Positive Thinking Is A Magnet For Success

Most people have heard of Norman Vincent Peale’s famous book “The Power of Positive Thinking.” The influence of this book and others of a similar ilk has been significant and thousands of people have applied the principles of positive thinking to achieve personal success.


How important is positive thinking to the achievement of success?


More than anything, it seems that our attitude to life has a greater influence on success than education, experience and other factors. So if you want your dreams to materialize, start by monitoring your attitude.


You need to learn how to think positively despite the circumstances. If you can do this, you will have taken a significant step towards achieving your dreams. Fortunately, it is not overly difficult to improve your thinking habits. You simply have to identify negative thoughts you need to change and replace them with positive thoughts.


Positive thinking allows us to reinterpret our experiences and circumstances more optimistically than we might otherwise do. In turn, this gives us greater personal strength to weather the storms we face and turn difficult situations around. It also helps us to move from where we are to where we want to be. By simply paying attention to the stream of thoughts that run through our minds we can quickly identify those that are negative.


It is therefore important to begin to pay attention to your thoughts. How often do you feel unhappy, negative, judgemental or discouraged? Before you can really achieve the success you want it is essential to begin to think more positively.


Positive thinkers do not allow a single negative event to affect their whole lives. They are able to put things in perspective and still maintain a healthy emotional balance. It is amazing how many people hold onto anger and regrets about relatively unimportant things.


To truly take advantage of the power of positive thinking, you need to let go of resentments and unforgiveness. There is a time for these feelings. If you have been betrayed and bruised it is only human to experience emotional pain. However, if you truly want a happy life you cannot hold onto these feelings for very long.


You don’t have to be unrealistic to be a positive thinker. It isn’t about avoiding the truth or hiding from reality; it is simply taking charge of your life beginning with your thoughts. We create what we focus on in life. We may think we are focusing on good things but when we pay attention to our thoughts we can be shocked to discover how negative they are. If our thoughts are negative, we will attract negative things into our lives. It’s that simple.


By simply paying attention to the good things in your life and being grateful for them, you can become a positive thinker. When your thoughts are overwhelmingly positive you will begin to attract more positive experiences into your life. That is the simple yet amazing power of positive thinking.

The Practicalities of Altered Attitude and Positive Thinking


It would appear positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Many people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) seem easily to develop negative thinking patterns this is brought about by being frustrated by challenges and having the frequent feeling of being overwhelmed, which inevitably leads to a negative outlook and can make it harder for them to manage the challenges and go forward.

The solution is practicing positive thinking, which allows people with ADD to focus on their strengths and accomplishments, therefore increasing their happiness and motivation.

This, in turn, will allow them to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down, depressed and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift into more positive thinking patterns:

1. Keep A Thankful Attitude Constantly remind yourself about the all the good things you have our in your life. Take a few minutes out in the day and stop what you are doing and be grateful for the smallest of good things in your world. This can make a tremendous difference

2. Staying In Trim Will Bring On Positivism. Your thinking is truly affected by your physical status take regular exercise, eat well and get plenty of rest. This will help you to stay positive.

3. Mind what you say. Do not use absolutes. Have you ever told a friend or better half “You’re always late!” or complain to a member of your family “You never come to see me!” Using absolutes like ‘always’ and ‘never’ in your thinking and speaking will always make the situation seem twice as bad as it really is. This will condition your mind into believing that these people will always let you down and are incapable of delivering.

4. Automatic Negative Thoughts. Automatic Negative Thoughts are bad thoughts that are usually reactionary like, “He /she is laughing, they must be talking about me,” or “I’ve been called into the office? It must be bad!” When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than Automatic Negative Thoughts ANT’S and squash them!

5. Always keep the thought positive. You have complete control over your thoughts. If you find yourself having negative thoughts make a conscious effort to stop them immediately, acknowledge you are having them and change them instantly.

6. Become More Tactile In this high tech western world we have become more isolated and tend to insulate ourselves from physical contact with other people. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you about the benefits of a good hug. An instant pick-me-up can be achieved by positive physical contact.

The practice of Lovin’, Touchin’ & Squeezin’ friends, loved ones, and even pets can instantly change how you feel for the better and so change your thinking and inevitably change your actions and therefore your day. One research study on this subject had a waitress touch some of her customers on the arm as she handed them their checks. She received higher tips from these customers than from the ones she didn’t touch!

7. Throw Away Ungrounded Fears Low self esteem or the fear of not being liked or accepted can lead us to believe we know what others are thinking, but these fears are usually not real. We can develop a fear that a friend or family member’s bad mood is a result of something we said or have done.

The fear that colleagues at work or neighbours are secretly gossiping behind our back can be very real for some people. The solution is to speak up and ask them. Don’t be afraid and waste valuable time and sleepless nights worrying that you did something wrong, unless you have proof that there is something to worry about.

