The Power of Positive Thinking!

How do you develop The Power of Positive Thinking?

It wasn't until I started to read The Power of Positive Thinking books by my early mentors like Norman Vincent Peale and Dale Carnegie, did I realize what they could offer me. I controlled my personal growth and destiny. 

I have to admit there was a time when I worried way to much about what other people thought of me. Did they like me? Did I wear the "right" clothes, was I good enough?

Do you know Paul Potts?  Are you the next Paul Potts?

What I began to think about was who I would become. If I thought about being average and doing everything I was told, then I would be just that, "average".  If I wanted to be a champion, to live out my dreams,  I would be a champion. 

I knew God had a bigger plan for my husband and family, but what? I knew I wanted to stay home with my kids, so continuing to teach kindergarten for the next 30 years was out. I wanted to bring my husband home and have the freedom to do what I wanted to do, not what my job dictated.

While reading Cynthia Kersey's book, Unstoppable Women, I realized I could achieve anything I set my positive mind too.

Obviously, we would need an income to survive. I wanted to work from home, with my family. Was this possible without investing money we didn't have?

If you are interested in learning more about my story, grab something
to drink, relax and click here.

My positive mentors below continue to challenge my thinking and push me to set higher goals every day. I have a passion for my work and my freedom to do what I want. And the funny thing; it isn't about the money.

I live to help others. It is truly what we are called to do. So can you.

I have a plaque on the wall of my office which has a
quote - "You can have anything you want, if you help enough people get what they want."  - Zig Ziglar

I received this for being recognized as the "Team Player of
the Year"
for my company. I received it, not because I tried
to "win" it, but because I put others first, I helped others
get what they wanted, and it was a joy to do so!

Paul Robert Potts (born 13 October 1970) is a British pop opera tenor who won the first series of ITV's Britains Got Talent in 2007, singing an operatic aria, "Nessun dorma" from Puccinis Turandot. Potts was a manager at Carphone Warehouse who also performed in amateur opera from 1999 to 2003.

Aerosmith's "I don't want to miss a thing" is also featured in the clip, for those that keep asking! For all those that seem to think Paul is a pro in disguise, please realise the following. - Bath Opera is an amateur opera company staging a small number of productions a few times each year. - Paul has performed in just 4 four productions with this company - Paul has attended some masterclasses in Italy. These courses are designed for talented amateurs. All of these are paid for by those attending. - A few masterclasses, even one with the great man do not constitute "a formal opera training" by any stretch of the imagination. - Professional opera singers earn their living by treading the boards night after night week-in week-out, year after year with professional opera companies. - Paul, has never earned a single penny from opera performance, other than winning a tv talent show in 1999 - the winnings funding masterclasses. - Paul has not performed since 2003. - He is not a professional opera singer pretending to be a mobile phone sales man, but rather he is a mobile phone salesman aspiring to be an opera singer. - An operatic voice IS a trained voice. Hmmmm, perhaps if I can buy a few classes at a pro cookery school, I can pass myself off as a highly experienced pro chef.....hmmmmm......

It is so true that positive thinking can change your life.

There are way too many negative people in this world, if
they could only apply 10% of positive thinking, their lives
would be changed for the best.
