The Magic Of A Positive Attitude

When you act as if it is impossible to fail, something magical happens.  This shift in attitude from desiring something to convincing yourself that it is on its way, triggers opportunities that will astound you.

"If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams," said Henry David Thoreau, "and endeavor to live the life you have imagined, you will meet with unexpected success."

This ancient idea has attained almost mystical proportions.

Here is what James Allen said about it:  "You will become as great as your dominant aspiration.  If you cherish a vision, a lofty ideal in your heart, you will realize it."

The truth is that we are limited only by our own imagination.  And, with that same imagination, we can turn things around for us and begin to progress toward the life of our fondest dream.

All it takes is the will to move forward and the evidence for your conviction will soon start to pile up for you.

Your only caveat should be:  "Don't dream too small!"

How does the magic happen?

Your subconscious mind is always saying "yes!"  If you affirm that you can do something, then your subconscious mind is saying "yes" to it.

When you convince yourself that you will succeed, you open up a vast reservoir of psychic energy to go to work for you.   

This psychic energy expresses itself in many ways: some natural, others preternatural.  You will have confident moods, experience synchronicity and serendipidity, and start seeing the gift in every adversity that arises from your inexperience.

Success begins with a clear, focused picture of your end result. 

Patanjali, in the Yoga Sutras, written ca. 250 B.C., said it best:

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds.  Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.

"Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

Your life is a yoga practice, a spiritual journey from doubt and fear to confidence

A positive, proactive attitude is a spiritual healing.
