"No positive thinking you can get anything,
But it can get everything better than negative thinking can "- Zig Ziglar

Thinking positive is a favorite topic of most self-help books and inspirational speakers. Therefore, much has been written and said about him that I had begun to feel that I can achieve something, I just think positively about it. In fact, many coaches (including myself in the past) called for positive thinking as a panacea for all. I plead guilty of telling people that his failure can be attributed to not enough positive.

For years I realized that simply thinking positively not achieve anything. The kind of positive thinking that a lot of people talk about is a denial of reality. It is very positive thinking and positive talk. But what can be achieved if it is not supported by the ability and skill. I am 34 and have never played football in my life, doesn’t have car insurance quotes. No matter how positive I think or speak, I can not be a professional footballer at this age. Simply because, to become a professional footballer, one has to start young, and then acquire skill and ability for several years.

Such unrealistic and impractical positive thinking can actually do more harm than good in the long run. This makes a person close their eyes to the problems and make them live in a world of fantasy. In the end, the person is depressed, and then proclaims that positive thinking is not really make sense and yields no results.

As Zig Ziglar the great inspirational speaker and author said that positive thinking can not get anything you, but you can get all the best that can be negative thought. There is a school student who is not good with numbers. However, if prone to negative thinking, he had no hope and that will not make efforts to improve its capacity. As a result surely will fail in arithmetic. But he takes a positive decision, which will work on it and at least move, even if not what the top grade. On any given day, only passing is definitely better than not.

Therefore, if he makes sufficient effort in arithmetic and devotes the most time to items that uses its capacity, can move in just arithmetic, but very well in other subjects, usually in its class as one of the best in class. Now, that is positive thinking and positive attitude.

Therefore, it is time to explain when and how we can use positive thinking to maximize the blessings that life has to offer. It is time to define what exactly is positive thinking. So, you’re a positive thinker if:

1. Cree in yourself and see a positive: It is important to have a healthy self-image. A healthy self-image means a healthy acceptance of one’s own autonomy. We all have different skills and attributes that make us different and unique. If you do not have a way that does not mean that you are inferior to others. Accepting their natural abilities and believe that can help you achieve success in life is the first step towards positive thinking.

2. Accept that there are problems and find solutions: situations and circumstances that are not always favourable, but should not affect his thinking or attitude. Accept the fact that situations will be difficult and not always the problems it is essential to maintain a positive attitude towards them. Many pseudo positive thinkers often not allow themselves or other people to discuss problems. How can you solve problems and seek alternatives if we do not discuss them. Reflecting on them to find solutions is not negative thinking. Make an excuse for not trying, or turn a blind eye to them as if they do not exist is definitely negative response to negative situations.

3. Take challenges and grow: I advocate that positive thinking will help you make the best use of their existing capabilities to achieve great heights in his life. At the same time, positive thinking is required to accept challenges to acquire new skills and abilities. Do not get stuck with what you have. Accept challenges, and be willing to fail and learn from it. Failure is not a failure if they learned anything that makes you a better person. Rather failures positively when taken him to take a little success. Learn from their mistakes and grow.

4. Learn to say then: It requires a large amount of positive thinking to say next. The ’Next’ denotes a breakthrough, but denotes hope and, therefore, is positive. If you want to dig a well what was supposed to do? The answer is simple dig. But what will you do if the strike a large rock. You start digging somewhere else (unless you have equipment that can dig the rock past). The same way, learn to accept rejection and move forward. Desiring that the rock is going to disappear on his own thinking is negative, since it does not produce the desired results.

5. Be prepared to make changes: Is there a point in digging a well, when you can simply buy a bottle of mineral water. Know when to quit and change their plans. In case of repetition of the same action gives same results, to look back. It’s positive thinking to have faith in yourself, but there is no point in feeling good for the plans that are not yielding the desired results. It may be the course you have chosen was not right for you. There is no point in sticking with a job or a career that gives you satisfaction is not, either financially or spiritually. Learn to differentiate between the vehicle and destination. Keep your eyes on your dreams and goals and be willing to change vehicles to reach them.

6. Keep hope and faith to deal with situations: for what happened that I have lost everything in a company so my wife and I had earned over a period of six years. Things seemed pretty bad as we had no money. I was completely depressed and felt hopeless. (At that time I was not bitten by thinking positive error). Fortunately, my wife (who perhaps has more wisdom then he) said: "If we want to rock bottom, there is only one place to go, and you’re up." Now, that is a little positive attitude. We could have been financial bankruptcy, but still had our ability and skill. All you need is the right attitude to make the best use of them and return. And that’s what we did. In next five years we have succeeded in becoming better financial situation before then. It’s all right to lose everything that is material, but if they have lost hope, who have lost everything. Most people than ever are qualified unemployed find a job, as have been sold on the idea that there are no jobs. Therefore, never make an effort to find one. Hope takes us forward, helps us to say then helps us to make changes.

7. Do your best, but subject to the will of God: This I believe is the mother of all positive thinking, the supreme faith. Bhagwat Gita Hindu Scripture says: "Make a karma (action), do not worry about it." Similarly Bible says "nevertheless, not my will, but you, be done. (Luke 22:42). Both mean the same thing. What is going to do, put your best foot forward, but in the end leave the outcome in God’s hands. Have faith that God has a plan for us, and if our efforts are not producing the desired results, simply means that God has better plans for us. Therefore, as a positive thinker, thanks God for not only what you have, but also for what he has been denied because there are great blessings in store for you.

God bless you!
