Thinking Positive for SuccessWritten by Pam Murphy, B.S., RRT
Most people are not achieving business success and living lives they truly want because they are not thinking positively or confident enough. They haven't got a true life vision. Nor formulated a plan to achieve their life vision. By their lack of "positive-ness" they sabotage their success. One decision. One small action. One step outside of their comfort zone. (Mine was getting over a speaking on phone phobia). This action can be beginning of a series of decisions and actions that leads to a FEELING and KNOWING of "I can do this" and their ultimate success. Most sadly of all they don't realize they were meant to live a life of abundance!For next few moments imagine there are no limits to what you can have or achieve. What do you want in life? Let yourself imagine freely like you did when you were a little child! Nothing is to excessive or pre- posterous!!! Take out a pencil and paper. Draw a circle. Put in that circle most important benefit you expect to gain from being successful in your business. Draw eight circles around this circle. Place in each of them other benefits your percieve and expect to gain from being successful in business. Now close your eyes and put yourself in middle circle.

Many of us invest quality time and energy into our personal development. We buy inspiring books, sometimes with workbooks or journals that complement them. We discuss psychology with our friends - or we look for friends with whom we can have open discussions on subject. There is activity in our mind - at times a little bit of confusion. We encounter so many different lines of thoughts, so many tools, so many exploratory exercises we can do. It's as if we were in middle of a dense, majestic forest...Then, maybe it happened to you, you reach a point where you don't feel satiated anymore after reading hot new self-improvement book... The workshop just feels like another workshop... Philosophical discussions feel more like empty calories... It's not that your head is full: it's more that you are hungry. You are hungry, because you have tasted - sometimes chewed – wisdom you have read or heard, but you haven't digested and integrated it. Don't we benefit from relaxing and taking a break after a good meal? I think none of us have ever seen, written in back of a book, "You don't need to read me – all wisdom is within you”. No publisher would be so open-minded (or masochist)... Besides, we are ones who have to figure out for ourselves how we can best use resources available to us - how we can use them to connect to our own inner wisdom, inspirations, intuitions. Other people's insights are guiding lights. We don't need a zillion guiding lights, in fact we get lost if we are surrounded by too many of them - they point in too many different directions. Their role is simply to show us possibilities, which we can consider... and once we have chosen something to be our truth, we close book, we turn light off, and we get in touch with our own inner guidance. One simple concept can drastically change our life. It can be, "Love yourself", it can be, "Be all that you can be", or "Fear is an illusion"... But none of these makes real sense, no concept will truly transform our life, if it's not integrated in every cell of our body, if it doesn't feel as tangible as if it came from us in first place. We keep reading and listening to “teachers”, and "experts"; but who's best expert, when it comes to you, or when it comes to me?
