Your mind is very mobile in nature. The mind always keeps wandering around good and bad thoughts in life. Your thoughts can vary from anywhere personal to you, or generic in nature.

- Sack your enemy out of you.
In you, there is both a good attitude and a bad attitude. While the good one in you helps you approach life with a positive mindset, the bad one distracts every now and then with its negative energies. Your negative mindset is your enemy. This enemy misguides you all along. You get demotivated, depressed, distracted in whatever work you pick to do, just because of this negative attitude.

- Don’t set unrealistic goals.
Unrealistic goals as the name states are either difficult to achieve or impossible to achieve. You may have a passion for something, but wait for a minute and check yourself if it is really possible. Fine-tune your goals by making them realistic in nature, so that you don’t have to scout for nothing in nowhere.

Thoughts are nothing but information. It is the data that you collect by your senses. They are not built genetically. With an exposed to the surroundings, it can be achieved.

Therefore, you must be possessive about your thoughts. So, here are 5 thoughts, you need to get rid of immediately.
1. THINKING ABOUT FAILURE
Yes, agreed. Failure can be very embarrassing at times. With many critics, things go worse. Well, this is what an ordinary man thinks. Nothing in this universe is a waste, not even failure. A successful man makes a profit out of failure. He thinks failure to be an opportunity. An opportunity that can change the foundation of success. The term ‘failure’ helps you to know your weaknesses. Once you are aware of that, you can modify yourself. But at first, you must make yourself understand. So, next time you face failure, him a hug.
2. THINKING ABOUT OTHER’S OPINION
Well, this is a social parasite. As we are a social animal, we have to live in the society. We get ourselves introduced to newer norms of the society. In this process, we put our privileges to people. However, this is not socially bad. But allowing people to determine your mood is bad for you. Suppose there is a group of 50 people living in your society. Those 50 people may utter 50 different opinions. Therefore, remember, that other’s opinion is only good for reference. Use that reference effectively while planning your future.
3. THINKING ABOUT YOUR AILMENTS
The human body is nothing but flesh and bones. So, we will have to face some acute or chronic ailments. Whether your ailment is major or minor, you mustn't think about it all the time. By doing this, your mind will be pre-occupied with unnecessary thoughts. In a major situation, it may be difficult for you to resist thinking. However, you can also consult your doctor, seeking his advice. He will tell you to rest, as it will heal faster. And if your ailment is acute, there is nothing to be worried about. Rather than thinking, engage yourself in activities like gaming and reading. Therefore, never think about your ailments, if any.
4. THINKING ABOUT THE RESULT DURING ACTION
If you are going to get indulged in any act, think wisely. Before action, it's genuine to think about the consequences. But, you should never do it during action. During action, focus on what you do, not what you get. Being goal-oriented every time, won't be that effective. Rather, it will deviate you from your goals. You won't be conscious about the activity you should have done. Many tend to concentrate only on the goal. Remember, use your goal only for inspiration. Only if you concentrate on your acts, your efforts will show color. Therefore, never think about the results during action.
5. THINKING ABOUT YOUR WEAKNESSES
Thinking about your weaknesses is also a weakness. You must try to avoid that at any cost. However, you will lose all self-confidence in no time. This can be very embarrassing, as this can lead you towards depression and anxiety. Instead of thinking about it, work on it. Being human, our intellect is our greatest strength. Therefore, try to innovate ideas to work on your weaknesses. It is also important to keep our weaknesses hidden. On thinking more, your mind will try to share these with your closed ones. This can be extremely dangerous, as there is no guarantee of loyalty. So, to prevent all these, never think about your weaknesses.
