Dear Readers,
Welcome back!!! It is great to see you again. Hope you had a fantastic day.
Today, I was thinking of how negative thoughts can adversely affect a person. If we start thinking something negative that thought slowly consumes us and affects our mindset very badly. I have seen that wrong things tend to happen to people who think about it the most.
Let me share an incident. Few years back, I had been to Goa with my friends. Goa is a beautiful state known for its beaches, pubs and laid back life. It is visited by several tourists every year both from India and abroad. Goa is a very chilled out city and people come here to relax and move out of the hustle of the big cities.
It was the month of November. This is the month when tourists start arriving to the city. The month of December is when the city is over flowing with tourists gearing up for the Christmas and New year festivities. The air was cool and little humid with little bit of rain everyday. We had come to the Bagha beach which is known for outdoor sports. We went on the regular motor boat and banana split sports. After this we decided to do Para sailing. None of us had done this activity before and we were very excited.
We paid the money to the sports people and they took us to a boat. We were five friends and we were joined by a young couple in the boat. The guy seemed to be a little nervous but his girlfriend was trying to relax him. The boat took us to the deep sea. I was the first one to do the activity. One end of the rope was tied to a place in the the boat and the other end was tied to the chute. I was attached to the chute using a bag type of harness belt. The rope was released slowly and I flew out like a kite. It was quite thrilling to be 100 feet in the air and to be surrounded by the blue sea. One by one me and all my friends completed the activity. Now, it was the turn of the couple. The man was nervous and was saying that he did not know how to swim. The boat person explained that there was a life jacket tied to him and also a life guard would be on stand by if needed. Also, there was very little chance of him falling in the water. After a lot of encouragement from his girl friend, the poor guy decided to sail. The guy had barely sailed to the top when we all heard a loud noise and the boat stopped.
Before we could realize what had happened we saw that the poor guy had fallen into the water. He was struggling too hard and as a result he swallowed a lot of water. The life guard immediately jumped into the water and helped the guy back to the boat. We found out that the boat propellor had struck something hard which had made it to stop. Now, this was the only guy who did not want to be on this boat and was afraid of doing this activity. And, due to some bad coincidence he had to suffer this accident.
But, I have observed this type of behavior on more than one occasion to call it a coincidence. The toughest lab program usually comes to the guy who is usually afraid to take the exam. People generally end up in accidents if they get nervous. If a person thinks that he will fail in a driving exam even before he starts the car then he will normally fail.
I believe that negative thinking is dangerous as it affects the sub concious mind. If we start thinking of all negative things then definitely something will go wrong. So, we need to always think positively and surround ourselves with positive people. Staying with a person who has negative attitude can adversely affect ones own mind set. So, think positive and be positive always.
I hope you all liked this article. See you all very soon again.
With Love,
Gunjan.
