Start thinking positive, three simple words that can change the course of your entire life! Positive thinking is powerful, it can turn the worst of times into the best of times and all it takes is a shift in the pattern of your thoughts.

If you are not happy there is only one person that can change how you feel and that person is you.

Sure it’s much easier to blame someone else or something else for how you feel at any given moment but you know in your heart that is not how it works.

We cannot always control the outer events of our lives however we can control how we react to those events. Things will go wrong at times that’s life but if you prepare yourself in advance it will be much easier to deal with problems when they do occur.

How do you prepare yourself for difficult times?

Three simple words, start thinking positive or to make things even easier begin to practice thinking positive. The human mind is incredible and you have more strength than you could possibly imagine.

We all have the ability to develop new habits and that’s all positive thinking really is, a habit. People have the tendency to associate the word habit with bad things.

You hear people say things like; I have to break this terrible smoking habit or drinking or gambling but you never really hear anyone say they have to work on developing the habit of finding the good in every situation. Now that would be a terrific habit to work towards.

I have an assignment for you, over the next few days try to think of some good habits you could work on developing. Keep a small notepad with you and whenever something pops into your mind jot it down. After doing this for a week or so you should pick one item from your list and commit to making it your new habit.

A great place to start would be with your thoughts. Why not make it your goal?

Write it down, make a commitment to yourself, give yourself the next three weeks to develop the habit to start thinking positive.

Do you know it only takes the human mind about 21 days to develop a new habit. If you want to live a happier and more fulfilled life all it takes is a little effort on your part.

So do you want to start thinking positive?

If you change your thoughts you can change your life! Everything in life is a choice and that includes being happy or sad.

Happiness comes when we decide to accept it into our lives.

The happiness habit is developed by simply practicing happy thinking. Make a mental list of happy thoughts and pass them through your mind several times every day.

If an unhappy thought should enter your mind, immediately stop, consciously eject it, and substitute a happiness thought.

Every morning before arising, lie relaxed in bed and deliberately drop happy thoughts into your conscious mind.

Let a series of pictures pass across your mind of each happy experience you expect to have during the day. Saver their joy. Such thoughts will help cause events to turn out that way.

Develop The Habit To Start Thinking Positive And Take Charge of Your Thoughts!

The following mix of positive thoughts, quotes and happy little stories is a great place to get started with your new goal and personal commitment to taking charge of your thoughts!

William Shakespeare once said:

There Is Nothing Either Good Or Bad, But Thinking Makes It So.

Whatever else you do or forebear, impose upon yourself the task of happiness; and now and then abandon yourself to the joy of laughter.

Start Thinking Positive

And however much you condemn the evil in the world, remember that the world is not all evil, that somewhere children are at play, as you yourself in the old days; that women still find joy in the stalwart hearts of men;

And that men, treading with restless feet their many paths, may yet find refuge from the storms of the world in the cheerful house of love.

Max Ehrmann

Difficult Times Don’t Last Forever!

Sometimes the problems you must face are more than you wish to cope with, and tomorrow doesn’t seem to offer any solutions.

You may ask yourself “why me?” but the answer is sometimes unclear. You may even tend to feel that life hasn’t been just or fair to burden you with such obstacles.

Finish every day and be done with it, you have done what you could. The present day is all that is good and fair, it is filled with hopes and invitations its to dear to waste its moments on the yesterdays.

Start Thinking Positive!

Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and with a manly heart.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Positive Thinking Is………….

  • the key which unlocks the doors of the world. There is something in us which corresponds to that which is around us, beneath us, and above us. Samuel McChord Crothers
  • a habit, like any other; we can practice it every day until it becomes second nature to us—and along the way transform our lives. Washington L. Crowley
  • knowing that, in the grand scheme or things, we live in a world where rainy days eventually give way to sunnier skies. R. L. Keith
  • the most effective tool ever created for lifting an individual to the greatest achievements humanity can aspire to. Montaque Edwards
  • the ultimate triumph of mind over matter; the victory of the spirit over all the shadows lurking in the world. Martin A. Browning
  • not always the easiest course of action when confronting difficulties. If, however, we can remain focused on keeping hope strong and not succumbing to negative influences, we will meet with success in dealing with anything life may throw in our path. Hiram Rogers Lloyd
