“The power of positive thinking” was published by Norman Vincent Peale in 1952. That was before even I was born!!! Without referencing the book in particular, the concept of positive thinking feels empty to some, an energy of fake happy, if you will. But positive thinking for me is visualizing good results, reaching goals, great happiness. The energy created by these visions is uplifting and empowering. Positive thinking isn’t a magic wand that instantly drops a Porsche in your driveway or fixes a negative bank balance. But herding your meandering mind towards positive visions is a choice that long term pays great benefits.
I encourage you to watch what movie you allow to play most often in your mind. Are you often fearfully visualizing failure or can you embrace the idea that there is hope in our changed world. Yes, positive thinking is making up a happy ending. But always focusing on the worst outcome is also made up. Dwelling too much in fear sucks your energy and radiates to those around you. Be creative and use your imagination to paint a brighter future for all of us.
I’m just amazed at how my physical, emotional and spiritual self can shift by just focusing on what is right, what beauty lies ahead and embracing the power I have to master my thoughts. Working towards my goals, fulfilling purpose is possible because I choose to imagine that I can, I will, I must.
When each of us can be a generator of positive energy much of the time, the world is lifted. No one else can fix our world but you, and I. Let’s do this!! ❤️
