Are You A Real Positive Thinker
“No positive thinking can get you anything,
But it can get everything better than negative thinking can” - Zig Ziglar

Positive thinking is a favorite topic of most self help books and inspirational speakers. So, much has been written and said about it that I had started feeling that I can get anything simply my thinking positively about it. In fact, many life coaches (including myself in past) advocated positive thinking as a quick fix for all. I plead guilty of telling people that their failure can be attributed to their not being positive enough.

Over years I realized that simply thinking positively will not accomplish anything. The kind of positive thinking that a lot of people talk about is in a way denial of reality. It is great to think positive and speak positive. But what it can accomplish if it is not supported by the ability and skill. I am 34, and have never played football in my life. It does not matter how positive I think or speak, I can not become a professional footballer at this age. Simply because, to become a professional footballer, one has to start young and then acquire skill and ability over number of years.

This kind of unrealistic and impractical positive thinking actually can do more harm than good over the long run. This makes a person to shut his eyes from the problems and make them live in a fantasy world. In the end the person gets depressed and then proclaims that positive thinking is actually non-sense and yields no results.

As Zig Ziglar the great inspirational speaker and author says that, positive thinking can not get you any thing, but it can get you everything better than negative thinking can. There is a school student who is not good with numbers. Now, if is prone to negative thinking, he will have no hope and he will make no efforts to improve his ability. As a result he will surely fail in arithmetic. However he takes a positive decision, he will work on it and at least pass, even if not making it to the top grade. Any day, just passing is definitely better than failing.

So, if he makes sufficient effort in arithmetic and devotes maximum time to the subjects that uses his ability, he may barely pass in arithmetic but do extremely well in other subjects, making his overall grade as one of the top in the class. Now, that is Positive thinking and positive attitude.

It is therefore 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 positive thinking is. So, you are a positive thinker if you:

1. Believe in yourself and see yourself in positive light: It is important to have a healthy self image. A healthy self-image means a healthy acceptance of ones own self. All of us have different abilities and attributes that make us different and unique. If you do not have a particular ability that does not mean that you are inferior to others. Accepting your natural abilities and believing that they can help you to achieve success in life is the first step towards positive thinking.

2. Accept that problems exist and find solutions: Situations and circumstances are not always favorable, but they must not affect your thinking or attitude. Accepting the fact that situations will be difficult and there always will be problems is essential to keep a positive attitude towards them. Many pseudo positive thinkers often will not allow themselves or others to talk about problems. How can you solve problems and find alternatives if you do not discuss them. Pondering over them to find solutions is not negative thinking. Making them an excuse for not trying, or shutting your eyes to them as if they do not exist is definitely negative response to negative situations.

3. Take up challenges and grow: I advocate that positive thinking will help you to make best use of your existing abilities to achieve great heights in your life. At the same time it requires positive thinking to accept challenges to acquire new skills and abilities. Don’t get stuck with what you have. Accept challenges, and be ready to fail and learn from it. Failure is not a failure if you have learned something that makes you a better person. On the contrary any failure when taken positively will take you a bit towards success. Learn from your mistakes and grow.

4. Learn to say next: It requires lots of positive thinking to be able to say next. The ‘Next’ denotes forward motion; it denotes hope and therefore is positive. If you want to dig a well what you are supposed to do? The answer is simple dig. But what will you do, if you strike a big rock. You start digging in other place (unless you have the equipments that can dig past the rock). Same way, learn to accept rejection and move forward. Wishing that the rock will disappear by its own is negative thinking as it will not produce desired results.

5. Be ready 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 your plans. If repetition of same action is giving you same results, look back at them. It is positive thinking to have belief in yourself; but there is no point in feeling positive for plans that are not giving desired results. May be the course that you had chosen was not the right one for you. There is no point at sticking with a job or a career that is not giving you satisfaction either financially or spiritually. Learn to differentiate between the vehicle and the destination. Keep your eyes on your dreams and goals and be ready to change the vehicles to reach them.

6. Keep hope and faith in trying situations: It so happened that I lost everything in a venture what my wife and I had earned over a period of six years. Things looked pretty bad as we had no money left. I was thoroughly depressed and was feeling hopeless. (At that time I was not bitten by the positive thinking bug). Thankfully, my wife (who perhaps has more wisdom then I have) said, “If we are the rock bottom, there is only one place to go, and that is Up.” Now, that is a bit of positive attitude. We might have been bankrupt financially, but we still had our ability and skill. All it needed was the right attitude to make best use of them and come back. And that is what we did. In next five years we managed to become financially better off then before. It is all right to loose everything that is material, but if you have lost hope, you have lost everything. Most of the skilled people who are unemployed never find a job as they have been sold on to the idea that there are no jobs. So, they never make an effort to find one. Hope makes us to move forward, it helps us to say next, it helps us to make changes.

7. Do your best but submit to the will of God: This I believe is the mother of all positive thinking, the supreme faith. Bhagwat Gita the hindu scripture says “Perform your karma (action), do not worry about result.” Similarly Bible says “nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. (Luke 22:42). Both mean the same thing. Do what is to be done, put your best foot forward, but in the end leave the result in hands of the God. Have faith that God has a plan for us, and if our efforts are not producing desired results, it simply means that God has better plans for us. So as a positive thinker, you thank God for not only what you have, but also for what you have been denied as there are bigger blessings in store for you.

