Ways to Gain Positive Thinking
Ways to Gain Positive Thinking
Daily Gratitude. There is so much good and beautiful inside of us and our lives… and so often we choose not to notice it. Look around and you’ll see that you are surrounded by many wondrous things! Give thanks for the skills and talents that you possess. For example, “Today I am grateful for the crisp breeze blowing through the trees that cools the air and brings refreshment” or “Today I appreciate the stranger who smiled at me as we passed each other in the grocery store.”
Feel your Negative Feelings. When you are really in the dumps, do not try to use positive thinking to make the dumps go away. This kind of positive thinking inevitably leads to more disappointment because it does not provide the motivating/fulfilling energy needed to sustain it! Instead, embrace how you feel. Discover your unmet needs that are creating your feelings. Learn to meet those needs in empowering ways. Then, write Truth affirmations about your strength, courage and insights.
Truth affirmations, these are brief, true statements about you, your life and the people in it based upon actual experiences, daily acknowledgments and gratitude’s. The truth is that you KNOW you can accomplish anything and manage any life lesson that comes your way. It is just that sometimes we lose sight of this truth of our own being and need reinforcement. If you are already writing daily gratitude’s and acknowledgments, you’ll have lots of material to create Truth affirmations. Examples: “I am strong.” “I have many supportive relationships.”

LABOR THAT WORKS MIRACLES by Jim Rohn
Labor That works Miracles by Jim Rohn..
Two thousand years ago on April 15th one of Jesus’ disciples came to him and said it was time to pay taxes (that’s how I know it was around April 15th), but they had no money. In response to his disciple’s statement Jesus said “no problem”. Now why could he say “no problem”? Well, word had it that Jesus was a miracle worker. If you hand a problem to a miracle worker what they are inclined to say is “no problem”. You’ve got to hang out with people like that.
I belong to a small group and we do business around the world. These guys are all miracle workers. What an incredible group. If you hand any of them a problem guess what they say, “no problem”. How many books will they read to solve a problem? As many as it takes. If they need to consult – how much consulting will they do? As much as it takes. How early will they get up? As early as it takes. “No problem”… you got to hang out with people like that. You cannot believe the thrill of being associated with miracle workers, people who will do whatever it takes to get the job done and perform miracles.
When asked about paying the taxes Jesus said it was “no problem”. In fact, he said it was going to be easy – he told the disciple to just go fishing. Now it couldn’t have been any easier than that, especially for this disciple whose name was Peter, because Peter was a fisherman. Now if you can fish and you should fish and you don’t fish – then that is why you do not get a miracle. But Jesus told his disciple to go fishing and the first fish that he caught to look in its mouth. Peter, who was used to strange things happening, agreed. Well, the first fish Peter catches, he looks in its mouth and finds coins. Peter then adds up the coins and they are exactly enough to pay his and Jesus’ taxes.
“Wow!”, you might say, “That is a miracle!” Here is why we call it a miracle – simply because we don’t quite understand how it works. That’s all. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t work, it just means we don’t quite understand how it works. Which is true of all miracles. In fact, for most of us – our whole life is a miracle.
How about this miracle…God says if you plant the seed I will make the tree. Wow, you can’t have a better arrangement than that. First, it gives God the tough end of the deal. What if you had to make a tree? That would keep you up late at night trying to figure out how to make a tree. God says, “No, leave the miracle part to me. I’ve got the seed, the soil, the sunshine, the rain and the seasons. I’m God and all this miracles stuff is easy for me. I have reserved something very special for you and that is to plant the seed.”
I have found in life that if you want a miracle you first need to do whatever it is you can do – if that’s to plant, then plant; if it is to read, then read; if it is to change, then change; if it is to study, then study; if it is to work, then work; whatever you have to do. And then you will be well on your way of doing the labor that works miracles.

The Building of a bridge
Have you ever compared being the best we can be in life to the building of a bridge? A railroad bridge.
If you leave out a center section, and that section is over a river, the train is going to go right smack into the river no matter how well all the rest of the span is built. This is not much different than all the tools and systems that in business we need to build a solid, permanent, cohesive, and long-term paying-off sales organization.
