The Power of Positive Thinking

Found this while clearing out an old family storage unit.

Cover tattered. Dust all over.

Two decades in a box and then it was in my hands.

I knew I had to read it.

Here are a few lessons I took away to share with YOU 👇🏻
This book has a lot of similar themes from other favorites of mine (The Magic of Thinking Big, Think and Grow Rich).

Each was written decades ago but is SO TRUE today.

Main theme: Mindset is everything.

You are what you think.

👇🏻
The older and wiser I get, the more this fact becomes undeniable.

The most successful people I know have the strongest beliefs in themselves.

And those that lost it? They usually lost the belief.

This isn’t by accident.
1️⃣ The importance of belief.

As they say, what you think... you are.

You MUST think positively about yourself and your ability if you are to find and keep success.

Look at the most successful athletes (Lebron James, etc).

They have unshakable belief in themselves.
2️⃣ The impact of writing it down and repeating it.

This is another theme present in other texts.

Positive affirmations and utilizing visualization to generate good outcomes can have a real impact.

Write down what you seek and what you should believe.

Repeat often.
3️⃣ The need to have others in your corner to think positive with you.

The “mastermind group”. The “prayer circle”. The think tank.

All plays on the same idea — people together thinking power thoughts.

Whether you think it’s a higher power or something else, it works.
4️⃣ Act as though you’ve already gotten what you wanted, before you have.

Similar to the idea of faith, it’s knowing you will get it rather than hoping.

Start acting with confidence long enough and things fall into place.

Doubt, and it’ll always be out of reach.
5️⃣ The power of NEGATIVE thinking

One thing is for sure. If you think negative, you’ll get it.

The black cloud mentality is real and you should avoid it at all costs.

The more you realize this, the more you see examples in people around you.
6️⃣ The higher power.

For many, there come times and situations where belief is not enough.

That’s where belief in a higher power, whether religious or not, is essential.

Believing that miracles outside of conventional possibility can come true.
While this text certainly has religious themes,

Its a must read for all.

If mindset is what you seek, this book, like the others mentioned, helps solidify the rules for crafting a strong mind.

Don’t let your mind be the reason you don’t find success

THINK POSITIVE.
