Become Wealthy Through Positive Thinking and Desire

Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, believes that an individual does not have to be a genius to become rich. Anyone can get rich if he or she thinks positively and has a burning desire to accomplish his goal.

Positive Thinking: You have to visualize your financial goals and know that you can attain them. Own it.

If you begin making up every excuse under the sun why you cannot succeed, pinch yourself. You have to discipline your body and mind to think positive thoughts. You can achieve greatness, even if you aren't the smartest, most talented, or most attractive person on the planet. Success is your if you'll just allow it to come into your life.

Burning Desire: Napoleon Hill tells a true tale of a man named Edwin Barnes who desired to become Thomas Edison's partner. Probably all of us would have mocked him if we had lived in his time. Edwin Barnes was an unknown. However, he had a burning desire, a consuming obsession, and he was determined. He traveled to Thomas Edison and convinced him to hire him. He didn't immediately achieve his goal, but he worked hard and ultimately became Thomas Edison's partner. This was a feat everyone thought was impossible.

Edwin Barnes followed these seven steps to achieve success:

  1. Choose a definite dream.
  2. Put all your energy into that goal.
  3. Be content to go one step at a time.
  4. Visualize your dream.
  5. Form a plan.
  6. Stick it out.
  7. Remove any way to retreat.

 

As you focus on obtaining your goals, write down your answers to these questions: What is the exact amount of money I want? What am I willing to give for it? What exact date do I want this money by? What's my plan?

Don't forget, successful people do not believe in defeat. What looks like defeat is really a awesome opportunity. Start creating opportunities out of failures and becoming successful today!

    Make Positive Thinking A Habit

    Become positive in every situation, I know this may sound slightly mad and you are probably saying to yourself yes but if. Take it from me regardless of what happens in life you can take positive's from your experiences.

    Heres an example when we were children at some point we were confronted with something hot, hot water, fire, an oven and the chances are that as a child you will have been burnt on something, It could be said that getting burnt was a bad experience and you could have a negative view of it, then again the positive way to look at it is that now you know what the feeling is like and will take more care in the future, this is what i mean by using negative things and creating positive thoughts from them. If you are in a position where your life is out of control and it seems that every day is a bad day look for the good points as a way forward, the future can be a very clear exciting prospect if the right frame of mind is adopted, on those bad days look to the future and the experiences you are having will stand you in good stead.

    using your positive mind creatively well this has to be when you think to yourself about the future by being creative in your mind you will feel that anything is a possibility. I design Womens clothing and especially this time of year when the new ranges are coming out it good to be thinking positively that the next design is one of my best, sure this doesn't happen all the time but you learn more as you go along new techniques etc, using new materials etc but It wouldn't work If i wasn't positive. You will become a happier person the more you look at things in a positive way a few years ago I was married to the wrong person It was a time n my life when I thought that things were never going to get better and there was no way out, I look back at it now and what was so important then is so minor now, I moved on and found a ew life, but at the same time using the experience as a way of monitoring my way now. Being positive regardless of all the negativity around you will get you through and will be guiding your ship towards safe waters. The amazing part of this is that the more you do it the better things seem, and it becomes second nature, There's the added benefit of you always smiling.

    Positive Thinking on Negativity

    Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

    >>  Click Here To Discover How You Can Create The Life You Want <<

    The other day I bought an unusual piece of software: It runs positive affirmations on my computer, so they can influence me while I work. Sentences like “I am full of confidence” or “I love everyone I meet”. The kind that is supposed to help me so that I stop being negative. I liked the idea, but much to my surprise, it didn’t feel completely right. I just couldn’t understand why. After all, I was doing the right thing… I was, wasn’t I? I mean, I tried to ignore the not-so-positive thoughts I’m capable of, and I was reinforcing the good ones instead of. That’s good, isn’t it?

    Maybe not.

    Imagine we agree that, in order to prevent further killings in our world, we will remove every killer from the face of the earth. Kill the killer. If we do that consequently we will have to kill the person who killed the killer as well. In the end, there will be no one left here to enjoy the peace... What happens if we negate our negativity? For some reason it makes me think about the Middle East conflict. How did it all begin? Being Jewish I can see it from the Jewish point of view. Having been refugee earlier in my life, I can see it from the Palestinian point of view as well. But, I know very little about history or politics, so what I am going to say here is merely a picture, nothing more. This article is not about politics - it's about inner conflicts. That being said, here is my picture: I suppose it all started with the mutual lack of accept between the Jews and those around them. A conflict that often led to suppression, isolation, violence. Out of the conflict the idea emerged, that the only way to resolve it was to remove the problem. The Nazis tried to remove the problem by removing the Jews altogether. Some of the Jews decided to remove the problem by removing themselves from a hostile world and create their own home somewhere else. To ignore the negativity and to move to something more positive. Naturally they (and the United Nations) agreed on their biblical home: Israel. But, there were people having their home there already - the Palestinians. Now, all the Jews wanted was to live in peace, alone. So did the Palestinians, I’m sure. Apparently none of the parties wished to blend, to cherish and love each other, to share the home. Over time, the old negativity reappeared, the mutual lack of tolerance and understanding accelerated, leading to the bloody situation we witness today. Could it be, that trying to remove the problem doesn’t lead to peace? If I have a problem or if I see one, my immediate reaction is to do something about it. I want to get rid of it. I don’t want it to bother me. If I encounter negativity, within myself or within someone else, my spontaneous reaction is: Stop being negative! It’s only natural, isn’t it? We don’t want negativity. We want peace, happiness, joy of life, and love.

