The Positive Mindset: How To See Good in People and Things

The positive mindset story is about two students who were being taught under one teacher. One of them had a propitious positive vision, and he generally searched out valid statements from anything he saw. In contrast, the other one had an ominous vision and consistently figured out some negative or blame from his perceptions.

When the teacher and the disciples went to a park together one day, they came across a mango tree in the garden where some ripe, juicy mangoes were hanging. The instructor considered testing both of his students when he saw this. As a result, he called them to his side and asked them to pay close attention to the mango tree. Then, he asked the first, “My dear kid, what is your take of this mango tree?”

“Teacher, in spite of people hitting this tree with stones, it gives us sweet and juicy mangoes,” the disciple replied immediately. Even though it hurts, it still gives us fruit. I hope the mango tree’s important lesson to all humans is to share one another’s possessions, even if it means suffering.

“My dear child, what do you think of this mango tree?” the teacher then asked the other disciple the same question.

“Teacher, this mango tree is no good and will not give mangoes by itself, but only when we hit it with stones and sticks,” the student aggressively responded. As a result, in order to obtain sweet mangoes from it, we should hit it hard. These mangoes can only be obtained in that manner. This tree also makes it abundantly clear that in order to reap the rewards from others, we must be violent and that only by becoming violent can we attain happiness.

The teacher was pleased with the first student’s response because he had an admirable vision and saw the tree in a positive light. On the other hand, the teacher was dissatisfied with the second student’s response because he saw the tree in a negative light and insisted on learning the wrong way to achieve success in life. He generously bestowed his blessings on the first disciple.

Even though the situation is the same, how we interpret it reveals our mental state and how we view others. Take, for instance, pretty roses that have thorns on them. Someone with a bad vision would exclaim, “Oh God! Even these pretty roses have thorns,” and someone with a good vision would exclaim, “Wow! What a wonderful natural creation, a pretty rose in the midst of thorns.”

Always have a vision that can discover something positive, even from a bad person or thing. And as a result, day by day, your mind and intellect will gradually become pure.

Develop a positive outlook and always look for the positive in everyone and everything.

Moral of Story on The Positive Mindset

Life’s greatest strength is positivity. Positive people succeed in all circumstances. Although many great celebrities had one or more flaws, they always maintained a positive outlook on themselves, others, and their circumstances. As a result, they achieved success by overcoming a variety of challenges.

Our relationships with other people can be shattered by even a little poison of negative thoughts in our heads. We only need to maintain a positive outlook and show others that we value them for what they are.
