Weaving Optimism And Positive Thinking Into Success
We see this every day - person A begins talking enthusiastically about a new opportunity and immediately persons B and C shoot the idea down by focusing only on the negative outcomes that could potentially result.
In other cases they allow emotions like anger to cloud their judgment for no other reason than because they take everything that happens too personally. It's almost as if their egos won't allow them to miss an opportunity to get upset and start an argument.
Coupled with a false sense of indignation they fail to realize that they are actually creating more barriers to resolving whatever the issue may have been in the first place.
While it's true in nature that opposites attract, in real life nothing could be further from the truth. Positive people tend to draw towards other optimistic people, and of course negative people cluster together like schools of baitfish.
The difference between the two groups is that the optimistic ones tend to simply stroll through life knowing that whatever challenges they encounter they will quickly and easily overcome.
A good example of these behaviors is in reviewing two identical technical support requests with diametrically opposite results.
In the first case, the positive customer is experiencing a problem installing a piece of software. Quickly realizing that the problem is beyond their skill level, they call the support hotline confident that resolution to the issue will be forthcoming.
They cheerfully and courteously explain the problem they are experiencing and patiently worked with the support staff to correct it, which happens in a mere 10 minutes.
There's no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen. - Wayne Dyer quote
Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principals which direct them. - Napoleon Bonaparte quote
Yearn to understand first and to be understood second. - Beca Allen Motivational quote
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about. - Charles Kingsley quote
Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves. - Sir James M. Barrie - success quote
Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one is to blame. -Erica Jong famous quote

In the second case the negative customer is experiencing a similar problem.
While the support staff attempts to help the customer, they quickly become frustrated at the customer's refusal to provide the needed information.
The customer insists upon escalating problem to a supervisor or manager where the tirade continues. After 45 minutes of arguing with various supervisors and managers and live no resolution in sight, the customer or threatens to sue or file legal complaints and hangs up without resolving the installation problem.
Optimistic people never worried about encountering problems with anything.
They understand that things happen, more importantly they also understand that there is a solution out there somewhere. Their goal is to simply resolve the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible, which they know they will be able to do some way, somehow.
It's for this reason that those who think positively and optimistically are far more likely to be successful in both their business and personal lives.
They can't help but know that everything is going to work out the way they expected to, if not even better.
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give happiness. - Thomas Jefferson famous quote
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. - Napoleon Hill - success quote
Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction. - Anne Frank Motivational quote
It is good to dream, but it is better to dream and work. Faith is mighty, but action with faith is mightier. - Thomas Robert Gaines quote
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. - John Wooden famous quote
Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory. - Norman Vincent Peale fanus quote
It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. - Mabel Newcomber quote

How Emotions Play a Part in Making Your Goals Happen
Even in your daily life, you are unconsciously doing this. When a friend shares an experience, you create mental pictures to make yourself feel as if you were there with them during that time.
You also visualize when you are deep in thought or when you are thinking about the things that have happened to you. The hard part comes when you have to use that creative force to actually attract your desires.
Whenever you are deep in thought, you channel your energies to the innermost recesses of your emotions. During these simple everyday occurrences, you were able to visualize clearly because you felt as if it were real.
When you have strong emotions towards something, such as anxiety, fear, and pain, you lock yourself away in your inner mind trapped with those sad images. As with visualization, you have to immerse yourself with full emotions.
Many thoughts may come to distract but you have to train your mind to hold those other thoughts.
Emotions play a big role because these fuel you to conjure up those images and make it as vivid as you can.
The Law of Attraction states that the thing you think about the most is the thing you will also attract.
So if you want to know that relationship between the law of attraction and visualization - well, both go hand-in-hand.
Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul. - Charles Buxton Motivational quote
He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. - John Milton famous quote
Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying. - Harry Anderson, "Night Court" quote
The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident. - Charles Lamb - success quote
Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world -- making the most of one's best. - Harry Emerson Fosdick Motivational quote
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has. - Michelangelo - success quote
If you don't have a clear image of what you want, you will not be able to reach your goal.
When you create a visual image in your head, your emotional vibration will attract the desired item towards you.The picture will boost your emotion, thus, harnessing your power towards your dreams. You will be able to exponentially increase the probability of your dreams coming true when you feel passion towards it.
The same goes when you constantly steer your mind towards the negative. Fortunately, negative emotions and feelings seem to be harder to attract.
Basically, a little positive thinking goes a long way. All you need is to clearly see the thing you want to attract and feel the emotion of having attracted that thing.
The rest is up to the universe. When you habitually practice visualization, things will have a way of working out.
More important than talent, strength, or knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams. - Amy Grant famous quote
To succeed... you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you. - Tony Dorsett quote
It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - success quote
The shy man will not learn; the impatient man should not teach. - Hillel Motivational quote
There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there. - Indira Gandhi fanus quote
Bad habits are like chains that are too light to feel until they are too heavy to carry. - Warren Buffet fanus quote
A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. - Francis Bacon quote
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams. - Og Mandino - success quote
Here is a inspirational quotes resource for you to check out:
The power is in the emotion and clear visualization gives your emotions more power.
The clearer you can see your desire, the stronger your feelings. And the stronger your feelings, the sooner you will achieve your dreams.
Therefore, if you want the law of attraction to work, you need to visualize the outcome.
And the clearer the picture and the more emotionally involved you are, the sooner your goal will be realized.
Just an added piece of advice: you can increase the color and brightness when you visualize the desired scene.
If a bad picture enters your mind, change the scene to make it black and white. This helps decrease the negative emotions you feel towards it.
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. famous quote

Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success. - Diana Rankin fanus quote
