Positive Thinking Handbook - Your Handbook To A Positive
Mind
WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG, YOU DISCOVER WHO YOU
ARE. YOU HAVE A DEFINING MOMENT.
It's human nature to want everything to be easy. We want to be
born with a silver spoon in our mouth, we want mountains of difficulty
to move out of the way just by waving our hands, and we feel like we
deserve to win the lottery.
But even if all those things happened we would not be content.
Happiness and contentment are not the result of an easy life or based
on outward circumstances. Instead, they are an inner thing.
They come from the way we run our mind, and the way we define
ourselves when everything goes wrong.
If you don't face challenges, and if things don't go
wrong frequently, something is wrong. You are not really living.
You are drifting. You are alive in name only.
It's time to get in the arena and engage life head on. It's time
for things to go wrong so you can discover what you are made of and
who you are. It's time to have a defining moment.
Theodore Roosevelt understood defining moments. He wrote:
"It
is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is
no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who
spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at
least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
The Positive Thinking Handbook will help you win the battle of the
mind during the defining moments of life.
The Positive Thinking Handbook is your handbook to a
positive mind.

Change always occurs in an instant. I changed my life in an instant
when I learned to ride the bicycle. There was an immediate shift in my
beliefs when I successfully rode for the first time. One moment I
didn’t believe that I could ride, and the next moment I believed that I
could.
Whatever changes I make always happen in an instant and happen first in
my mind. If I am having a hard time bringing about positive change, I
need to examine my beliefs. A key belief is preventing me from change.
If I alter that belief, I arrive at the instant where change is
possible. I will not talk myself into believing that change is
impossible. Positive change is something that I already know how to do.
The size of change is irrelevant. Whether changes are large are small,
they still happen in an instant, and they happen first in my mind.
Focus gives me powerful leverage over my mind.
When I focus on a thought, it forces my mind to look in the direction
of that thought. When I focus for a minute, I push my mind in that
direction for a minute. When I consistently focus on it for weeks and
months, my life moves in that direction. The focus of my mind expands
into my life.
I can think only one thought at a time. When I focus on one thought,
I displace all others from my mind. Focus enables me to displace
unwanted thoughts. I displace negative ones with positive ones and
limiting ones with unlimited ones.
Focus selects the programs that I run in my mind. When I select a
program using the power of focus, I take control of my mind. Since I
can run only one program at a time, when I run a positive one, the
negative ones vanish.
I use the power of focus to push my mind in the direction of my
dreams. The magic of focus is not hocus-pocus, and it’s not a trick.
It’s the real thing. Focus unlocks the door of change and makes it
possible to run positive programs in my mind.
Change finally happens when I am ready to change.
Change takes a long time, because I take so much time getting ready.
Although change occurs in an instant, getting ready for that instant
may take years.
Most of the barriers to positive change are found only in my mind.
Limiting beliefs tell me that now isn’t the right time. Conditions
will be more favorable in the future. When I am older and more
mature, then I will be ready to change. It’s easy to think of dozens
of reasons why now isn’t the right time. The only thing holding me
back is my beliefs. When I believe that I am stuck where I am, change
becomes impossible.
The truth is that change is possible anywhere and anytime. Change
happens when I am willing to change the way I think and act, and I can
do that whenever I want.
I am willing to do whatever it takes to make change happen. There is
no reason to wait for years; I can change my life today.
Positive change isn’t a matter of the will.
Rather, it’s a matter of being willing to do whatever it takes. When
I am not willing, no matter how much I say I want to change, it will
not happen. I am only playing a word game, and everyone understands
what I am saying.
The difference between the will and being willing is great. Making my
dreams come true doesn’t require an iron will. I don’t need an
indomitable spirit before I start the journey. I don’t need to spend
years pumping myself up in preparation for the moment that will takes
over, sweeps me off my feet, and carries me to total victory. That is
a fairy tale of the will. No one has a mountain of will that sweeps
away all opposition.
I don’t need a massive will to succeed. I do need a willingness to do
whatever is required to make my dreams happen. Although I don’t have
an iron will, I do have a willingness to work around, go through,
over, or under whatever obstacles get in the way. This is a quiet
willingness. Eloquent speeches of dramatic resolve aren’t part of the
script. I simply get on with the business of living my dreams. Every
day I focus on my purpose and act on my plan, because I am willing to
do whatever it takes to make my dreams come true.
I am the only one who can change my life, because I am the only one
who can change the way I think.
I need to change my mind about many things.
When I look at my limitations, I need to change my mind. When I look
at my failures, I need to change my mind. When I look at the past, I
need to change my mind. When I look at the present, I need to change
my mind. When I look at the future, I need to change my mind.
I can change my mind about any area of my life. It doesn’t matter if
the change is large or small. Regardless of its size or direction,
change still first happens in my mind. When I change the way I think,
it’s only a matter of time before change happens in my life.
What do I do when things aren’t working? Do I continue thinking the
same old thoughts and taking the same old actions? If I do that, I
can be one-hundred percent sure that my dreams will never come true.
If I think the same old thoughts and take the same old actions, I will
receive the same old results and remain trapped in my old way of
living. I have to think and act my new life into existence.
The Life Long Disoriented talk about how they would like to change,
but they never do anything about it. My life is different, because I
do something about it. I have a daily checklist on which I write
every new thought that I want to put into my mind and every new action
that I want to take. My checklist keeps me honest and guarantees that
every day I will focus on the new thoughts and actions that build the
path to my dreams. I don’t just talk about change. I make it happen
by thinking new thoughts and taking new actions.
The accomplishments of other people strike me
with a sense of awe, and it’s hard to see how I could
achieve the same thing. Their triumphs should pull me like a giant
magnet up the mountain of achievement. More often than not, the
internal message is just the opposite. I feel that there is something
unique about others that make it possible for them to reach their
goals, but a survey of my own inner resources fails to find a reason
why I could do the same. This flaw in my thinking diminishes my
vision for what is possible.
Achievers are not more talented or brilliant than those who don’t
reach their dreams. However, they do possess one quality that
non-achievers lack. They are endlessly persistent in pursuing their
dreams.
Endless persistence separates the daydreamers from the doers. I am an
Unstoppable, Consistently Positive, Endlessly Persistent, Doer of
Dreams. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make them happen. No
matter how long it takes, or how many times I fail, I will make my
dreams come true.

emotions, it's your emotions that rule your world. You can't change
your emotions directly, but you can change them indirectly by changing the
way you think. Emotions are dyed the color of your thoughts.

the natural software for your mind. Positive Thinking truly is the right
