Positive Thinking

Positive Thinking Creates Positive Results

Article originally written for a former website.

In life, for most of us, opportunities are not handed to us on a silver platter. Most of us have had to work hard for the things that we have achieved, and continue to work hard to maintain the lifestyle that we currently live. Hard work and dedication are two major roles played helping us to get ahead in todays competitive world. However, there are quite a few people who overlook another very important factor that helps us achieve, and can create great results for us in our working and everyday lives. That is, positive thinking.

Positive thinking defined literally from Webster's Dictionary is as follows:
Positive - firmly laid down; definite; absolute, unquestionable; over confident; not negative
Thinking - have one's mind at work; reflect; hold an opinion; conceive or consider in the mind

Positive thinking as a combined definition is the act of creating a positive mental thought process in order create change in a persons life by making positive mental statements and suggestions to help achieve an affirmative result.

What does all this mean to an average person, business owner, employee? Changing your thought process can have a huge impact on your mental as well as physical and psychological condition. Changing a thought process from negative to positive can help to ease stress, can help to put us in a better frame of mind, and can help achieve results that we never thought possible.

By utilizing the method of positive thinking in day to day activities including work, sports, school, home life, etc. we can achieve a better "state of being", if you will, and our positive thinking will have obvious results on those around us as well. When you are negative, stressed, angry or tense, you affect those around you. Though you may think that your mood or mind set has no impact on others, all one has to do is look at a parent child relationship, and see how the parents mind set affects the child.

So on days when you feel the world is out to get you, or if you are feeling stressed about an upcoming presentation, job interview or just need a pick me up, take a 5 minute break, visualize a positive outcome, mentally reassure yourself that you can achieve what you need and want, and you will be surprised at what you can accomplish with this type of attitude and mind set.

Remember the old saying, "you catch more flies with honey than you do with manure" ... honey is the positive, the flies are your goals, dreams and furture accomplishments, the manure is, of course, the negative, and look where that gets you. If you need more flies, honey is the way to go!
