Man is always attracted towards everything that is metaphysical and psychological; leading psychologists have always believed in the matter of mind, which is capable of performing stupendous things for self growth and development. On the flip side, they are also worried by a mind that is out of control, with many manifestations of disease and illness as the final result. It is always believed that human beings could achieve anything and everything under the sun, provided they possess a mind that is tough and intelligent.
As a corollary, they also believed that people who have achieved a high degree of personal success, always showed an elevated level of positive thoughts and beliefs. Positive thoughts are known to assist a person in achieving those goals and targets, which can not be achieved by a person with a negative mindset.
Understanding positive thought requires considerable amount of intelligence and wisdom. Positive thoughts are so surreal and mysterious; man has always been baffled by the fact that some people are more endowed with a high level of self belief and positive thoughts, while many people lack this natural gift, due to unknown reasons. Positive thoughts seem to originate from the mind, and its flow is always controlled by the person. Though most of us have positive thoughts deep in our mind, we may never experience it in its full potential or may experience only during some time in our life. Is it possible to control the flow of positive thoughts at a uniform rate?
It is possible to develop positive thoughts and feelings by adjusting the way in which we think and behave. There are several innovative methods prescribed by many leading experts and often these methods do help us in developing a positive us. However the basic methodology is almost similar in all techniques. If you want to develop a positive personality, you will also need to consider driving away all negative thoughts; it is probably like two opposite faces of a coin. Positive and negative minds are dual in nature. When one of them shows its dominance, other will be in its dormancy. This perceptible shift in alternating domination and dormancy state of mind is the ultimate factor that makes us either positive in nature or negative in behavior.
Is it possible to retain positive thoughts as our dominating entity in our mind? Conversely, can we suppress the negative part of our personality by using some methods? Theoretically both are distinct possibilities, provided we have some genuine methods to follow. Though it is almost impossible to drive away our negative aspect of personality, it is also possible to mask such negative part of the personality with fresh, continuous positive thoughts.
It is just like filling in fresh, crystal clear water slowly, inch by inch, to replace a mass of water that is dirty and stained. Another analogy is to fill in a glass of water with crystal clear water and add black ink, so that the whole glass of water becomes dark and negative. Now when you add fresh water slowly, drop by drop, and replace the whole glass full of dark water, the resulting water mass is all crystal clear and pure. Our mind actually works in a similar manner.

How could I have tested positive for Marijuana when I never used it?
By: comnking | 19-07-2008
I recently tested positive for Marijuana but I have never used any drugs. They retested the same sample twice but say that both were positive with a level of 143 ng. Again, I never used drugs so I know there must have been a mistake. I went and had another test a week later and it was negative. I am tested frequently because of my job and this has never happened before. What could be the problem? I am told that the positive cutoff is 15 ng. Mine was almost 10 times that. Wouldn't that mean that I would have to be a heavy or at least regular user? If that were true, how could I be negative a week later with the same testing method (urine)? I am going for a hair sample this week but I am dumbfounded by the whole thing. I was taking some OTC meds for a cold and ripped fuel 5x for weight loss but I was told none of those would produce a false positive.

I feel pregnant but I can't get a positive result also spotting every month for two days only?
By: pinkcutiepie55 | 16-07-2008
I was on the pill and I messed it up and started my new pack a week late because my period had been late..Well a about two weeks later I started to feel pregnant.. I have one child already so I know how I feel when I get pregnant. So I take a test.. it's positive.. Then a week later I start spotting. it lasts for two days. Still all the symptoms of being pregnant. So I wait.. The next month I am sick.. I have every symptom possible and then again I start spotting I called my dr. and spoke with a nurse. She tells me to wait because she just thinks that my cycle is messed up, completey ignoring the fact that I tell her I FEEL pregnant.. she tells me to wait and see if the bleeding stops.. so I do.. it stops.. two days again. So I call back and I can't get in for over a month.. So I wait... then again the next month all the same symptoms.. and again I start to spot. I have not gotten another positive test. I don't understand why if I am not pregnant I have all the symptoms and also I only spot for two days each month around the same time.. like if you were going to have a period.. Has this ever happend to you? I see my gyno finally next weds. But I am scared.. I don't understand why this is happening! My family dr. said that I could have a cyst that is causeing a hormonal imbalance. I guess that's possible.. but why only spot for two days a month.? This makes no sense.. I just don't understand!!! I have put it in God's hands for now I'm trying not to worry myself sick! Please if this has happend to you please let me know! And if you have had a cyst please let me know if this happend to you. Thanks! !
