Think positive thoughts and good happens! How thinking can change your life
Have you wondered what separates happy people from miserable people, rich people from poor people, and successful people from failures?
The bottom line is that you can think positive thoughts and good things will happen, or you can think negative thoughts and negative things will happen.
To illustrate this scenario I want to share some great words of wisdom from Dr. David Schwartz in his groundbreaking best-selling self-help book the magic of thinking big.
Its obvious. Much human behavior is puzzling.
Have you ever wondered why salesperson will greet one customer with an alert “yes sir, may I serve you?” but virtually ignored and other?
Or why a man will open the door for one woman but not for another?
Or why an employee will consistently carry out the instructions of one superior but only grudgingly do what another superior requests?
Or why we will pay close attention to what one person says but not to another?
Look around you. You’ll observe some people receiving the “hey, Mac” or “hey, buddy” treatment while others received a sincere and important “yes, sir” treatment.
Watch. You will observe that some people command confidence, loyalty, and admiration while others do not.
Look closer still, and you’ll also observe that those persons who command the most respect are also the most successful.
What is the explanation?
It can be distilled into one word: thinking.
Thinking does make it so. Others see in us what we see in ourselves.
We receive the kind of treatment we think we deserve.
Thinking does make it so. A fellow who thinks he is inferior, regardless of what his real qualifications may be, is inferior.
For thinking regulates actions. If a man feels inferior, he acts that way, and no veneer of cover-up or bluff will hide the basic feeling for long.
The person who feels he isn’t important, is not.
On the other hand, a fellow who really thinks is equal to the task, is.
To be important, we must think we are important, really think so: then others will think so too.