8. More Social Activity Getting yourself out and about will decrease any feelings of loneliness by interacting with happy, healthy and energetic people, this will affect you in a positive way and keep you in a active doing mode..

9. Only What You Give Away Can You Keep By volunteering your time, your money, or your resources to voluntary organizations, or just helping another person will make you feel extremely good. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return.

There are many people who seem to work well even under pressure but in reality they are truly in a minority. We must not forget that we are all human and imperfect and to letting things like stress get under our skins won’t solve any off our problems.

Go forward and use these proven practical suggestions and develop positive thinking, which in turn will give you positive attitude followed by positive actions creating positive results.

Do any of the ANSWERS people agree with me? If not, Help me understand. Serious People only, please.?


It seems to me that everyone looks for some type of validation.Whether purpose or whether its superficial, we all have the desire to feel that there is nothing wrong with who we are or what we are doing. Let me inform you, external validation is nothing without self-validation.There are things about myself that I know need “tending to”, but at the end of the day, I am comfortable in my own skin. I have made peace with my flaws and have resolved myself to believe that I wouldnt be ME without those flaws. Flaws, in my eyes, are what makes us unique. If every female on the face of the earth was a size 5, blonde hair ,blue eyes, how would we differenciate who is WHO? Individual flaws tend to make us stand out. We have identifying characteristics.Sort of like a birthmark. I have a birthmark. Though its tiny, and cannot be seen unless I expose my mid-drift, I know that no matter what, there will never be another person in the WORLD with the same mark as me. There have been times in my life that my “flaws” were my “enemy”. Now they are part of me. I have made a conscious effort to “not fit in”. But in contrast, I did. I was a cheerleader, but other than required time, mainly practices and games, I never “hung out” with the other girls. I participated because I enjoyed the dances and the gymnastics involved. Not b/c I “couldnt live without that uniform”, but because it made me happy. I dont know if my outlook on life was because of the environment I grew up in or if it was a trait I was born with, but I like who I am. I never sacrifice my values or inner peace to make others happy. Im as straight forward as they get. You never have to wonder where you stand with me. Trust me, you will KNOW. But that is how I am and I dont spend half my life apologizing and the other doing the things I need to apologize for. What I say and do is with personal conviction.I must say that in sharing my “convictions”, others toes may have been stepped on. Though its not my intention to step on toes, I do have an uncanny knack at doing so.

The point I am trying to say, is that if you live your life for others, you lose yourself. This is where COMPROMISE comes in. There is a difference between living FOR others and living WITH others.You should never sacrifice YOURSELF to be with someone. Nor should they.However if you are determined to make a go of it, you must adapt. Give a little,get a little. Life is full of two way streets.You must make sure your significant other is traveling in the same direction. If they arent,but they are willing to compromise,it wont be too long before you and your mate are traveling together. Down the same street, with common goals, and a mutual respect for the others feelings and opinions.

Any relationship,even on its best day, is HARD work.However it is also the most rewarding. You get out of your relationship exactly what you put into it.

So if it doesnt work out,as long as effort was put into it, it wasnt time wasted.

It was a lesson learned. With that being said, if it doesnt work out, but you never took the time to invest in your relationship, then you can chalk it up to a big disappointment,and time that would have been better spent on knitting!

You live and learn. Mistakes will be made, flaws will be pointed out, and feelings will get hurt. But what you take away from those experiences will make you better equipped to handle the next obstacle….Bring the best out of yourself. Evolve.Adapt. And avoid putting yourself down. Daily affirmations from others and to yourself will assist you in all you do. Keep trying to JUST BE YOURSELF. Not what others WANT YOU TO BE.
im sorry it was so long. i will work on condensing my work…. Thanks Y’all.

Listed below are some of the measures that can be taken to achieve success by the power that positive thinking brings:


1. The first thing that you should do is to ensure that negative self-talk is completely eliminated from your vocabulary. Then, replace that talk with new, positive, “energy” words. These may include phrases like: “I can”, “I will”, “That is completely possible”, etc… .


2. When faced with a situation that you could potentially deem as “negative”, change your thoughts to looking at it as a “learning experience”. While this may seem a little challenging to do at first, it is completely possible. If you think about it, every “negative” experience can teach you something, and contribute to your personal growth and happiness.


3. Engage in media types that are positive and encouraging. This may include attending motivational speeches, reading inspiring books, and even watching movies that display strength, happiness, and similar emotions.


4. You should find the activities and other things in life that you are passionate about, and pursue those things. This will not only give you a great deal of happiness in your life, but it will maximize your potential for positive thinking.


