Positive Thinking Won’t Make You Rich… But This “Type” Of Thinking Will

Whenever you’re feeling down on your luck or efforts, how many times have you heard someone say, “Just be positive, it will all be okay”?

Or how many times have you told yourself to keep your chin up and that things would look better in due time?

1. On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the lowest) imagine you are a person with a level 2 strength of character and attitude looking at a level 5 problem. Would this problem appear to be big or little? From a level 2 perspective, a level 5 problem would seem like a big problem.
2. Now imagine you’ve grown yourself and become a person with a level 8 strength of character. Would the same level 5 problem be a big problem, or a little problem? Magically, the identical problem is now a little problem.
3. Finally, imagine that you’ve really worked hard on yourself and become a level 10 person. Now, is this same level 5 problem a big problem, or a little problem?

The answer is

I was done with positive thinking. And it was when I flipped that thought around, that things really started changing and looking up and the fun started.

With Positive Thinking:

• People use positive thinking to pretend that everything is rosy, when they really believe that it’s not.
• People believe that their thoughts are true.