If you don’t get from one side of the river to the other, whatever the reason, it doesn’t make any difference how good some parts of the bridge are.
They can be world class and still be useless. In other words, the best tools in the world, if they are not fitted into a system, and if people are not taught how to use those tools, are useless.
What does being the best we can be have to do with bridges/trains?
You are the train. The locomotive. You are pulling a whole string of cars behind you.
You are the leader. You are pulling, much of the time, not just leading by brute force.
You can get a huge string of trains moving, very fast.
Masters teach people how to build their own bridges.
The reason Masters seem to work so little, or work so easily, is that they do not use brute force unless they must take a stand on principle. They may have, early in their careers, but they learned that they will burn themselves out if they continue on that path.
Some people, run around, trying to figure out what to do first, totally unaware that his/her fundamental need in the beginning was to sit down and draw up a plan. Instead, they go running off and thinks taking “action” is something that gets recognition.
Because something is easy to do does not make it the smart thing to do. It just makes it easy. And, fun. At least for a while.
Taking action and getting no results is silly. If what you are doing is not working, stop, look at what you are doing and find another path. Surely there is a roadmap to follow. Just keep building relationships like bridges. You have to build the whole bridge to make it work. Build relationships, help people get what they want and you will get everything you ever dreamed of!

THREE STEPS TO ENHANCING YOUR PERSONAL PERFORMANCE! by Jerry Clark
Today’s article is three steps to enhancing your personal performance by Jerry Clark.
1. CLARITY OF OUTCOME: Before you begin any endeavor, know in advance exactly what you expect your outcome to be. By getting clear on your outcome, you will be using the awesome force of what I call the FUTURE PULL…In other words, the future you create for yourself pulls you closer to it and empowers you to take the proper actions in the present…So before you do anything else as it relates to your personal or professional life, take time to get crystal clear on what your desired outcome will be…See it in your mind’s eye until you feel really emotional about it…
2. CONSOLIDATION OF POWER: This is a fancy word I learned in 1982 while taking Martial Arts. It simply means FOCUS…Since you have a certain amount of time, energy, and money to devote towards accomplishing your outcome, it’s important to know which activities you should direct your resources towards. If you don’t take the time to determine which of the multitude of possible activities will provide you with the highest payoff, you may find yourself squandering much of your resources. Thus, apply the 80/20 rule here. The 80/20 rule states that 80% of your results will come from 20% of your activities. Therefore, it’s important for you to CONCENTRATE your efforts on the 20% of the activities that will get you 80% of the results. Most people concentrate on the 80% of the activities that will get them only 20% of the results… In a nutshell, 80% of your time should be spent on the following activities: (a) Using and Sharing your products (b) Exposing people to your opportunity (c) Attending and Promoting events (d) Engaging in personal development and (e) Learning and Teaching the system your company and support team members have set up for you…These are the high payoff or revenue producing activities…You can file your product orders and clean out your desk after hours…I.E., during non-revenue producing time…
3. COMMITMENT TO DISCIPLINES: This is where you actually EXECUTE your action plan…Once you know which areas you will be focused on, you can now get busy by moving ahead in those areas…It’s important to remember that consistency is the key at this stage. By doing the small simple disciplines on a daily basis, eventually the compounded effect will kick in and you will COLLECT YOUR OUTCOME… Every day in every way, you’re either performing simple disciplines or simple error in judgments…Apply this simple three-step process and watch what happens to your personal performance levels…
Until next time
Go, Go, Go

Million Dollar Skills
As I share this information with you on Million Dollar Skills, I don’t want you to feel like I’m your strict parent about to give you a lecture on your work ethic.
Not at all.
Actually, I just want you to remember a few key things that you may have already picked up in your entrepreneurial journey that many of us need to revisit.
These are the things I have learned along the way and continue to remind myself to do on a daily basis…
Things I learned from top leaders, mentors (not necessarily ‘gurus’) and those who are actually out there doing stuff…
The words themselves are not that glitzy or glamorous, but they mean a lot to you in terms of how you perceive your own business and the services provided by others.
I’m talking about the SKILL of taking personal responsibility.
And yes, I do mean it as a SKILL that can be learned.
No matter where you run your business, on or offline, you will have a much better experience when you maintain an ethic of personal responsibility.