    But do I create joy of life by trying to remove negativity?

    In my experience, mostly it just leads to more negativity… Telling the negative person not to be negative certainly doesn’t help. Even only ignoring the negativity can make things worse. Thinking “I love everyone I meet” doesn’t lead to love if it is being said to suppress the part that does not love everyone. The only thing that does it is love itself. I don’t think love removes or ignores anything at all! Love just is. Love doesn’t fight those who fight. Love doesn’t turn its back on them either. Love embraces the battlefield. Love embraces everyone and everything.

    Which brings me back to where we started:

    Boy, would I love to say: “I love everyone I meet.” Only it wouldn’t be completely true. Cause pretty often I just can’t feel that love. So… So what if I say... it’s OK... My negativity is here to stay. Like a little rock inside of me. But then... Love is here to stay too! It’s like the air, all over, and within me too. (If I let it in, that is. If I don’t stop breathing.) If I don’t hide the rock, love will find it. And love doesn’t want to remove it at all. It loves that rock! (love just can’t help loving, you know). The rock can feel that... Little by little, without knowing it, the rock will feel it so much... ... it will become love itself... If you too have a rock inside you (maybe it's not a rock, it's just something that you don’t like)... Don’t hide it from yourself. Don’t ignore it. Feel it. Feel it for as long as it takes. Give it your love and attention. Then listen to some loving music (like New Age Music) and take a walk. Neither music nor nature will try to change you. They’ll embrace you. That’s just the way it is. Let them love every single part of you. But, you might say, I can’t possibly remember to be open all the time, and just to accept and love my negativity! Well, you could work with an affirmation like: "I love my negativity too" But you don’t have to, darling! Don’t worry! YOU ARE ALL RIGHT!

    The Power of Positive: Create Success With Positive Thinking

    Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

    >>  Click Here To Discover How You Can Create The Life You Want <<

    Can we create a better life through the power of positive thinking? Positive thinking is only a small portion of the process of conscious creation, but without it, we haven’t got a chance. People are more successful when they encourage themselves with positive thoughts and hold positive images of desired outcomes.

    Positive thinking is not a contemporary, new-age concept. In 1937, author Napoleon Hill wrote, “What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Buddha conceptualized, “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” Virgil (70 BC -19 BC), ancient Roman master poet wrote, “They can conquer who believe they can.” Throughout the ages, wise men and women have understood that success requires envisioning a positive outcome, and encouraging ourselves with positive expectations and beliefs.

    Yet, how often do we attempt to motivate ourselves with the opposite approach? We “hate” our bad habits, or “loathe” our bodies. We “can’t stop” or “can’t get started,” and conclude that we are “lazy” people! We call ourselves names, put ourselves down, and say things to ourselves that we would never say to anyone else! How blind we are to think this approach might work.

    So many of us continue to motivate ourselves to act or eat differently through fear, punishment, and negative thoughts. Motivating ourselves with criticism is ineffective in the long term. Focusing on bad habits and exaggerating our faults can not provide enough inspiration to fuel the entire journey toward success.

    Have you ever been in this situation? You’re driving along in your car, and all of a sudden you see a pothole. You’re looking directly at it thinking, “Don’t hit the pothole.” Yet sure enough, thud! your car drives right into it. We go where our attention is focused. Success requires shifting attention from what you don’t want to what you do want.

    Or let’s say you’re driving along and your goal is to avoid eating at fast food restaurants. In your thoughts are images of the restaurant and the words, “I’m not pulling in. I’m not doing it. I’m not eating that double cheeseburger, fries, with the vanilla shake today.” Chances are, you’re still saying those words as you pull into the drive through lane. The more you think about not seeing the fast food, not tasting the food, or not feeling the food, the more vivid the mental images of eating become. The harder you focus on what you don’t want, the more difficult it becomes to avoid what you don’t want.

    Instead, aim for the solution to your problems. Focus on your desired outcome. Put your attention on where you want to go, and what you want in your life. To achieve any desired outcome:

    1. accept and assess your current situation

    2. determine exactly what you want instead of what you don’t want

    3. use positive phrases and wording

    4. give the details of your vision (clarity)

    5. make your vision exciting and compelling!

    Sample Vision:

    1. I currently weigh _______ pounds. I decide to make peace with my now reality. It is what it is. I can’t change my current experience, but I can create a different future for myself.

    2. I decide to breathe, relax, and determine what I would wish to create as a future desired outcome.

    3. I imagine myself creating a new experience in which my body now weighs ______ pounds. I’m capable of creating a new outcome, and I deserve to have what I want.

    4. I look fantastic! I love the way I look and so does everyone around me! I’m more active than ever before! I’m doing fun and exciting things like playing tennis, practicing yoga, and enjoying morning walks. I feel so alive and healthy since I’ve begun eating light. I am living my dream! My food choices and my body reflect the joy and love I feel towards myself. Every day I become even more confident, assertive, and decisive in every situation.

    5. Everyday, I choose to spend time imagining myself living the type of life I deserve. I consciously put passion and energy into my imagined life. I notice the synchronicities that begin to occur, and I take action when and where I am inspired. I continue to pump energy into my desires, and keep myself motivated in all sorts of ways that feel good.
