More thoughts

Its October already. How time flies? One of the universe's greatest mysteries, Time. Its a killer if your life is filled with fear, and a liberator if your life is full of positive expectation. How different time is for different people. For a man in jail, time means entirely something, and for a child waiting for a trip to Disney it is an entirely something else!!

So what is the difference in what time means for you and me. Why is it different? What is time? Does it actually exist and does it pass at the same rate for everyone? Does it have anything to do with our mentality? Can we actually control the effect of time on our minds and bodies?

Any thoughts?

A Positive Mental Attitude

Describing life's twists and turns and reasoning out the events that unfold in one's life is perhaps a mystery that we will never ever unlock. There are ofcourse innumberable volumes dedicated to explaining the events and causes for them in the brief history of mankind. Everyone wants to know why "it happenned" to them. I have over the brief course of my life come across some individuals who have not focussed so much on why it happened to them, but on enjoying the process that we all understand as "life". They have learned to experience each moment with fascination and look forward with anticipation towards the future. Their outlook seems to bring a cheer and excitement to their lives that I have seldome seen in others. Napoleon Hill calls this a "positive mental attitude". I guess, like most things in life, anything worth having has its "price", and the same can be said of a "PMA". 

I want to dedicate this blog to experiences in people's lives that resulted in amazing outcomes because of a positive mental attitude. There are just far too many people in this world who walk around with a cloud over their head and a "gloomy mental attitude". I think if we can change enough people's outlooks out there, the world can be a better place to live for many, many people. 

I welcome all stories incidents that contribute to that point of view. Of course, all suggestions are welcome.
