Una tendencia actual, bueno ya desde hace prácticamente una década es el desarrollo del pensamiento positivo, este se trata de una corriente donde cada persona limpia su mente de aquellas ideas negativas que pueden generar barreras en sus acciones partiendo del hecho que todo es posible si nos enfocamos en lo bueno. Sin embargo, muchas personas han llegado a creer que este pensamiento positivo es una especie receta mágica donde todo lo que piensan si lo hacen de forma positiva lo van a conseguir sin ninguna clase de esfuerzo.

Positive thinking then becomes an empty positivism that ends up depressing and destroying people who acted under the impulse of a kind of deception that made them believe that everything is possible without effort. Positive thinking is undoubtedly a technique, strategy, tool and even why not philosophy of life that certainly connects and aligns us with our positive ideas in an ideal way so that our life is connected with the strength of affirmative ideas, it is from within us the power of yes I can.
De ahí que entonces el pensamiento positivo se convierta en un positivismo vacío que termina por deprimir y destruir a las personas quienes actuaban bajo el impulso sólo de una especie de engaño que les hacía creer que todo es posible sin esfuerzo. El pensamiento positivo sin lugar a dudas es una técnica, estrategia, herramienta y hasta porque no filosofía de vida que ciertamente nos conecta y alinea con nuestras ideas en positivo de forma ideal para que nuestra vida se conecte con la fuerza de las ideas afirmativas, es desde nuestro interior el poder del sí puedo.

However, positive thinking is nourished by the harmony that must exist between it and rational thinking. Our rational thinking allows us to distinguish between good and bad, it gives us the tools to transform our environment based on our capabilities and potential. Rational thinking brings us closer to the truth of things, removing from our minds the deception that sometimes we ourselves have built thinking that everything can come easily and effortlessly.
Sin embargo, el pensamiento positivo se nutre de la armonía que debe existir entre el y el pensamiento racional. Nuestro pensamiento racional nos permite distinguir entre lo bueno y lo malo, nos da las herramientas para transformar nuestro entorno basándonos en nuestras capacidades y potencialidades. El pensamiento racional nos aproxima a la verdad de las cosas quitando de nuestras mentes el engaño que en ocasiones nosotros mismos hemos construido pensando en que todo puede llegar con facilidad y sin esfuerzo.

From this point of view a life in harmony is supported by acting in full consciousness between positive thinking and rational thinking. If we only focus on one of the two our existence will be diminished either by deception in the search for magical solutions from where we will fall into frustration or, by absolute rationality where we lose hope in the possibility of a change for the better. In this sense, we must assume that life is a constant balance where mind, spirit and body must be in perfect harmony.
Desde este punto de vista una vida en armonía se soporta en la actuación en la consciencia plena entre el pensamiento positivo y el pensamiento racional. Si sólo nos enfocamos en uno de los dos nuestra existencia se verá disminuida ya sea por el engaño en la búsqueda de soluciones mágicas desde donde caeremos en la frustración o, por la racionalidad absoluta donde perdemos la esperanza en la posibilidad de un cambio para mejorar. En este sentido, debemos asumir que la vida es un equilibrio constante donde mente, espíritu y cuerpo deben estar en perfecta armonía.
Hi @emimoron. I like what you wrote in your post, I also believe that we should balance positive and rational thinking. An other example that comes to my mind, where positive thinking is deleterious, is when we think about changes in our future. Many of us unconsciously tend to project only the positive aspects into the future while not giving too much importance to what can go wrong.
In fact, whenever I have to make a decision about a major change I usually try to write down the pros and cons in order to be as rational as possible.
I don't know if it's just me or if you find yourself in this situation too.
Thank you very much for your comment. Certainly many people act inspired or guided by positive thinking as if it were a kind of magic and put aside the rational and logical part where they must act in order to achieve what they want. That is, on the one hand we must certainly be positive but on the other hand rational to balance our plans with our abilities, capabilities, possibilities and all that we are.
Positive thinking can help one to keep going despite negativity that comes our way. We should all endeavor to be positive in the new year despite obstacles that may occur. Happy new year to everyone.
Hi, thanks for your comment. And if it is true positive thinking helps us but for it to work in our life we must also have that rationality that connects us with reality. And yes I support your comment this year as always we must be super positive.
Super Positive. God we help us daily to be. Wishing you the best all through the year.
Very apt. The popular mantra of thinking positively without factoring reality is really going to put alot of people into a kind of false living and hoping for the best. We always need to adjust our positive mindset to the specs of reality so as to foster alignment.
Thank you very much for the contribution. That is part of my philosophy of life, to be positive implies at all times to be clear that there may be circumstances that are not very good but that we can overcome if we have the strategies to do so and that is where reason comes in to be part of that balance between positive thinking and logic.
