The Power of Positive Thinking

Written by: Russ Lombardo

Article Overview: Just when you think you can't take any more, that's when positive thinking can save you. People tend to get caught up in negative thinking, and you must remember that -- Positive Thinking Yields Positive Results and Negative Thinking Yields Negative Results. This is a true-life story that you should remember whenever you find yourself thinking negative thoughts.

The Power of Positive Thinking

Years ago, before the Soviet Union was separated into individual states, there was a railroad mechanic working inside a railroad refrigerator car doing some repairs. Without warning, the door suddenly closed shut with the mechanic inside. The only way to open the door was from the outside. So the mechanic began banging on the door for help. Unfortunately, it was late in the workday and nearly everyone was gone for the day. After what seemed like an eternity banging and yelling for help, the mechanic resolved himself to the fact that he would be spending the night in that car.

The next day when the other workers returned to the work site, they opened the refrigerator car door only to find their colleague dead on the floor. They noticed writing on the wall – writing from their dead co-worker. There were 4 lines written. They said:

- It’s starting to get very cold
- It’s getting difficult to breath
- I realize that I am going to die in here
- These will be my last words

These words, and the resulting death of their friend, perplexed the workers. You see, due to an electrical problem in the cooling system, the refrigeration unit was not operational and the temperature inside the car never went lower than 56 degrees all night. Also, the car was not airtight and there was plenty of oxygen inside the car. Therefore, their only conclusion was that their poor colleague willed himself to death.

Positive thinking yields positive results. Negative thinking yields negative results. Don’t get caught thinking negatively. The results are almost always predictable and often devastating.

Good Luck & Good Selling!

Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.

Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
