Before you blow it off as more mumbo jumbo, I think I’ve included a summary to add a better concrete understanding for those of us that like to draw things on a board and hold things in our hands. No fair jumping ahead, you still need to read the entire article.

Positive Thoughts

The Encarta Dictionary defines the term “positive” as confident, optimistic, and focusing on the goods things rather than the bad. Therefore, positive thoughts are sets of ideas in the mind that brings confidence, optimism, and focus to an individual. Are you familiar with the song Beautiful by Christina Aguilera? This is a good example of a song with words pertaining to a positive outlook on how to see ones self.

The song begins like this:

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it’s hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down
So don’t you bring me down today

And it ends with:

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won’t bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can’t bring us down
Don’t you bring me down today

They say that beauty is relative and that it is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, like how Ms. Aguilera points out, we are all beautiful in our own way and we shouldn’t let anyone or anything bring us down. This is an example of a positive thought that brings positive outlook in life. With much of these, dealing with problems like making friends or finding true love or reaching goals, would not be as hard as it may seem. There will always be this so called “fighting spirit” to take away all fears and get rid of any insecurity that causes such problems.

Simple I can’s and I am’s shall be a great way to start cultivating our minds with positive thoughts. To add to our example above, optimistic thinking includes I am smart. I am open to new ideas and knowledge, I can stand out in a crowd, though not with my looks, but with my smile, and I can be noticed by anyone if I’ll crack clever jokes. It’s easy to fill our minds with positive thoughts, isn’t it? After all, most of the things in this world are relative.

Negative Thoughts

“Negative”, the opposite of positive, means being pessimistic or tending to have an undesirable outlook. Referring now to thoughts being generated in the mind, these are the unconstructive ideas that discourage an individual to be someone or do something. They pull him down so as not to believe in himself or in what he can do. They started with simple notions, were filled by wrong principles due to unpleasant experiences in life, until they take up and conquer his whole mindset. It’s bad enough that everyone possesses these thoughts but what’s worse is that not all can overcome them.

Usually, these negative thoughts are observable on people with expressions like I’m not good at anything. Science, Math, Speech, you name it. I can’t do it, I can’t face her. I’m just too shy. Will you just give her this for me, or What if I made a mistake? My boss will surely kill me.

No, not, don’t, can’t, won’t, and what if’s these are the usual manifestations of negative thinking. It’s as if they have this function to build a wall between you and the place you’re going; thus, holding you back from doing something without even trying. That’s how evil negative thoughts can be.

I know, you have heard it before. Back around 400 B.C. or so, you remember right, Buddha said – We are what we think. He is also attributed with – All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

You know this is true.

Listen to what you know to be true. Think the thoughts, follow the thoughts with action, and make your world what it should be.

I promised a concrete summary, and if you still don’t get it, here’s an option. It requires the assistance of someone with large feet, size 12 or 13 shoe should do. Now bend over…

Introduction

This is not leisure reading. This is a workbook. Unfortunately, that means you may have to do some work if you plan to get any benefit from it. I assure you that, even if you just do the exercises and never follow through, you’ll get significant benefit from it.

 

If you follow through, you may find that it will change your life. It may seem strange to start the process of helping you to achieve your goals by asking you to make a bunch of lists. Think of it as balancing the books. Without this, you won’t know what you’ve got to work with.

Someone once remarked that people spend more time planning a two week vacation than they do planning their futures. From what I’ve seen, this is almost universally true. The exceptions are the true successes in life.

As a side note – This was written originally for a business course, so the examples may tend to focus on business concepts. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that it’s only useful for business. You can use these same ideas, in exactly this same system, to achieve any goal you want.

Yes, any.

So, what do you really want?
