A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and
believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty.
Positive thinking is not accepted by everyone. Some, consider it as
nonsense, and scoff at people who follow it, but there is a growing
number of people, who accept positive thinking as a fact, and believe
in its effectiveness.
It seems that this subject is gaining popularity, as evidenced by the
many books, lectures and courses about it.
To use it in your life, you need more than just to be aware of its
existence. You need to adopt the attitude of positive thinking in
everything you do.
How Positive Thinking Works
The following story illustrates how this power works:
Allan applied for a new job, but he didn't believe he will get it, since
his self-esteem was low, and he considered himself as a failure and
unworthy of success.
He had a negative attitude toward himself, and therefore, believed
that the other applicants were better and more qualified than him.
Allan's mind was occupied with negative thoughts and fears
concerning the job, for the whole week preceding the job interview.
He actually, anticipated failure.
On the day of the interview, he got up late, and to his horror he
discovered that the shirt he planned to wear was dirty, and the other
one needed ironing. As it was already too late, he went out wearing a
wrinkled shirt and without eating breakfast.
During the interview, he was tense, negative, hungry and worried
about his shirt. All this, distracted his mind and made it difficult for
him to focus on the interview. His overall behavior made a bad
impression, and consequently, he materialized his fear and did not
get the job.
Jim applied for the same job too, but approached the matter in a
different way. He was sure that he was going to get the job. During
the week preceding the interview, he often visualized himself making
a good impression and getting the job.
In the evening before the interview, he prepared the clothes he was
going to wear, and went to sleep a little earlier. On day of the
interview, he woke up earlier than usual, and had ample time to eat
breakfast, and then to arrive to the interview before the scheduled
time.
Jim made a good impression and got the job.
What do we learn from these two stories? Was there any magic used?
No, everything happened in a natural way.
