Get Over Your Fear Of Goals
Why Positive Thinking Wont Work
Why Positive Thinking Wont WorkPositive thinking doesnt work. I know Ive tried it. Ive tried it a lot. Ive taught positive thinking to thousands and thousands of people. And they were still slightly frustrated and annoyed. They would get miserable and pissed off or theyd go into states of depression. These were really effective, powerful people. These were the people who were doing the affirmations, the visualizations and they were doing all of the things that weve been taught over the years to be positive. But that didnt seem to work. And yet, for all intent and purposes, they were pretty positive compared to other people.
But were they in a state of bliss? No. They werent in a state of bliss. Positivity doesnt work because when people talk about being positive, what theyre talking about is the affect of a particular point of view. An affect. In other words, I am positive when I view the world in this way.
So when I view the world in a non-resistant way, when I am in a state of total and complete acceptance of all people in all situations at all times, including myself, Im naturally positive. Im naturally upbeat. Im naturally in a state of joy and feeling good.
When I am resisting and making things wrong, making people wrong, being upset, being annoyed and being agitated, then, Im naturally not positive. It doesnt matter how many affirmations I do. If I am looking in the mirror saying, I am powerful. Im unstoppable. Im the best., Im not dealing with the real issue.
Maybe I am upset with myself for being in the job that Im in. I am scared about my finances. My kids are pissing me off lately. I look at myself in the mirror, and I think to myself, What are you doing, fattie? All of those things are occurring, and Im saying, Im powerful, Im unstoppable. I am the best. You have the drunk monkey swinging out of the jungle and saying, Shut up, stupid. Youre fat. Youve got problems, etc, etc.
See, saying positive affirmations is nothing more than trying to be something other than what you are. I know that the old saying is fake it til you make it. But, my friend, I can tell you I have faked it and I didnt make it because I was successful, succeeding, affective, powerful, but still frustrated and annoyed. I kept wondering when I was going to reach actual positivity. I just kept wondering why I was not really happy. I had the Mercedes, the nice house, a beautiful wife, and I received the accolades and the success. But where was the happiness?
I realized that you have to deal with the stuff inside. You need to understand that you have a brain that wants to survive in a world where youre definitely going to die. You have to understand that there is an operational procedure going on in your head that doesnt care about you, doesnt care about your goals and dreams, doesnt care about the people in your life. It is making you wrong and everything else wrong, in the spirit of trying to survive. It is only trying to survive. You need to use the game-changer formula, which is to see the mind for what it really is so that you can suddenly become flexible, which will then reveal a whole new set of options and give you power.
I want you to practice total and complete acceptance of all people in all situations at all times including yourself. No matter what. No matter what people do. I want you to see it from their perspective, see it from their opinion, see it from their point of view.
When youre in an honoring, appreciating, accepting, and understanding mode, youre literally in a state of fearlessness. And when youre in fearlessness, youre automatically positive. Youre automatically positive. Youre automatically optimistic. Youre inspired, and youre in action. This is my goal for you. Try it on.
