PART ONE
A life of success and achievement is a direct result of
utilizing the power of positive thinking. The most important asset you have in
your quest to live your dreams? It’s right under your nose. Actually your nose
is part of it. It’s simply – YOU. More specifically YOUR MIND.
THE POWERHOUSE TO YOUR DREAMS - YOUR
MIND AND THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING.
Your thoughts are the most important asset you have in your
desire to achieve your dreams. They affect you in ways you never thought
possible. The truth is, whether you know it or not, your thoughts are
responsible for whatever place or situation you are in right now.
Nobody would argue that electricity exists. You can’t touch,
smell, hear or see it, but its effects are evident everywhere you look. Its
power is evident everywhere you look.
In the same way, your thoughts are energy. Your thoughts drive
your life just as electricity drives a motor. That is the power there is in
having apositive mental attitude.
Yes, I am not the first one to say this and I bet I won’t be the last either. You know why? Because it is true. It’s simple, but true. There is power in thoughts; in negative and in positive thinking. Choose positive thinking and you will enjoy positive energy and positive results.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK. This is one of my
favorite positive thinking quotes:
- If you think you are beaten you are
- If you think you dare not, you don't
- If you want to win but think you can't
- It's almost a cinch you won't
- If you think you'll lose you're lost
- For out of the world we find
- Success begins with a fellow's will
- It's all in a state of mind
- Life's battles don't always go
- To the stronger and faster man
- But sooner or later the man who wins
- Is the man who thinks he can

PART TWO - Power of positive thinking
James Allen describes one of the best analogies on the power
of positive thinking that I have ever read in his timeless classic “As a Man
Thinketh.” He likens the mind to a garden. If planted with beautiful plants and
carefully nurtured and tended to, the garden will yield beautiful flowers and
be a place of comfort, beauty and peace. If neglected, weeds will creep in and
destroy the beauty and yield thorns, destruction and harshness. Of-course, some
twisted or strange gardener may actually deliberately plant weeds and
unpleasant plants.
It is the same with the mind. If you plant beautiful,
healthy thoughts into your mind you will reap a beautiful, healthy life. If you
plant negative thoughts you will reap destruction and despair in your life. If
you neglect to feed your mind healthy thoughts and to protect it from negative
thoughts, the weeds of destruction will creep in and choke your mind. Another
way thoughts can be planted in your mind is through subliminal
messages.
The power of positive thinking will yield good results in the same way that negative thinking will yield bad results.
The power of positive thinking will yield good results in the same way that negative thinking will yield bad results.
You cannot sow poison ivy and hope to reap apples. You
cannot think negative thoughts and hope to live a positive life. Seedtime and
harvest are the laws we live by. You reap what you sow. You live what you
think.You live what you say. That is why it is
important to say the right things and sometimes we have to make a deliberate
effort to do so through positive affirmations
Here is a quote that can be related to the power of positive
thinking:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Here’s another quote illustrating the power of positive
thinking:
- Finally, brethren
- whatsoever things are true
- whatsoever things are honest
- whatsoever things are just
- whatsoever things are pure
- whatsoever things are lovely
- whatsoever things are of good report
- if there be any virtue
- and if there be any praise think on these things
Any self-improvement program or journey of personal
development starts with your thoughts. Master your thoughts first. Then you can
master your environment and circumstances. Self motivation is easy if you have
this step figured out.
Realize that your thoughts are under your control. If you
don’t, you will be under the control of your thoughts! Realize what the power
of positive thinking can do to change your life and give you a brighter future
– the kind of future you want!
YOU ARE IN CONTROL - HARNESS THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL - HARNESS THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING.
Isn’t that good news? That means YOU are in control. Not
fate. Not lady luck. YOU. If you can think it, you can have it!

Napoleon Hill.
That has got to be the best positive thinking quote ever.
It’s short and to the point, yet so powerful and true. Absorb it. Memorize it.
Live by it!
Negative thoughts as well as positive thoughts will bear
fruit. Conceive negative – achieve negative. Conceive positive – achieve
positive. Positive thinking is the key. Norman Vincent Peale knew this when he
wrote his classic book - The power of Positive Thinking
Self motivation begins with believing in yourself.
DEVELOP THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING - THINK THE RIGHT THOUGHTS.
Self motivation begins with believing in yourself.
DEVELOP THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING - THINK THE RIGHT THOUGHTS.
There are many techniques that I have come across to do
this. Some of the most practical are:
- Expose your mind to the right things.
- Watch the right movies.
- Listen to the right music.
- Read the right books.
- Associate with the right people.
Stay away from negative people – they will drain you
of your energy and drag you down with them. Avoid them like the plague.
Thinking right is not a quick-fix process. You cannot change
20 year old habits in one week. You should not attempt to. It will frustrate
you. Start slowly. Before long, it will become a habit to think right. Don’t
get discouraged if you struggle a little with it. It takes time. It is a lifelong
process.
It is a way of life. It only ends when you die. Persevere.
Anything that is not in harmony with your dreams and desires
– throw it out. Weed it out of your mind. Continually work at it and you will
develop abeautiful mind. You will develop a mind that will deliver to
you the power of positive thinking and all the lovely things that go with it.
"Your thoughts
are the architects of your destiny".
David O. McKay
