Life grows from a positive attitude

About three years ago, Mongolians became close to obsessed with the book ‘The Secret.’ A year later, a movie about the book was released with Mongolian subtitles. Almost every one talked about how they had read the book and seen the movie. 

At school, one of my classmates said she had the movie on her flash drive and I got to watch the movie that everyone was talking about.

“Your thoughts cause your feelings. The secret is the law of attraction.” These are the main quotes from the book, which is about how one’s life is reflected on his or her mind and thoughts. 

This can be terrifying for most of us. People usually think about the negative aspects of a situations instead of the positive things. Situation can quickly seem like they are filled with total negativity. 

A journalist that I have become acquainted with has told me about her work in the area of yellow press. This kind of press that focuses on writing something negative or false about famous people. She writes about how someone got divorced and how awful it was. Due to her work environment, which was all about writing negative things, her life began to fall apart. 

She said even her family noticed her negative and angry attitude since she started working at the publication.

Due to miscarriage she had to quit her job and focus on taking care of herself. It was then that she realized how life could be different when in an environment that is positive and for her, devoid of writing horrible things about people who are just trying to live their lives. 

“We are like magnets, we attract what we think.” It is another quote from the book. 

South Korean actor Cha In Pyo shared his inspiring life story in a recent television talk show. He said he was not as good a student as his older and younger brothers when he was in school. Although he did not have a job, he was still living with his mother, and had only about USD 200 in his pocket, he was always positive about his future. 

He went into a audition for MBC television’s new series. Luckily, he was the person they needed although there were more talented people than him at the time, he said. 

The actor has said that his reason for telling his life story is to let young people who might not be positive about his future know that their lives are not determined by today. So many young people become depressed and commit suicide because they have no job or money in South Korea, suicide is not on the menu of life, he added. 

Korean actors Choi Jin Sil, Jeong Da Bin, Lee Eun Ju, and Park Yong Ha all committed suicide when they were just in their mid 20s to early 40s. All of them committed suicide due to depression.

Your thoughts cause your feelings, if we think negative things about our current situation or our future life all the time or even sometimes, we become accustomed to accept negativity. In Mongolia we assume that life is over and we seek a shaman to get help. 

Our problems will not be solved by someone else, but ourselves, said Baabar who is a well-known writer in Mongolia in his speech to university students. People tend to seek shamans or lamas to have their problems solved. 

Life is not about how much money we earn but how happy we are and if we have a positive attitude about life. There are so many people who overcame their hardships in life and succeeded, including Harry Potter writer J.K.Rowling who once said she tried to commit suicide, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey and numerous others. 

As it says in the Secret, “Feel the gratitude, focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for. Visualize it, see it, feel it! This is where action begins.”
