Though it is advised that one must always think positive, it does not always happen that way. Some negative thoughts somehow creep in at times and give trouble for some time. During such times one must remember that no matter what flashes across the mind as a negative apprehension, he must not utter or speak it out loudly. It must not come out from the mouth, unless absolutely necessary. We are, after all, spiritual beings having human experience.
My grandmother (born 1885), who died in the year 1976 at the age of 91, used to say that at times words spoken out might fall into place. Negative remarks must be avoided as far as possible. So any view of the future with anxiety, alarm or fear must not be spoken out loudly. I always felt that there was something of value in her philosophy, in her spiritual approach, which possibly experience had taught her to obey.
Instead of saying, "If you don't do this, such and such things may happen", one should say, "Do that, because it is always good".
Don't think this is a superstition. It has got something to do with ones' act of speaking, ones' utterance, which may carry something more than what one can apprehend, be more complex than what one can observe. It has got something to do with spirituality. Remember Hamlet's remark, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy", written by W. Shakespeare.
However, acceptance or non-acceptance is still each person's own choice.
