Hi everyone,
I am trying very hard not to lose my interest in writing...so here comes another one...not so very far from the previous entry…pretty good huhhh...
So what do I want to share today?
I like reading. It is an ingrained habit from very young age. Can’t basically leave the house without bringing a book with me...even though I know I may never get the chance to read it. What I am saying here is...books have become a very regular companion wherever I go and I don’t leave a bookstore without buying one.
Well...borrowing your books and magazine from library is cheaper. Does not cost much except some times and few bucks...but I would rather buy my books for personal reason.
One of the many books I have is Think and Grow rich by Napoleon’s Hill. You may think that having this book for so long…I would be filthy rich like him by now…but unfortunately...I am no near there...it is because...reading is one thing...practicing is another matter and to start the ball rolling is all together another level.
When we read, everything we read will be just it…a potential power. People say knowledge is power but to the informed, knowledge is only potential power until and when we decide to practice the knowledge and apply actions or act on them. Until then, no matter how much we read, if not applied, the knowledge would be forgotten...
So what is the best way of applying knowledge…??
One way is to become a teacher to other people...share the knowledge and make a role reversal…instead of being a student all the time...be a teacher and spread the words of wisdom...the knowledge and whatever...embraced in the joy of sharing..
So here today, I want to share this:
Symptoms that show fear of ill health…
1. Autosuggestion
· This is a negative use of autosuggestion
· Looking for and expecting to find symptoms of being ill…
· Enjoying imaginary illness and telling everyone as if it is real
· Talking to others about all sort of illnesses
2. Hypochondria ( imaginary disease)
· A person who is hypochondriac…tells everyone, he or she has the illness and concentrating the mind on the illness until it become so real to them even though all tests performed on that person proved that he/she is otherwise healthy
· Nothing that comes in a bottle can cure this condition
· This is due to profound negative thinking that only positive thinking can affect cure.
3. Indolence
· Fear of being ill or infected resulting in someone avoiding a lot of things i.e. exercise etc…therefore may results in sedentary life, lack of exercise and become overweight
4. Susceptibility
· Negative emotions and negative thinking reduce the body’s resistance and creates a favorable condition for disease, therefore a negative person is susceptible to disease and fall ill easily and frequently.
So why this fear of ill health is no good…go figure it out, but one thing for sure...these people become so obsess with some negative preconception and habit like avoiding good food, avoiding exercise, become obsess with visiting doctors, worry about the hospital bills and spend so much time thinking and talking and preparing about the illness, talking about death, buying unnecessary medical insurance, saving money for cemetery lots and burial expenses they almost forgot that life is to be lived and enjoyed. Staying healthy is important but nothing is more important than life itself.
So...Why don’t we start by being positive about life? Instead of thinking about illness and preparing to become ill, why don’t we start our daily life by being positive? Early morning, when we open our eyes, feel grateful to almighty God who has given us another good day…filled with joy, happiness, laughter and good health. Tell the mind we are going to have a great day …and great day will it be!!!
until my next posting, remember that a man whose mind is filled with fear not only destroys his own chances of happy life but also those of the people who come into contact with him....live with passion and take care....
