Power of Positive Thinking [Zen]
Maybe some of you have heard this book, and although i’m not 100% agree with this book, there’s still one insight that stuck in my head. The power of positive thinking.
Mother Theresa once said that she’s not anti war, but pro peace. This is important because if we keep our focus on the negative side, even to deny or prohibit it, the influence of that denial still affect us. Remember Roy Marten? He’s a spokeperson for anti-drug, and he got caught buying drugs. How ironic is that?

Is this why eventhough there’s a slogan that said SAY NO TO DRUGS, the drug users in Indonesia is increasing? The slogan can be changed to SAY YES TO LIFE or LIVING HEALTHY 100%. Maybe we ought to change the second sign to Year of Full Stomach and Good Nutrition.
And it worked on every aspect of our lives as well. Don’t deny the devil, accept it, and focus on the other side, the good side.

I still wonder why there are a lot of negative sentences in holy book. For instance, God says, “Don’t take other’s belonging”, etc.

hv read those book. tepatnya, nonton DVD-nya (soalnya lebih udah dipahami
), n i really like this book. told us how to change our mindset.
1 point that i dislike from this book : menyamakan kita sebagai Tuhan..
so, ambil aja yang positif
