Before Expecting Results From Positive Thinking Read This

Much has been said about the power of positive thinking and with The Law of Attraction now being so popular it is again a relevant topic. So why, when so many advocate this mental discipline does it seem to so often yield such poor results? Please allow me to address this.nnPositive thinking does not yield poor results is the answer, those who are not getting just fantastic results merely have not yet mastered the technique. A Boeing 747 jumbo jet will not fly in the hands of an untrained pilot. Nothing wrong with the engineering, nothing wrong with the potential pilot, simply a little more training is required. The same is true for positive thinking. The ability to think positively can be our greatest gift and our greatest asset when understood.nnTo understand this phenomenon better lets first look at what it is not. It is not senselessly thinking good when all evidence is to the contrary. No, this would be stupidity not positive thinking. This is our first mistake, reality must be acknowledged and dealt with. To think positively in a poor situation would be to hold fast to the to the end vision, realise that failure is a part of the success formula, look for the mistakes made and the lessons to be learned, then continuing with the plan unperturbed by this temporary set back. This is positive thinking. If we can consistently think in this way life will very quickly improve.nnAnother example of this would be with relationships. If we have a poor relationship of whatever kind, positive thinking is not to think good thoughts about an obviously bad situation. Positive thinking here is to hope for the best for all parties involved and again look to solutions to correct the situation, not reasons as to why the breakdown has occurred. Try to generate nice thoughts about the other party is well and good, but it is not enough nor is it effective positive thinking.nnThe big key here as with so many other areas of personal improvement is consistent action and forward progress. No system is going to work without massive action on behalf of the individual. This really is the problem, to many are looking for methods of “Get (fill in the blank) Quick” and it simply does not exist. Any thought, either positive or negative is useless unless backed by action. nnThink positively, act positively and receive gratefully, this is the formula. Follow this and success will quickly follow.nnLastly, remember it is ourselves we are aiming to change, not others. Seek to become more patient and more tolerant, work on yourself. nnFor more on this and other topics visit Dream-Life-Coaching.com nnnnnn
