The True Power of Positive Thinking
from:"If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you can move mountains."
This is one of the most inspirational verses in the Bible. It also tells us just how much faith can affect our lives. The power of positive thinking can be observed in what people with enough faith have accomplished in history.
People have built businesses based on the faith that they would not fail. People have dared to think that creating the Suez Canal was possible, and they did it. The true power of positive thinking is not found in finances, it is in human achievement.
The mentality of people today is so materialistic that we tend to measure achievement in terms of cash. We only understand the marvel of a building if we learn just how much it cost. We tend to measure a person's success in his or her profession by how much he or she makes, not by how much he or she has contributed to the field of study. That is the reason why we have forgotten about the true power of positive thinking.
The true power of positive thinking lies in faith. Faith can cause a person's success and may also lead to his downfall. It is said that there is more faith in a doubtful man than in every priest in the world. This is very true.
You can see how much a self-doubting man can lose in a matter of days. You can observe just how many failures a person with self-doubt can experience in his or her lifetime.
Positive thinking can turn this around. If self-doubt is a form of faith, then it will take another form of faith to overcome it. The true power of positive thinking lies in the fact that it can eliminate self-doubt.
The greatest battle that man takes part in happens within. The power of positive thinking helped the allied forces win World War II. The power of positive thinking is evidenced in the way the paratroopers of Easy Company jumped from their planes, knowing in the back of their minds that they will win the war.
The power of positive thinking is that it defeats the worst enemy man has ever known: the self. Whenever you are trying to make a decision, you have an internal conflict. One road leads to greatness and the other leads to failure. Without positive thinking, you will not be able to do the things that you need to do in order to become successful. In fact, without positive thinking, you won't be able to do anything at all. You will just wait on that decision until your action (or lack thereof) becomes irrelevant.
Did that scenario sound familiar? Have you ever experienced an event in your life when you struggled so long with your self-doubt that time erased the relevance of your decision? The power of positive thinking is that you will be able to make decisions when they are needed. The power of positive thinking is that it can overcome that feeling of being frozen on the spot. Because of optimism, you will be able to look for any opportunity that will lead to your success.
The true power of positive thinking is not about making you a lot of money. It is about letting you do what you need in order to succeed. Whatever your definition of success is, the power of positive thinking can help you achieve it.
