Effects of Positive Thought

For many of life’s situations, positive thinking will enhance the probability of a positive or desired outcome. Although, this is a statement whose credibility is only valid by those situations in which one’s mentality is on dominant control. For those situations in which external factors contribute a role to whichever weight, a positive thinking may have little to negligible effect on the outcome.  Positive thought when related to good health will have limited effects on overall health. Health on the scale would personally be rated a (6). The reasons for such a rating are that in many cases, illness comes from the outside and not from within. Mental health though, is strongly affected by positive thinking being that it is influenced directly by positive thought and psychological stability (internal factor).  Romance is a subject of which positive thinking has a light effect on. One’s positive thinking may lead to changes in personality that may in effect create a more socially attractive person. But this too is subject to external factors. Positive thinking may not have an influence on the way a romantic counterpart or the rest of the world perceives you. Romance on the same 0-10 scale would be ranked to a 6. Wealth would be ranked 4. It is something that may be influenced greatly by positive thought. It is not something that will occur magically, but positive thinking will undoubtedly lead to changed behaviors that may ultimately lead to wealth. For instance, in search of greater wealth, positive thinking may lead to part-taking in wealth-leading actions; such as playing the lottery, owning stock, gambling, etc. School success is ranked 3. Similar to wealth, it is greatly impacted by positive thinking. This just as in wealth may lead to enhanced studying habits that will help improve school grades. Career success, ranked 3 is as impacted by thought as is school success. By thinking positively about career success, one may be led to set goals and become more of an achiever. Positive thought may increase a person’s ambition to reach goals and thus enhance the probability for career success.
