The Power of Positive Thinking - V
5. Stop Fuming and Fretting
Are you a boy or girl who fumes and frets? The word “fume” means to boil up, to blow off, to seethe. The word “fret” is equally descriptive. It has an irritating, annoying, penetrating quality. It is a childish term, reminding you of a fretful baby.
The character of our thoughts determines the pace at which we live. When the mind goes rushing pell-mell from one feverish idea to another, we become irritable and impatient. This mood produces toxic poisons in the body and creates a sort of emotional illness. We feel frustrated and fume and fret about everything. Such emotional disquiet affects us physically; it even reaches that deeper inner essence of the personality known as the soul. It is impossible to have peace of soul if you live at so feverishly accelerated pace.
We need to stop fuming and fretting; we need to become peaceful if we are to have power to live effectively.
Stay tuned for other major factors that influence positive thinking in an individual.
