The Power of Positive Thinking
Research has indicated that in a day human beings talk to themselves (self-talk) about 50,000 times a day but surprisingly 80% of that self-talk is mostly negative.
Meanwhile, we are not aware or we don’t know the power of that inner conversation, but a man is literally as he thinks as James Allen the author of “As a Man Thinketh” pointed out.
In the 21st century, tremendous innovation has occurred in human creation and that is why there is power in positive thinking. When it comes to how we are managing our self-talk, our thoughts, and how we think, affect our life, attitude, behaviors, character, or even personality.
Here are examples of negative talk
· I am not good enough, I can’t do it,
· I don’t have enough education or skills
· I am not loved
· I am stupid
· I can’t do it, I will never make it
· I am not beautiful or handsome
· If I do this, what would others think of me?
· I am not rich. This is only for rich people. I will never be rich
And the list goes on…
If you want to capture them, just take a notebook and write them down. After finishing reading this slice, read them again and re-write something positive behind and choose to take it as a new belief system that you will be carrying starting from today.

In reality, your negative thoughts have the power to discourage you more than people in your life. This is because
What you say to yourself about yourself matters a lot, more than what others say about you. Mind your thinking.
With negative thinking, you will become easily destructed with emotions and once you do it in your daily basis routine you will find yourself experiencing anger, bitterness, and sadness every single moment in your life.
Instead of destroying your inner part, it’s good to learn to appreciate yourself; stop criticizing yourself, stop putting yourself down.
What if you see yourself as someone precious, talk to yourself with huge appreciation and become courageous?
Transform your negative self-talk into positive self-talk through your inner conversation or how you think.
See yourself as a winner, as someone who is very self-confident, who is beautiful or handsome, as someone who is not successful according to the world definition but as someone who can provide a great contribution to the world.
Accept yourself as who you are, love yourself unconditionally.
Build a New Habit
You already created a thinking pattern that works automatically as a default. You can change that by developing a new habit by bringing your thoughts conscious into positive.
Ask yourself these question “What am I thinking right now? Is it positive?” If the answer is YES then you are good to go, if your answer is NO then find thoughts that align with what you want to experience and change it then and there.
Talk to the Person You Want to Become
I love reading books and there is this profound book from Neale Donald called “Conversation With God” that explained about the “Be-Do-Have” paradigm; where it suggests that we have to see ourselves there when it comes to the vision we are holding, dreams or even the person we want to become in the future.
If you have the ability to act at the moment and see yourself there, then you are giving yourself energy, power, and conviction that will put you in a positive state to think everything will get better.
“In reality, we don’t need to HAVE anything to DO something, to BE the person we always wish to become — instead, we can BE the person we want to be first, then DO the things that support the person we want to become, to HAVE the things we wish to have in life.” — Be-Do-Have Paradigm
Just Keep practicing positive talk continuously and consistency on your daily basis but don’t do it as a single day and leave it— it won’t do you good.
If you keep focusing on what you do want what you don’t want falls away –The Secret.
