THE STRENGTH OF POSITIIVE THINKING

linkNumerous people know about with the power of thinking positively and most likely are cognizant

that it's in line with good health to be a positive that than negative individual.

Loads of those same individuals

may think that we can't change

and that if we have had a challenging life or a

bunch of bad events

then it's not worth knowing that thinking

positively is good because we just cannot change the way we

think!

Positive thinking concerns every phase of our lives

See, the thing is, real positive thinking isn't just something that can make a difference in our lives, it will certainly make ALL

OF THE DIFFERENCE. Just think about it. If an Individual

is presented with an opportunity in life they can choose to either take full

advantage of that opportunity or to allow it to to go

through their fingers. If they think they will fail or that life just wouldn't work out, that is thinking negatively

(and people who think negatively will always have lots of "reasons" (i.e. justifications) as to why it was

not really a good opportunity).

A bona fide positive person

on the contrary would not only take advantage of the new opportunity, but would milk it for all it is worth! A positive thinking individual says YES! while a negative

person says no. Negative people say no to new opportunity.

This brings to mind that Jim Carrey film where he

is required to say yes to any yes or no question asked of him as part of the

motivational curriculum he enrolled in at a

seminar. While this motion picture is somewhat

impractical in a lot of ways

the essential premise is based in reality.

Positive people that say "yes", have encounters that are

healthier than those who are programmed

to say "no".

The Power of Positive Thinking in My Life

For example, when I first traveled

to the nation of Vietnam in 2007 to make it on my own, there were fresh

experiences for me each and every day to meet new persons, start a new career,

or start up a new company. I saw so many opportunities that I was not sure

which ones to take advantage of first. So, I procured a teaching job for

a couple years until I discovered a new opportunity to co-found a company calledSaigon Sports

Academy.

After three years I had built that business up and sold off my stock for a nice profit. When I was first offered the chance

to open a sports training business by one of my co-founders, it was a risky move. I had a secure job teaching English as a native speaker that

paid well and I liked it very much. Why would I jeopardize losing that for an opportunity

to labor almost twice as many hours with no guarantee of success?

The reason is for the POSSIBILITIES! Not knowing what is going to happen but deciding YES anyways is what makes life worth living. It's true, the company could have failed and I would be left licking my wounds lamenting

over years of wasted time. But it really wouldn't have been a waste

of time anyway because you learn a great

deal through these kinds of life experiences.
