"The best way to overcome undesirable or negative thoughts and feelings is to cultivate the positive ones." --William Walker Atkinson
I wrote this article after a conversation with a collegue who had all but given up. As I listened to this lost soul pour his heart out with one negative thought after another, I thought to myself, it's no wonder he's failing. If I had an attitude like that towards life and business I would have quit trying to succeed on the internet a year ago, or even today. I tried to instill the power of positive thought in this person and I sincerely hope that he's going to hang in there. There is something positive in every aspect of life, whether it be success or failure.
Positive Creativity is a way of using your imagination to create positive results. You already use this technique in your daily rituals with or without knowing it. Everybody uses this "Positive Creativity" in his or her daily lives. Many of us use it in a completely unconscious way every day. Unfortunately, too many of us have such an overabundance of negative concepts about life, love and experiences. We too often believe that limitations, difficulties and plain old bad luck are our lifetime partners. In believing this consciously or unconsciously, we negatively create problems in life for ourselves.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to learn how to use Positive Creativity in everyday life, thus learning to use it in the business arena as well. If you can learn to use your positive creative imagination in a more conscious way, you can create enjoyment, love, fulfillment and ultimately business and sales. Positive Creativity is not something you learn in class or from a book. It's something that you nurture and develop within yourself. It's a way of doing things by leaving your negative thoughts behind you.
Your imagination gives you the ability to create a picture or structure an outcome in your mind. Once you create a clear picture of what want and focus on that goal, it can become reality using "Positive Creativity". This goal could be anything from love, to a new car, to a new home, to a new business idea.
An important thing to realize here, is that if you dream big, but think small you will have a "small" result. Dreams are important, but unless you are prepared to put them into action, by doing something about those big dreams, they will always remain only dreams. Use your Positive Creativity to lead you down your path of success and help you make your dream a reality. Your dreams must be converted from abstract visions by positively creating concrete thoughts and plans. Once you have a worthwhile dream, it is time to stop dreaming and start creating. This requires the use of "Positive Creativity". I'm not saying rush into your dreams blindly, but being cautious does not mean being negative. Stop, relax and begin to think positively about what it is you want. Use your Positive Creativity to plan and strategize. Get that positive feeling within yourself and begin to plan.
Too often people don't realize how negative thought hinders their success in life. You must have a positive outlook and you must learn how to use your "Positive Creativity". You must mentally experience it as if it has already happened. Not only does this help your Positive Creativity, but aides you in your planning.
In Closing:
If you consider what I have said here, I mean seriously consider it, and
make positive thought a part of your life, you may want to prepare yourself
for some awesome results!