God Bless You!!!

Tapping into the Science of Getting Rich
Did you know that it is possible, in essence, to think your way rich? That there is a certain mindset shared by successful, wealthy people, and that understanding and using that mindset can help you bring riches into your life?

It sounds a little farfetched, but in fact these ideas have been around since the early 1900s, when Wallace D. Wattles wrote the book "The Science of Getting Rich," which is still held up today as an example of mind science, or using the power of the mind to manifest what you want in life.

Wattles wrote that success is not about living in a particular place, being from a certain background, or even having luck. Instead all successful people think in a certain way that allows goodness, success and money to come into their lives.

The way he described this right way of thinking was that you must have a "clear and definite idea of what you want." He said "unformed longings and vague desires" would not bring you want you want, instead you must be really clear on exactly what you desire down to the last detail.

It's not enough, he said, to want money or a new house or a new car. You have to want a million dollars, a three-story beach house on the Carolina coast with hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances, or a bright red Hummer with all the bells and whistles.

He explained that using the science of getting rich or mental science to attract anything into your life is like sending a telegram (today we might say like sending an e-mail): you don't just send all the letters of the alphabet and hope that the recipient can decipher your message.

In the same way you can't just ask for wealth, comfort or happiness from the great telegram receiver and expect to get exactly what you want. Instead you must give a detailed account of what it is you desire, whether that's by forming a mental picture, writing down what you want or even collecting pictures of the ideal home, car, relationship, or whatever else it is that you are looking for.

Having a clear vision, though, is only part of the battle. You also have to have unwavering faith that the thing you desire most can be yours. Wattles wrote that you should be able to believe that the thing you want is already yours. You should be able to imagine yourself living in the house, driving the car or spending the money, vividly seeing that future life that you are building with the power of your intention.

It takes some practice to have both that clear vision and unshakable faith, but once you learn the secrets you can literally have anything you want just by visualizing, asking and believing.

TACT - The Manifestation - The Secret Law of Attraction
I want to tell you the Ultimate Secret of Law of Attraction to conclude TACT formula as below: T - Thank you - "The Beginning" A - Attracting - "The Inner Process" C - Creating - "The Inner Process" T - Thank you - "The Manifestation" In the last step "Thank You", it is not the same as "Thank You" on first step. The first "Thank You" is that you are grateful for what you are today, and you are grateful for what you have now. While "Thank You" in the last step is that you are grateful for what you have just achieved and received in your visualization of your dream in "The Inner Process" step. "Thank You" in the last step, is when you have visualized that you have got what you want in your life right now, and you are grateful for that. This is The Manifestation of everything that you have visualized. Be grateful, because it has happened to your life right now. The Manifestation process is most important step of TACT formula. It is the moment where Universe will say "Your Wish is my Command" Be happy and celebrate the joy of getting what you want in your life. The feeling of happiness, beauty, love, success, and abundance is over flowing to your life. Above all, You must remember "The Ultimate Secret of Attracting whatever you want is to want it without needing it". It means, there is no limit to get what you want in your visualization, but you must make sure that you are not addicted to it. When you have a feeling of addiction, or you feel you must have it. You are actually pushing the manifestation process away. Beware on this. Just let the universe bring it to you. You just let go, and watch The Manifestation happen naturally. In other words, in the world of everyday reality, struggling to achieve something causes the opposite forces within yourself to kick into play. But when you come from an inner place of serenity and you go with the flow toward your wishes, you have upped the odds of your achieving them. Your peace will attract peace. You fully activate the Secret Law of Attraction when you are not attached to it. You come to this message is of no coincidence at all. Your life is so special and unique. You are born with a purpose.

Your Witchcraft Dieties (And How They Can Help You)
There are hundreds of deities in dozens of different Witchcraft belief systems. It is important to find the deities that resonate with the core of who you are, and ask for their help in your rituals and spells.

If you align yourself with the “right” deities for you, the power of your connection with Magick energy can increase beyond levels you can achieve on your own.

Getting the results you want (especially if you are asking for a lot) do not always come easy. But if you have the right deities on your side �" miracles that you may not normally have the power to create, will be made easy because of your connection to your deities.

You typically want to select a few feminine deities to follow, and a few that are masculine. You want a balance. Of course if you follow the “Dianic” path, you will only celebrate feminine deities �" and that is ok, as that is the path you have chosen.

I could write an entire book on this section alone, so I cannot go into the detail I need to in the scope of this book. In my Academy In-A-Box I have listed out deities from every branch, and many different cultures and belief systems. I also lay out a step by step process you can use to actually get the deities to choose you. This is a good way to remove all self-doubt that “you picked the wrong ones”.

Usually, selecting the right deities does not happen in 10 or 15 minutes. Sometimes it can take a day or longer �" but you only really have to do it once.

If you want to use Magick at higher levels, it is important to have at least 2 deities that can help you and protect you on your path.

For now, do some research on this page on different deities you may choose to align yourself with. Read through the descriptions with a clear mind, and try to “feel” how you can connect with each diety. See if you can discover at least 2 that really “hit home” with you.

When you take the time to find the deities that are right for you, it will make all the difference in your path of Witchcraft. You'll somehow feel more connected to everything you do, because the deities that you choose a lifelong relationship with will watch over you, helping you to bring miracles into your life through Magick energy.
