Why Read (750 words)
Today, we are going on a journey through the mind and your mental pilot is going to be your guide.
You would do well to respect this little guy as he is a fearless flying ace and fantastically awesome at what he does, he eats punks like Top Gun Maverick for breakfast. No one believes you are that cool Tom Cruise.
If you want to change you outlook on life, you need to know what is creating it in the first place. This article gives you an idea and steps on how to change it.
You Have Control Of A Fearless Flying Ace (AKA Teddy)
Even though you may not realize it, you do in fact have sole responsibility for tasking a fearless flying ace with his missions,. This means, In effect that you not only have a lot of responsibility, you now also have a lot of power.
That being said though, with great power come great responsibility (Copyright Spiderman. Stolen thelifething). If you fail in your duties he will simply go rogue and do whatever he damn well pleases, which is usually that which is easiest – the path of least resistance.
An easy way to truly understand the effects of positive and negative thoughts on your mind is to think of your mental pilot’s craft as a ball; a well rounded, beautifully crafted spherical object of desire.
Every thought you have sends this ball carving a route through your mind and once this route has been carved it can never be undone. The grooves are permanent, like the morning coffee stains on your brand new white handwoven mountain sheep wool carpet, only just recently hand delivered by four highly trained Nepalese shirkers. If you happen to not own one of these said carpets then just imagine a similar permanent situation, sticking your hand to your face with superglue perhaps.
The key thing to get your noggin around is that negative thoughts carve negative grooves and positive ones carve positive grooves.
You mental pilot is excellent at his job but he is blind to what is positive and what is negative. He will simply follow orders, like a common garden mole ordered to the front lines.
As very little of out daily life is under our complete conscious control, the way you behave on a daily basis is generally headed up by your subconscious, your mental pilot.
Though powerful, he/she/it has the unfortunate disadvantage of simply following the path of least resistance, which will happen to be the deepest grooves.
If your deepest grooves are negative you will generally act more negative on a subconscious level as your mental pilot will naturally fly along the deepest negative grooves, as these are the easiest to navigate.
If however your deepest grooves are positive, he will naturally choose to fly along the positive grooves and your outlook and your actions will generally be positive.
Remember your mental pilot and make sure you are creating depth in the right grooves so that he can fly along the positive grooves and not along the negative ones.
If your negative grooves are far deeper than your positive ones at the moment then it will take a lot of persuasion to encourage your mental pilot to fly along and deepen the shallower positive groove, though it can and must be done if you are to develop a more positive attitude.
The deeper your positive grooves are in relation to your negative grooves, the easier it is for him to always fly positive and this in turn creates a larger differential between the positive and negative and the individual develops an overall more positive outlook.
Actively focus on encouraging your mental pilot to fly and deepen your positive grooves and stay away from the negative ones.
If you are not active in giving orders then he/she/it will simply fly whichever one is easiest and if this should be the negative pathways then things could be looking pretty gray for you in the future.
Best to have him flying positive, the skies are sunnier and clearer.
To Sum Up
Take control, give the right orders to your mental pilot, deepen the positive grooves while neglecting the negative and discover a massive difference in your outlook and reality.

Such an adorable teddy bear!
Now that I have that out of my system, I like your analogy of the mental grooves. It’s definitely easier to slip into old patterns of negative thinking especially if they are reinforced by your environment. I help retrain my mental pilot by spending more time around positive, supportive people, and less time around the naysayers and critics. Constructive criticism is good and healthy, but constant negativity will only bring you down.
Its like the old family motto I live by. If they are positive, smile at them. If they are negative, punch them in da face. What can I say, tradition is tradition. Thanks for the comment.
