Positive thinking
To succeed, we must think positively. When thinking positively, we see everything positively. When we see things positively, we can see the wisdom behind everything, behind every event. When we can see the wisdom behind everything, we can benefit from it.
In relation to successful efforts, there is an interesting example of people who achieve success because they always think positively.
When the Merapi volcano erupted a few years ago, everyone mourned. Especially the residents in the surrounding mountains. Eruptions, vomit of sand, and cold lava devastated the settlement. There is nothing left that can be used as a source of livelihood.
However, not for those who are able to think positively. They are able to rise again even if everything is destroyed. Cold lit that for most people has no benefit, for those who think positively can be used as a source of livelihood. They use cold lava to grow crops and produce handicrafts for sale. They also conjure the sand that devours their settlements into money. As a result, life goes again. The wheels of the economy revolve again. Disasters can not stop them from continuing to live and work.
(The above story is not intended to underestimate the suffering of our brothers affected by the Mount Merapi disaster.The story above is only meant to describe people who always think positively.)
