There are a lot of people talking about positve thinking these days and I have to admit it, I LOVE IT. Is there anything better than positive thinking? I'm not talking about sitting around saying, "Everything is Wonderful" 700 times while your world is slowly caving in around you. I'm talking about positive thinking where you make a decision and leave all doubts behind. I'm talking about positive thinking where you set a goal and start taking positve action, confident that no matter what you are going to succeed. The path to success may not be smooth but you have made up your mind, so setbacks aren't going to bother you.
When an infant begins to walk there is a lot of trial and error before they finally make it to their feet and walk. Even then there are many falls before they really own the skill. The point is failure wasn't an option. Nobody says to a child after 150 stumbles, "I guess you just aren't going to walk." Nobody is in any doubt that eventually the child will walk. That's positive thinking. Being 100% positive that things are going to work out. When you are sure of something, completely committed to the outcome, anything is possible.
Have you ever noticed that the areas in your life where you are the most successful are that areas in your life that are completely non-negotiable. At some point you made a decision to do something or be something and you didn't look back. When something didn't work out you tried something else, until you found the thing that worked. Giving up was not an option. Isn't that really what "gets it done", when you get down to the truth of it.
Here is my challenge to you: What is the one area in your life that you have been struggling with that you would really like to be successful at? How differnent would your life be if you were successful in this area? If you were absolutely guaranteed to be successful at it as long as you "worked hard", what wouldn't you be willing to do. What are you waiting for? Make the decision - you and you alone are the only one who can guarantee your success. Make the decision, get 100% positive about the result and go get your dream. It's waiting for you!
Some excellent points here. I just bought the book "THE SECRET" unfortunately it is still a secret to me because i havent had the time to read it!
I do beleive in trying and working hard for the things you want, it makes it that much sweeter if you obtain your goals, however once you reach your goals you need to reach further.
Something to think about.... don't you notice some people dont even try and a great deal of business comes their way? I see it all the time in my office. I beleive that some people ARE destined for success, some people arent, but no matter, you must try.
I have read so many different theories on winning and losing...and its not that some people are not trying, maybe they are trying to hard at the wrong things...

Dave!
I do think things are easier when you are doing the thing you were meant to do. That has definately been true for me. But I also believe that we win or lose (no matter what the game) in our own heads.
Like you I believe in hard work, I think its crucial to be willing to do the work. But I also think the work should make you happy.
Let me know what you think of "The Secret" Thanks for reading my blog!
