Many people project outwardly a very positive countenance.  They don’t voice negative thoughts when talking with others.  This is a good start. However, it would be very rare for just about anybody to have a constantly positive inner dialogue. 

Just by observing how the mind keeps on producing thoughts in meditation, I believe it becomes possible over time to be very conscious of the validity, or not of our thoughts.  As this happens there is more discrimination in the sorts of thoughts being voiced.  Awareness of our thoughts over time brings about a more positive outlook.  As this happens we let go of inner doubts and self-deprecation.  As we free ourselves from inner negative self talk we become compassionate not only to ourselves but to those with whom we interact.
