Welcome! Subscribe HereYour Secret To Positive Thinking
People are talking about it. It is on the news, in documentaries, on the radio, and in person. As the awareness spreads, more people are taking charge of life, and talking about positive thinking. As the world wakes up from self-pity and despair, it recognizes the power of the mind to impact the future. There are classic books to inspire you (such as Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking), and modern works that hightlight speakers who tell the world how to effect change (such as the Law of Attraction movie and book The Secret). I get excited anytime people want to talk about creating a better life. It fits exactly with the theme of A Better You Blog.
The Law of Attraction goes along with this approach to life: whatever you think about will happen. My view on the Law of Attraction can be seen in my article Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. I believe you do attract most of what you experience, but that life happens in balance, and there are ways to apply any theory to the extreme. While I agree positive thinking creates and attracts positive outcomes, God also gave people free will. The choice to do good or to do harm to others impacts everyone. Some find it comforting to believe in a false security that everything can be controlled, but the unexpected does happen. It is what you do next that determines your level of success.
Seize the rewards you attract with confidence and overcome both the difficulties that you attract and those few that come despite your best efforts. You are not a victim of your circumstances. You hurt, you heal, you move on, and you triumph over adversity and into greatness. Do not allow the 1% you cannot control to dominate the other 99% of your life, but focus on the 99% you can control, attract the success you desire, and create a better you. You can dream your way to the life you want: believe your goals are within your grasp, and work hard to create amazing success.
God has a unique plan for you. How do positive thoughts help you achieve your life’s purpose? Dream, imagine, and achieve. Do it today!

The Personal Development Carnival – February 4, 2007…
Welcome to the February 4, 2007 edition of the Personal Development Carnival!
I went light on the commentary this week… sorry, but I’m extremely distracted.
Enjoy the carnival!
Mark McManus presents How To Know Your Life Is Purpose Drive…
I love motivational quotes.
I put some of my very favorites on a flash presentation on my site.
Here is a link for anyone who is interested.

I hope you don’t mind but since you asked for favorite quotes I couldn’t resist sharing!
Karen,
Thanks for the link- I do not mind at all- I asked for them
For others who view this, I moderate all comments for approval, so I will ensure these are not spam. Let me know if one gets through and I will zap it.
To continued positive thoughts and success…
Patricia
I really like your site and was wondering, I am fairly new to blogging and wondering if you wouldn’t mind linking to each others site to assist each other to receive more traffic and exposure. You can check out my site at http://susanvlz.blogspot.com Thanks.
Susan,
Thanks for your quotes on positive living (on your blog). I appreciate your comment, and welcome!
Thanks for the question. I think Blogrolls are a great way for blogs to link to each other, and I am honored whenever anyone adds me to their list!
I decided this particular website format is not suited to display a traditional Blogroll, or a general link exchange program. I do, however, link to articles or websites when it is a natural link (contains a resource I discuss)or to give credit where it is due (when I am referencing a person’s article or book, for example).
One great way for my readers to find you if your information is complementary to my message is to post a comment, as you have done.
Thanks again for your secret to positive thinking!

Hi, this is a very good article, but i do believe that even though everything may not be controllable, but whatever happens in ones life, happens to help him achieve what he wants, so may be one can not control individual events but if one sees them in the right perspective, even these events can help one in achieving what he/she wants.
I have just made a new website on positive thinking and i’m looking at ways to make it better, so if you can just check it out and let me know of how i can improve it.

Nice article. I agree with most of what you have written here. I think that some people think the Law of Attraction is all of what creates their success. People should realize that in order for the Law Of Attraction to properly work in their, they must completely understand it. I think that it is definitely a force at work, but their are other factors as well.
Great article!!
Positive thinking is the source of all good things. Thoughts are the seeds of all creations, therefore its wise to make sure that our thoughts are positive ones.
You get more of, on what you focus on.

This can make a change, I’m thankful, this article is really good.
Good article, thanks for the lovely post.
What a wonderfully written and insightful article. I strongly believe in the power of positive thinking, but I believe it must be backed up with action. I see your point about balance. You made me think of the overly optimistic person who always believes everything will be okay, but does nothing to make sure it is so.
I look forward to reading more.
I agree with this article. Thinking positive opens the doors to a wealth of opportunity that may have been overlooked before. Thinking positive can actually help you live longer, according to a study at Yale. I think this article sums it up pretty well.

Have a positive day,

I do like when you said that ” the unexpected does happen. It is what you do next that determines your level of success.” I know from experience,that people today have difficulties including
myself in the past,to deal with an expected in there life’s. If only people would understand,every tragedy,unsuccess ,unluck that is an opportunity in there life.. I remember myself before I’ve seen the Secret I have dealt with AN EXPECTED in my life totally different ,but now I’m more exited when an expected happens in my life,cause I understad now that this is an apportunity for better things to come into my life. Thanks for your insight.
Keep posting, don’t let anybody tell you to quit — it’s a way to connect with others.
I liked the posting & think that it will be helpful for others. Keep up the good work. Good luck.