Personal responsibility, for your business and yourself, is going to make a huge difference in the way that you select your gurus, tools, and courses of choice as you become a more experienced entrepreneur.
As you build on this ethic, several strategies are involved, such as:
* Building up core personality skills that will help you in your business and even other important parts of your life.
* Not blaming tools, courses, or gurus for any failures you experience.
* Understanding that just as many people make money online as they can offline, and vice versa.
* Careful reading of copy writing in sales letters and email offers.
Core personality skills you should have as an entrepreneur.
You need these skills under your belt because they will make many tasks so much easier to complete and will improve your relationships with prospects and business partners.
-Communication with Others:
Be clear, direct, and concise.
You want to be understood as you deliver your messages.
Emails to your contacts should be insightful, informative (as necessary), and not pushy.
Your phone calls should usually be scheduled and follow an agenda.
If you drag on for too long over the phone, you will feel burnt out and so will the other person.
Emails and phone calls are great when they follow a structure and provide valuable information to the other person.
-Not Blaming Others:
Maybe a popular course, product, or service caught your attention.
You invested in it and it didn’t work.
It won’t make sense to assign blame to something if it has worked well for many others.
Determine first that you followed all the steps before you declare that it is “useless.”
If your investment isn’t a good fit for your personality or your business, review the refund policy carefully…
But again, don’t assign blame to external forces (such as the company from which you made the purchase).
In the end, it’s really not their fault if you did not take the necessary steps to make sure you would be ok if you changed your mind about buying the tools they offered. Take control of the matter and review your options carefully.
-Understanding money is made and lost online and offline:
Some of us might not succeed with our first online business, and that is okay.
Many wealthy entrepreneurs had to go through more than one opportunity before landing on the business that worked the best for them and brought them the results they desired.
That’s one of the great things about the network marketing industry.
You can start in a home business right away and the startup costs are almost always affordable.
This makes it easier for you to try out different things until you land on what feels the most natural and best matches your passions.
You can also run an offline business with just as much success as an Internet-based business.
Many people have started restaurants and boutiques with great success and despite any economic shifts, continue to do really well.
-Reading and Writing Copywriting:
At this point you may have already gone through several sales letters about amazing support systems, tools for Internet marketing, or even personal development, and a lot of these are offered by “gurus.”
As you read the sales page, you have the opportunity to determine something about the expert offering the product or service and know right away whether they are a good match for you.
Some questions to consider are,
“Does this person speak to my passions?”
“Do I fully understand and relate to his/her message?”
“Is this a service/tool/course that speaks to the needs of my business?”
Not surprisingly, many people are quick to purchase something without reading the sales letter carefully.
They don’t take a moment to know the refund policy and when they do receive the course, they find that can’t make any use of it and become upset. This channels you back to the issue of not blaming others.
We all have a great level of responsibility for the investments we make, whether it’s a home business opportunity or tools for personal and/or business development.
Those entrepreneurs who refuse to take responsibility for these choices will continue to repeat a cycle of failure that will undoubtedly be hurtful to many of their business endeavors.
Bottom Line?
We are all human beings, and as such we are prone to being flawed.
This is not a bad thing at all, but the solution is to become aware of those flaws and become better people when we know our weak points.
The better you know your strengths, the more likely you are to select the gurus, tools, courses that best fit your personality type.
And the more aware you are of the differences in personality types, the better you will select the people who will join your business organization and cause it to thrive.

The Ability To Take Action
Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the ability to take action. You don’t need to be hasty if it isn’t required, but you don’t want to lose much time either. Here’s the time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.
Let’s say you would like to build your library. If that is a strong desire for you, what you’ve got to do is get the first book. Then get the second book. Take action as soon as possible, before the feeling passes and before the idea dims. If you don’t, here’s what happens -
- YOU FALL PREY TO THE LAW OF DIMINISHING INTENT -
We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to do something when the emotion is high. But if we don’t translate that intention into action fairly soon, the urgency starts to diminish. A month from now the passion is cold. A year from now it can’t be found.
