Oh, how I want to put my finger to people’s lips and say “Shhhh — don’t say that!” when I hear then say things like \u201cI\u2019m so stupid”, “I can just look at a cookie, and I gain weight”, “I get a cold this time every year”, “I could never win at that”, “I\u2019ll never be able to afford that”, “I\u2019m too old to do that”, etc. And, you know what\u2026..they will continue to get what they are saying and thinking.<\/p>\n

I am an optimistic and quite experienced, positive thinker. I wasn\u2019t born that way, but through conscious effort and repetition, it’s now, my mode of operation. In all seriousness, I anticipate happiness, good health and success, and I sincerely believe that I can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. Optimistic and positive people really do experience happy feelings; their eyes are bright, they’re almost always smiling, they have more energy and their whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and success. Even their health is affected in a positive way, and they walk tall, their voices are more powerful and their body language shows the way they feel.<\/p>\n

Positive thinking is contagious, but so is negative thinking. And, my heart is to inspire others to stop having stickin\u2019 thinkin\u2019. Thinking positively and speaking positively really works. We really can control and change our thoughts. It\u2019s like changing the channel on a TV \u2013 we see a program we don\u2019t want to watch, so we change the channel. In the same way, when a negative thought comes to us, rather than continuing to think that negative thought\u2026.change the channel to something good and positive. Those who think themselves a failure or unworthy of success and live in fear of what tomorrow may bring, will encounter stumbling blocks, closed doors, being late to appointments because of losing their keys, and other distractions that will keep them from succeeding.<\/p>\n

But, if we make a conscious effort to speaking positive, writing positive, reading positive, watching positive and take actions that make us feel positive, eventually, it will be second nature for us to shift any negative focus to positive. It doesn’t matter what our circumstances are at the present moment. If we think positively, expect favorable results, then our situations and circumstances will change. If we persevere, we will transform the way our mind thinks, as well as the beautiful things that will start coming our way. So, let\u2019s start \u201cTHINKING BEFORE WE SPEAK\u201d. Who knows? Those positive thoughts just might produce the harvest we\u2019ve been believing for!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