5. Last, but not least, it is essential to ensure that you surround yourself with people, places, and things that help to contribute to the positive thoughts that you experience.


If you follow these simple steps, it is quite possible that you will find yourself on the road of becoming successful through positive thinking.

Wealth Education Using Affirmations

If you are a big fan of personal develoment wealth education courses, books and seminars, you probably would have probably known that great wealth education and personal development teachers such as Brian Tracy, Bob Proctor and Anthony Robbins have often talk about positive affirmations to attract wealth, health or whatever you desire. Is it true that you can attract anything that you desire?

To some people, using affirmations and visualization techniques to attract wealth and money are some kind of superstitious hocus pocus. However, many of these great create wealth coaches said that if you believe in the power of positive affirmation and practice them, your life can change for the better.

”It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.” said Anthony Robbins

So what are affirmations? Why are affirmations so powerful? Affirmations are statements of acceptance that you use to allow the manifestation of your desires be they money, love, health or anything else. Affirmations are powerful, positive thoughts and statements sent out by you to the universe.

To educate and practice positive affirmations, you will need to eliminate negative thoughts in your mind and things you say and do. You must believe that you and you alone can have your destiny and desires manifested. It must be a positive, powerful belief with unwavering faith. With positive affirmations together with creative visualizations, you can create and manifest abundance into your life.

If your desire is to attract wealth easily, then your affirmation will go something like: “I create wealth easily and effortlessly.” Repeat it several times while believing that you are already manifesting money. Start to visualize that money is already flowing to you and that you already have the money that you desire. Feel as though it has already happened. While in this mental condition, keep yourself open to all ways and means in which money can flow into your life.

It is important for the affirmations that you feel is appropriate to you. The affirmations must resonate with you or charge you emotionally.

Here are some manifesting money and wealth affirmations. It is better for you to compose your own affirmations because it will relate with you more so that you can feel more for it.

a) I am receiving creating wealth now.
b) I have an abundance of whatever I desire.
c) All my needs are being met now and I am grateful.
d) I have unlimited money and wealth .
e) I now give and receive freely.

You must believe you your affirmations for them to work. Make your affirmations only in the present tense because you are creating your future. This is also because if you make them in future tense, it shows a lack of confidence and your affirmations may never materialize. Do not get impatient and expect to see immediate results although you may see instant results, but for most of the time, it needs time for things to get organize.

Affirmations are futile if they fail to reach you deep enough to touch the limitless powers of your subconscious mind. Now that you know how to use affirmation, use it often if want to attract wealth and other positive desires into your life.

Life-Changing Positive Affirmations For A Positive You

The phrase “a million things on my mind” is nearer to the truth than you might actually think. Many thoughts do race through our minds, and while they may not exactly account for a million on a daily basis, our thoughts can run up to as many as 50,000 to 100,000, it’s mind boggling.


Even more to think about is that for most people, a lot of these daily thoughts border on the negative. No matter how poised and confident we try to look on the outside, not all of us are positive-thinking people. A lot of those racing thoughts are those of personal self doubt and insecurities, often hindering us from pushing ourselves to produce successful outcomes, no matter how small the task at hand is. We allow this negative attitude because we constantly think that we are always limited.


Positive people have different outlooks in life mainly because they have daily affirmations of what they are capable of, as a person of value. Such is a lesson we can take from their books, the power of affirmation. We who believe that we cannot hurdle the challenges life throws at us must learn how to change this line of thinking and replace it with a can-do attitude. Ask any person you think has achieved success on a personal attitude level and he/she will promptly reply that it has to do with shooing away the nagging thoughts and adding doses of constant self affirmation. Sure, we keep affirming ourselves everyday but stop and think; aren’t these affirmations more on what we lack personally rather than what we can appreciate about ourselves? That’s right, negative affirmations should have no place in our thoughts.


Overcoming negative affirmations requires a simple paradigm shift. That instead of telling ourselves “I can’t do it,” we say “yes, I can.” That instead of filling our thoughts with negative feedback, we fill them with good things. We all have talents and capabilities that would benefit others if only we could offer them, and we should believe that we can be life-changing people because we are capable of leaving an impact on society.


Making positive affirmations about ourselves is not that difficult at all. Simply form a list of all the self assuring I-ams you can muster and that are true to your person – I am a good person; I am a happy person; I am successful; I am kind; I am a self-starter – and repeat each of the phrases daily – like a mantra. It may sound awkward at first but soon enough you’ll get the hang of it.


Here’s another secret that will make your affirmations really work for you. This is, ultimately, your belief in what you created. These affirmations were made by you as a positive reinforcement to your life. Remember, they are only as strong as you have made them to be. Keep at it with those “I can’s” and soon enough, a lot more of those 50,000 daily thoughts will be filled with positive “I am’s.”
