The Power of Positive Thinking

By Remez Sasson

Positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude that

focuses on the bright side of life and expects positive
results.
A person with positive thinking mentality anticipates happiness,
health and success, and believes that he or she can overcome
any obstacle and difficulty.
Positive thinking is not a concept that everyone believes and
follows. Some, consider it as nonsense, and scoff at people who
follow it. However, 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 positive thinking 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.

Positive Thinking Is a Way of Life

With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy
feelings. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy, and
happiness. Our whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and
success. Even our health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk
tall, our voice is more powerful, and our body language shows the
way we feel.
Positive and negative thinking are contagious.
We affect, and are affected by the people we meet, in one way or
another. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level,
through words, thoughts and feelings, and through body
language.
Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive people, and
prefer to avoid negative ones?
People are more disposed to help us, if we are positive, and they
dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting negativity.
Negative thoughts, words and attitude, create negative and
unhappy feelings, moods and behavior. When the mind is
negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more
unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration
and disappointment.

Positive Thinking Instructions and

Advice
In order to turn the mind toward the positive, some inner
work is required, since attitude and thoughts do not change
overnight.
1. Read about this subject, think about its benefits, and persuade
yourself to try it. The power of your thoughts is a mighty power
that is always shaping your life. This shaping is usually done
subconsciously, but it is possible to make the process a
conscious one. Even if the idea seems strange, give it a try. You
have nothing to lose, but only to gain.
2. Ignore what other people say or think about you, if they
discover that you are changing the way you think.
3. Use your imagination to visualize only favorable and beneficial
situations.
4. Use positive words in your inner dialogues, or when talking
with others.
5. Smile a little more, as this helps to think positively.
6. Once a negative thought enters your mind, you have to be
aware of it, and endeavor to replace it with a constructive one. If
the negative thought returns, replace it again with a positive one.
It is as if there are two pictures in front of you, and you have to
choose to look at one of them, and disregard the other.
Persistence will eventually teach your mind to think positively,
and to ignore negative thoughts.
7. In case you experience inner resistance and difficulties when
replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, do not give up,
but keep looking only at the beneficial, good and happy thoughts
in your mind.
8. It doesn't matter what your circumstances are at the present
moment. Think positively, expect only favorable results and
situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. If you
persevere, you will transform the way your mind thinks. It might
take some time for the changes to take place, but eventually
they will.
9. Another useful technique is the repetition of affirmations. This
technique is similar to creative visualization, and can be used
together with it.
