What did Positve Thinking Ever Do For Anyone?
How can the way one think effect everything that happens to them? Is it due to an attitude? Is it a perception? Is it a physical thing that is happening?
The easy answer is yes. It is all those things. Positive thinking effects everything that happens to us, and everything that goes on in our lives. It changes perceptions, it changes attitudes, and it is a physical thing that can manifest into infinite possibilities.
How? Lets take them piece by piece.
Perception
By simply thinking positively you can change the perception of everything. If you are having bad thoughts, negative thoughts you will begin to see the bad and negative things in everything around you. You will see every negative piece of everything. You probably know someone like that. You probably have observed them tear something down that you saw to be really great. They don’t even see the good things. They are blinded by their negativity.
You have probably been in a situation where you are in a good mood and happy. You see all these great and positive things. You are very happy. The negative person with you sees none of that. Your positive thoughts let you see more than what is there. You see the beauty of everything. It is a much happier existence.
Attitude
Thinking positively will change your attitude toward everything. I hope that some of you who are reading this are teachers. Teaching is truly the greatest profession, and it is the least appreciated and least compensated. How do you look at your students? Actually lets take it one step further. How do you look at your low performing students?
If you look at them negatively how will they act? They will act negatively. They will do poorly on test, they will act out in class, they will rebel and you have no idea why. It is because of your subconscious negative attitude toward them. You have already decided that they are going to do negative things. They are simply living down to your expectations. OK not you I know. But you probably know of teachers who are like this.
What if you look at these same low performing students in a very positive light. What if you simply look at these low performing students as great students who have yet to get the information needed to shine? What will they do then? They will start off as a dull light bulb. They will not really know what is going on. They are probably used to having people look at them negatively all their lives. You begin to look at them in a positive light and they do all right but they still are not sure how to act. When they figure it out they begin to shine. Sometimes becoming the best students in your class. They begin to shine like the sun. Why?
It is your attitude. You put that positive attitude in your students through your positive thoughts. It is infectious. They begin to think positively about themselves, and the class. They begin to do well. They are now stars.
Physical Process
So how does your positive thinking transfer into physical things? I am about to get really technical now but stay with me if you are not so technical. It will make sense in the end.
Your brain gives off small electrical pulses when you think a thought. It can actually be measured. There is a great explanation to this in the DVD The Secret. That electrical impulse has to effect something. What does it effect? It effects other electrical impulses around you. It actually makes a small electrical field around you. Now do you want that electrical field to be positive or negative? I prefer it to be positive.
Whoa, that is a little deep. Lets make an example for the guys. Women you can follow along because it is about you to. Guys we have all been in a position where you look across the room and see a beautiful woman. Maybe it happened with your current girlfriend or wife. We see them and make eye contact. Now if we are too desperate she looks away and never looks back. Being desperate is a very negative frequency in thought. Women hate this. But what happens when we are confident, when 
we are happy/ When we are least expecting it? Don’t we usually seem to meet the best looking women when we are just having fun and least expecting it? Why? Because fun, happiness, and confidence is a very positive thought process. It is also very sexy to women. Am I wrong ladies?
That positive feeling and thought process sends little electrical waves or electrical energy into the air. If you are happy isn’t it usually contagious? How does the good looking woman across the room notice you? It is not because you are being loud and obnoxious. It is because you are sending out the positive wavelength of a physical thought. She is picking up on that.
Try being positive about everything and anything of an entire day. Journal it. See how things have turned out. See how much energy you have at the end of the day. How do you feel? Are you ready for the next day?
Try it, your life will be much different using some positive thought.
Conceive It, Believe It, Achieve It

I liked this post… I liked the attitude… I loved the optical illusion.
However, some of the “negative” people in life are mentally ill. I know one. She tries and tries and tries to see positive, but her brain is basically broken. She is trying, but she hasn’t been successful yet in thinking positively. Just thought readers might want to be aware of this fact before writing off every negative person. Some can’t help it.
There are many negative people in life. I don’t think that they are mentally ill though. I do think that they should be avoided, but not at all costs. I have a lot of negative people in my life. What one has to know is to first not let that negative vibe spill over into your life. Don’t fall into their trap of negativity. Second be helpful to them. It is not fun to go through life with a dark cloud hanging over you, or someone you know and like. Stay positive around them. Don’t argue but try to influence their way of thinking. You may be surprised to see that they come out of their dark cloud and end up really liking the sunshine.
Interesting knowledge about the electric field, and I certainly agree with positivism above pessimism. But be aware of the fact that an very positive attitude usually results in more social interaction. For example, when you’re happy you are more likely to start a chat with a stranger on the train or bus. This social interaction though, usually costs a lot of energy, the reaction of the addressed person determinates weather that energy is returned to you. I’ve work as a fundraiser, you face to face address people on street level and try, due to an positive attitude and good arguments, to get folks to donate monthly to a good cause. Rejections after an intensive dialogue can be very disappointing and energy consuming. The opposite is also true, a positive response gives you a tremendous moral booster.
