As a child my dad once bought me a ring. It
had many different colors and its colors would change. He told me that it was a
mood ring. I was too little to understand that it was just a toy. As I took a
test in my third grade class. I put on my ring and was happy to see that
the colors were mixed between purple for cool and blue for calm and relaxed .
My nervousness over the test disappeared and I did very well. If the ring would
have shown a black color (stressed) or a red color (fear) or maybe even a yellow
color (nervousness) , who knows
how I would have performed.
Back then I did not know that a mood ring is
a ring that contains a thermochromic element, such as liquid crystal that
change colors based upon the temperature of the finger of the wearer. I did
well because a toy ring gave me a positive feedback that I was calm and I
believed it and as a result I did real well on my exam. Positive thinking will
achieve positive results. Had I been given negative feedback, who knows if I
would have done as well because there is a belief that negative thinking can
not achieve positive results.
Norman Vincent Peale in the 1950’s wrote
a book called the Power of Positive Thinking and I quote, “Formulate and
stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this
picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop
the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.”
As a child, it took a toy ring to bring me
the confidence to believe that I should be calm and that I will succeed. In
real life, you have the power to be successful with your attitude. A proper
positive attitude in life is what is needed. If you have negative thought and
feeling you can not succeed. The good news is that you can change your
attitude. You can be successful if you so choose. If you always put limits on
everything you do physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and
into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not
stay there, you must go beyond them – Bruce Lee.
Your mind is a powerful thing when you fill
it with positive thoughts your life will start to change. By Mauro Libi Crestani
