I have come to see clearly that positive thinking has played a major part in achieving the peace I am experiencing now, and it is helping me in attaining ultimate joy.
I started practicing this way of thinking some years ago, and to start with it wasn't easy ... I would often fall back. I continued on with it though, and by reading as much as I could on the subject, and by reinforcing what I had learnt, I eventually trained my mind in a different pattern.
And now as soon as I have a negative thought - I change it into a positve one.
I thought that my positive state of mind could influence any outcome... but then my husband was dying and I could not save him. I had to accept this and be strong, as he needed me. I realized then that we can not control another's thinking or life ... we don't have the right to...
All I could do was gently comfort him from my knowing that it was not the end. And that he would go on living, and that we would meet up again.
No matter how positive one is, it is a natural response to mourn the loss of a loved one. But in time and with the right attitude we can come through, and be happy again.
I am so grateful for finding faith, and to the angels that helped me throughout my grieving time ... and to one in particular who saw the light in the end, and let me know that life does indeed continue ...
You will find out more by reading my book - 'White Balloons'.
