Is There Power in Positive Thinking?

            Is there power in positive thinking? It’s a question often asked by our society, one in which stressors play a very important part in our lives. Positive thinking, although small, has a lot of power and can impact the control over difficult circumstances. The power of positive thinking leads to the achievement of goals and a good health.
            First of all, in order to achieve goals, a person needs to have a positive mind. A positive thought leads to a positive reaction in various situations. For instance, if an individual wants to accomplish a career in the U.S., he/she knows that they will face many setbacks like the language barrier, in which case he/she will have to start from the bottom and work hard to the top to gradually reach their goal. This can only be possible when a person has positive thoughts and therefore, attitudes that allow the focus and determination needed to reach his/her goals.
            Secondly, positive thinking can be a powerful tool when it comes to health. It is very important to be positive in order to overcome any health obstacles. To illustrate, if a patient has caner, they have a higher chance of overcoming this illness with positive thinking. In a short video shown by Dr. McCormick, the speaker, Barbara, mentions that due to her positive thinking, she was able to fight and survive breast cancer. As you can see, positive thinking allowed her to believe that she was going to survive this illness and gave her reason to fight through it.
            Hence, a positive thought can make a huge difference in the outcome of any situation. Positive thinking allows us to achieve our goals and is related to a good health which eventually leads to happiness.
