RE: Positive thinking and rational thinking/ El pensamiento positivo y el pensamiento racional. [Eng/Esp]

in Proof of Brain3 years ago


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.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.

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.
