On Tuesday, I wrote about the optimism of the longest living Holocaust Survivor, Alice Herz-Sommer.  Today’s blog is about how to become positive and optimistic.  When you make an effort to work on these two attributes daily, a new life arises.

Quantum physics explains the universal Law of Cause and Effect.  Simply stated whatever you concentrate on you are going to attract and create in your life. It means that if you are thinking negatively you are going to get negative results.  For example, if you keep thinking you will not succeed at something you want to do differently, chances are you will not. Remember, all of our thoughts are energy.  Like energy is drawn to like energy.

Are you willing to take responsibility for yourself and begin rooting out the fears and negativity that prevent you from having what you want?  You have a choice to make your life a horror story, a mediocre play or a Broadway Extravaganza.  Which are you going to choose?  Your thoughts have incredible power.  Unfortunately, most people do not pay attention to what they are saying or thinking.  We repeat most of our thoughts over and over.  Therefore, if your thinking mainly negative thoughts, which most of us do, we are rending ourselves powerless.

The place to start is to observe your thinking. Our thoughts work for or against us.  Our mind works like a computer.  It doesn’t care whether we think positively or negatively.  We must understand that for every effect in our lives, there is a thought pattern that precedes and maintains it.

At times letting go of old thinking can be brutal, think of a person who struggles with addiction, it’s no different.  Your self-sabotaging thoughts are so ingrained in you that you live totally unaware of them.   The truth is:  every negative thought is a lie.  Your small little ego which takes up a minute portion of your sub-conscious is holding you hostage.  This is why having a mastermind group, mentor or coach will be invaluable.  They will be able to support you in ways that will force you to look at yourself and your denials and break through them.

People stay successful because they are tenacious and never give up on improving themselves.  They work hard at keeping great positive energy and being passionate.  You can have it, too.  Just make the commitment!
