How to stay with a positive mindset forever. This is the daily disturbance podcast with Anthony O'Neill. Renewal requires opening yourself to new ways of thinking and feeling, Deborah Day. So how?
To stay with a positive mindset forever. Well, you need a constant source, because you will run out of positivity. You will run dry. You need to have more light and positivity, because darkness will not cease, and negativity will continue.
And the one with a greater and more constant source will overwhelm the other. So what? Or maybe where? Or who is your source?
And are you emptying yourself of what is within you? Daily. No Jens Zendzaki. And Paul reps talk about Nanin, a Japanese master during the Meiji era.
So he receives a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nanin served he. He poured his visitors cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he could no longer restrain himself.
It is over full. No more will go in. Like this cup, Nanin said, you're full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen, unless you first empty your cup?
What? And again, where? Who is your source? I think a liberating and filling belief, apart from my need for a source, right?
Is also that whatever reality is before me, I must believe, is God's or the universe's gift. I'll say it again, whatever reality is before me, is God's or the universe's gift to me. I've personalized this and I encourage you to embrace it. Whatever reality I do not accept as a blessing to me has become a curse.
Indeed, no matter how challenging, I can see a reality as either stretching me. Or stressing me out. One is a blessing, the other is a curse. Max will remind us it's not what happens to me, it's what happens in me.
That really matters in life. Command your friend, not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path. It's a Friday, and just before the weekend, do think about this whole idea of your mindset and where it is today.
Vaclav Havel said this, vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. Not enough to stare up the steps, we must also step up the stairs. So what is one thing that you should add into your mindset and begin applying today? What is one thing that you should stop that is disrupting, that is destructive in your mindset and in your life today?
And what is one thing that has already worked and you are grateful for and thankful for that you must continue doing today? Think about these three things and have a wonderful, reflective weekend.