So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody talks about good health and you’re motivated by it, you need to get a book on nutrition. Get the book before the idea passes, before the emotion gets cold. Begin the process. Fall on the floor and do some push-ups. You’ve got to take action; otherwise the wisdom is wasted. The emotion soon passes unless you apply it to a disciplined activity. Discipline enables you to capture the emotion and the wisdom and translate them into action.
The key is to increase your motivation by quickly setting up the disciplines. By doing so, you’ve started a whole new life process.
Here is the greatest value of discipline: self-worth, also known as self-esteem. Many people who are teaching self-esteem these days don’t connect it to discipline. But once we sense the least lack of discipline within ourselves, it starts to erode our psyche. One of the greatest temptations is to just ease up a little bit. Instead of doing your best, you allow yourself to do just a little less than your best. Sure enough, you’ve started in the slightest way to decrease your sense of self-worth.
There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect starts as an infection. If you don’t take care of it, it becomes a disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of all, when neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.
Once this has happened, how can you regain your self-respect? All you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline that corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment: “I will discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the years ahead I can celebrate my successes.”

Smart Work Equals Positive Results
There is great information on this posting that I titled Smart Work Equals Positive Results . The article was written by Michael Force one of my favorite’s. We can all gain benefit by following Michael’s advice.
I believe in the power of thinking positively. Being able to see the present and the future with optimistic eyes is what sets entrepreneurs apart from the majority of people who hang on to their corporate jobs no matter what.
It takes positive thinking to see the opportunities around us and to act on those opportunities.
And it certainly takes an optimistic mind set to continue to see those opportunities no matter what the economy looks like in a given month or year.
But while I believe that there are things we can change by changing our outlook on life, I also know that positive thinking alone isn’t enough.
Sitting around all day and meditating about what you want in life might be relaxing. But it’s not going to get you anywhere unless you’re willing to put some mental muscle behind those dreams.
Few things irritate me more than a get-rich-quick attitude. If someone wants to start an online business with the attitude that all they have to do is put up a website and wait for money to fall from the sky—well, I’ve got better things to do with my time than waste it on that person.
The fact is, though, that there are a lot of people out there who start businesses, work their butts off, and fail. So what was the problem?
Of course, the specific problem is going to depend on the specific individual and their specific business. But overall, one of the biggest mistakes I see new entrepreneurs make is that they don’t work smart.
They work hard, yes. Admirably hard. But at the end of their very long days, they frequently find that they have less to show for their efforts than they would have had in a corporate job.
With that in mind, here are some things you can do to make sure you’re working smart:
1. Keep your primary goals for your business in the front of your mind at all times. Even I sometimes need to restrain myself from jumping at a shiny new opportunity. I know how distracting these potential opportunities can be! But you need to be successful at your first goals before you start adding goals.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t change goals if it’s necessary. Just be careful when you do it.
2. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Hire the best people you can afford to for the work you don’t have the expertise for, from accounting to (probably) copy writing. Don’t spend your time reinventing a wheel badly when experts can do the job for you the right way.
3. Create a schedule for yourself and stick with it. Yes, I know you became an entrepreneur because you want to work when and where you want to work. And that’s fine. But in this case you’re the one creating the schedule—and the only one you have to answer to is you.
Don’t let what I’ve just said make you think that owning your own business is drudgery. If you’re not having fun, you’re doing something wrong. But if you harness the power of your positive thoughts to smart, consistent work, chances are that you’re going to be a star.

Create The Right Life
Being faithful to your goals and dreams is a great article by Ed Hirsch. Ed explains how to create the right life.
Being faithful to your goals and Dreams sometimes means sacrificing comfort and convenience (at least for the short term). To live the life you most aspire to, you need to do specific things, in a specific way, in order for them to turn out.
Think back and remember things that happened in your past, to those periods of time when you wasted time and money, and then had to somehow figure out a way to rework your misguided ways, overcoming to make things RIGHT.
What specific things need be done NOW in your life?
Do you know…are you willing to find out?
What if you’re wrong (again)?
You need mentors.
Not only for your business career, also for your Life’s balance to ensure that what you earn, you keep. What you keep must be re-worked, re-invested (throw some compound interest & geometric progression in there too) for continued and sustaining growth and prosperity.
Are YOU WILLING to move toward the balance that life affords, as is nature itself?
