many as 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts in a day.

Dr Deepak Chopra, well-known holistic health guru and alternative medicine practitioner, thinks that about 95% of these thoughts are the same thoughts as yesterday's.

We should therefore, do our best, to take up a proactively combinatorial role in our lives to ensure that our daily thoughts are productive in creating positive outcomes in our lives, failing which we will only create miseries for ourselves.

As ancient sages have exhorted, we are what we think, and thoughts are the architects of our destiny.

Here are some simple and quick ideas to move forward with a positive outlook in life:

Take full responsibility for your life; Decide what you want in life and work out a strategy/plan; Be grateful for what you already have; Talk to and/or mix around with positive folk; Be happy, don't worry, and always smile; Have time-out, and do relaxation sequences; Read inspiring books or quotes; Render random kindness to others wherever possible;
