TOLERANCE TO NEGATIVE THINKING |
NEGATIVE THINKING AND THE
OVERLOADED STATE
Most people occasionally experience the negativity associated
with overload. It isn't a serious problem unless you allow
yourself to slip into a state of chronic overload. When
you are in overload, you experience the same negative thoughts
found in the fatigued mind. Even if you have a positive
operating system running in your mind, you can still experience
serious negative thinking when you live in a state of chronic
overload. When you decrease the overload, the negativity
quickly dissipates, and you return to your normally positive
state.
The negative thinking found
in the overloaded state is a warning that something is wrong.
You are in overload, and your mind is rebelling. The only
way it can make you stop and rest is to flood your mind with
negative thoughts. Every negative thought is a STOP SIGN.
Stop what you are doing and relieve the overload. You are
too busy, and your activities are too important, and your
problems are too serious, or so it seems to the overloaded mind.
You are losing perspective. The three great enemies of the
positive mind - busy, important, serious - are controlling you.
When these three culprits are in control, they create overload.
Even the most positive mind can only take so much, and then no
more. It goes into revolt and uses negative thoughts to
drive busy, important, and serious from your mind. Your
mind shouts its warning and forces you to deal with the overload
before you break down. Negative thinking is your friend if
you pay attention to what it's saying.
Overload is extremely common in western
societies. There aren't enough hours in a day to
accommodate a typical western lifestyle. Add to that a
mountain of shoulds, musts, and oughts, and you have everything
you need to slip into an overloaded state.
Although overload is uncomfortable, and
negative thoughts proliferate at an alarming rate, you still
have command and control over your mind. If you listen to
what your negative thoughts are saying, you quickly discover
your problem is overload rather than clinical depression.
Furthermore, when you relieve the overload, your positive state
of mind returns.
HABITUALLY NEGATIVE STATE
Only a few people live in a habitually negative state.
These are the pessimists. People living in this state have
a Ph.D. in pessimism; it's their specialty. They are
experts at filling their minds with pessimistic thoughts; it's
their way of life and their way of looking at the world.
They have fully assimilated all of the negative programming
encountered during their lifetime. They have a negative
operating system up and running in their mind. Pessimistic
thinking isn't something they do only when they are fatigued or
in a state of overload. They do it all the time.
Their cup of life is always half empty rather than half full.
These people have sand in the gears of life.
The pessimistic bias in their thinking colors their world.
Their entrenched pessimistic outlook makes life more difficult
than it really is, and certainly harder than it needs to be.
Pessimism isn't all bad. At least they aren't clinically
depressed. Although they may look on the dark side, they
don't have significant problems with command and control, and
twisted thoughts and distorted emotions don't rule their mind.
It's hard to turn a pessimist into an
optimist because they need a mind transplant. they need
total reprogramming of their mind with a positive operating
system. Pessimism works for them, and they really don't
want to change. Although they may not enjoy their life as
much as an optimist, their comfort zone easily accommodates
their pessimistic world view.
Pessimists don't need to be on medication
or to talk to a therapist. As long as they maintain
command and control, and they don't have a problem with twisted
thoughts and distorted emotions, they can live in their
pessimistic world. but if their pessimistic outlook is
wearing thin, and they would like to have a more positive point
of view, change is possible. The Bible says, "Be
transformed by the renewing of your mind." The wheel of
change turns in the direction of what they put into their mind,
and if they start filling it with positive things, they can push
their life in a positive direction. Their pessimistic
world view can dissolve, and they can actually come to believe
there is no limit to how good their life can become.

TESTING LIMITATIONS AND LIVING DREAMS
God gave us a lifetime to TEST OUR LIMITATIONS and to LIVE HIS
DREAM FOR OUR LIFE.
God's dream for our lives is better than anything we can
imagine. God created a beautiful world and populated it with
life, and then He gave it to us for our enjoyment. He also put
an eternal spirit inside us, and we have the privilege of living
as one of his children. That's why some of us call him Father.
God is on our side and has our best interests at heart. He has
a powerful and positive dream for our life, and if we get in
agreement with him, that dream can come true.
But there's a catch. The only way for that dream to come true
is for us to test our limitations. God doesn't have any
limitations - all of them belong to us. To the extent that we
cling to our limitations, to that degree we limit the ability of
God to work a miracle in our life.
It's incumbent on us to step up to the front and test every
limitation found in our mind. We must relentlessly look past
our limitations and act as if we cannot fail. That's the only
way we can break through to the awesome future that God has in
store for us. We have a choice, If we cling to our
limitations, we miss out on God's best. If we test our
limitations and break through them, God works a miracle in our
life.