What is your perception of balance in your own individual life? Know anyone who has it?
What are the specific excuses you come up with in your mind to avoid the disciplines in business, family, health, God, contribution, etc…(whatever it is you hold dear and most significant/important to the essence of who you ARE)?
There is a RIGHT way to live that balanced life I suggest.
However, it usually cannot all be learned from one (1) individual (mentor). Mostly, it requires a concerted effort to SPECIFICALLY identify the parameters of balance. Earning and having a lot of Money is ONLY ONE part of balance.
Your specific thoughts, intentions, words, movements, actions, plans, goals, Dreams…day in, day out…if done RIGHT, will move you where?
What do YOU think?
Being obedient in Faith, disciplining your life in the way you KNOW you are being led (in whatever way you truly believe in your heart to be true), has GOT to be the greatest challenge and reward.

Look In The Mirror, Your Problem And Your Solution by William E. Bailey
Look In The Mirror, Your Problem And Your Solution is a wonderful piece written by William E. Bailey. Mr. Bailey is a respected speaker and author, a Horatio Alger Award recipient, founder of a $620 million dollar a year enterprise in the early 70′s and is one of Jim Rohn’s and Les Brown’s most respected mentors. I know you will enjoy this.
One of my favorite people, Winston Churchill, once said, “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is.” Now I’ll give you the Bill Bailey hillbilly version. “You might as well start with the truth, you are going to end with it.”
The words I believe, the words I think, the words I feel, may or may not be true. The words I experience are true. Where you are today is the sum total of every experience you have had in your life. And you had the opportunity to say “yes” or to say “no.” Whatever good happened to you, you ought to take credit. And whatever blame happened to you, you get that too. Because you could have said “yes” or said “no.” Wherever you are is okay, because you are here. And if everything hadn’t happened exactly the way it did in your life, you would not be here. You might have not survived.
Your direction is critical. Because one thing I will assure you of, in your life after seventy years of watching it, It Will Change! All positions are temporary. Take a look behind you. As Shakespeare said, “Straight satisfy yourself as the truth of it.” And again I’ll remind you. Whether you like it or not, you look in the mirror, that is your problem and that is your solution.
When I was very young I learned my first lesson in motivation, absence of options will create a very quick and powerful decision. I was born and raised in the hills of Kentucky, what you all call Appalachia. We called it just plain poor.
There were eleven kids in the family. We had six flat acres, the rest of them were on the hills. We plowed with mules. I was born in 1930, we didn’t have paved roads until I was 15. We had electricity when I was 16. We never had indoor plumbing. So we were a family, but we walked to church together and we walked back together. We had a very unusual community feeling.
So one day when I was 15 years old, I was plowing corn. The last time you plow a field is in August and in August, it’s very hot, it’s very humid. Well, I was plowing about three o’clock, back in a place called the Dorsey Holler. And I, like most young people decided I was not going to plow anymore, so I spent about five minutes thinking up a nice lie I was gonna tell my father if he asked. So I backed up under this big beech tree, sat down, tied the plow lines of the mule up to the plow handles, lit a cigarette. About that time I heard a voice say, “What in the h__ do you think you are doing?” And there stood my father looking like a rain cloud about to burst. I quickly whipped out my best lie and said, “Well, the ground was hard and the mule didn’t want to pull the plow.” He asked, “Did you hit it?” I said, “NO.” He said, “Well son you can hit the mule or I am hitting you.” I HIT THE MULE!
Here is the next statement for you. It is a shame that we wait for something outside us to cause us to do what we ought to do ourselves. Why did I wait for someone to force me to do what I should have been doing? We should all be truly excited about the rest of our lives because we have the greatest single tool in the world called the human brain.
My first eight years of school were in a two-room schoolhouse. Woody Craft, a Baptist minister, was our teacher. Woody taught me something that I will never forget, because he made me an absolute fortune and he gave me the window into an incredible world. Every Friday, after lunch at one o’clock, he would gather all the two rooms together and he would read books like “Pilgrim’s Progress,” “Call of the Wild,” and “Robinson Crusoe.” And he read them in voices. I thought that was incredible. I thought, “My God what an adventurous world right at my fingertips.” I learned to love to read.
