A Positive Beginning to a Great Year

Happy New Year 2012!

It’s a new year and a new beginning. Let’s think positive that this will be a good year.

Think positive! What does that mean? People are always telling other people to think positive. The recipients of those words, smile, shrug their shoulders or nod their heads, all the while thinking, “What do they mean ‘think positive’? I don’t understand.”

I’m going to tell you what it means to me to ‘think positive’. It means that in any given situation, think about the outcome you want. For example, if you’re going on a job interview think about what makes you qualified for the position, plan to wear an outfit that makes you look good, prepare the outfit ahead of time so you know that it’s ready. See yourself getting the job and going to work every day. DO NOT let any negative thoughts enter your mind. If you start thinking negative thoughts about the interview, crush them like a bug.

If you’re a negative kind of person this will be more difficult for you because you’re creating a new habit of positive thinking. If you put forth the required effort and allow sufficient time you can create a new habit of positive thinking.

There are those people that don’t believe in the power of positive thought. If you’re one of those people, think about this. What do you have to lose by changing to more positive thoughts? The truth is you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