After I learned to read, I then learned something else to further my reading skills. Because we were very poor, we used coal-oil lamps. Kerosene if you will. And my father did not like to have the lamps burn too long. When he said to turn that light out, what he wanted to hear was click, the sound of it being turned off. It was not a debate session. So I learned to do something that people now teach, speed reading. Well, I learned to speed read because of my father. When he’d come home I’d have to cut wood for the stove, help milk the cow and feed the mule, so by the time I got a chance to read, I only had a half an hour left of daylight. So out of necessity, I learned to look at a paragraph until I absorbed it. And the funny thing about absorbing it, is it never goes away. It’s always there.
In the same way, life asks us to absorb; absorb the experiences and the moments. For example, at times when I have been in the mountains or sailing far out to at sea, poems appear. Now I cannot write poetry, but over the last twenty years, I have had some come to me. I don’t question where they come from. These poems come from a source, I’ll leave it up to you to decide what that source is. I’ve never tried to make them come. I can now sum up my philosophy for you in a poem. As a matter of fact, about five or six years ago, somebody got me to write them down in a book called “Rhythms of Life.” Up until that time I had never written them down, I had never seen the need to because I keep them in my memory. One day somebody asked, “Well what if you pass away and they aren’t written down?” I said, “Well you know, there is no direct evidence I will ever expire, but circumstantially it is fairly strong. I may in fact do that.”
This one poem sums up my philosophy. How I have lived ever since I came across the idea that there are no limits on what I can do or what I can be.
So I am going to do the poem for you. It is called “A Warrior’s Song.” This poem appeared to me when I was at Beartrap Lake, which is 11,400 feet up on the Eastern slope of the Sierras. There is about a four acre lake above the tree line. As I crawled out of a sleeping bag one morning, just as the sun came up over the ridge, it seemed to move through the meadow just like a wave of water. The wave of light lit the wildflowers and then it hit some snow over on the north side where it doesn’t melt. And this is what appeared in my mind.
A WARRIOR’S SONG
The sun kisses a mountain top
And glistens on its face of snow,
And slowly climbs into the sky above
And lights the valley below.
For each of us that this day awakes
A miracle takes place.
For once again we walk our earth
And own all upon its face.
And the past regrets and foolish fears
Of yesterday’s cloudy mind,
Are washed away by the light of day
And seem so far behind.
For each of us is reborn each day,
Our life renews again.
And with the help of God we will find a cause
That makes us want to win.
For a man without a goal in life
Is a man already dead.
His mind wanders from place to place,
And he walks with feet of lead.
He has no reason to stretch his mind,
No spirit to stir his soul.
His name is not even in the book,
When destiny calls the roll.
Better to take the wine of life
And drink both deep and long –
Greet each day ’cause you’re here to stay,
And sing your warrior’s song.
For the battle of life is joined, and
You might fight long and true.
For in this strife, it’s the game of your life
And the only loser is you.
Gird up your loins with courage
And answer the trumpets call,
And lose or win, you can say at the end,
This was the greatest of all!

How Negative Feelings Can Help You Grow
Negative feelings can be useful in that they often have something important to tell us. If your mind and heart are sending you warning signals, it may be time to re-evaluate some things and make changes where necessary. This is how negative feelings can actually help us grow and begin to welcome good things and people into our lives once again.
Positive thinking should not be used as a “band-aid” for emotional wounds. The hurt you feel inside will still be there when the band-aid falls off. When we use positive thinking to get away from bad experiences, we lose the opportunity to bring long lasting fulfillment into our lives.
For positive thinking to “work,” it has to be authentic. Meaning, you truly believe what you are thinking and saying to yourself. The key word here is AUTHENTIC.
What are the ingredients of AUTHENTIC positive thinking?
Self Acknowledgment. Writing self-acknowledgments can be an empowering practice that nurtures authentic positive thinking and a healthy self-image. It’s important to remember the good things about you and all you do. Celebrate your talents, your strengths and accomplishments. Revel in how well you have done something – even the little things. For example, “Today I acknowledge myself for speaking my opinion at the business meeting” or “Today I acknowledge myself for emptying the dishwasher and folding my laundry.”
