How Positive Thinking Is Undermined By Powerful Negative Feelings

7 replies
You see yourself as a powerful multi-millionaire. Thinking positively and feeling pretty darn positive too.

Then creditors call you. Your bills pile up. You are going broke. Negative feelings overpower you if you trust in these appearances, and most of us do. Which is why there are so few REALLY wealthy people out there.

The more attention you give to these negative images and feelings, the more they grow. Your dream has been replaced by a nightmare, and guess who did it...YOU!

Don't be tough on yourself though, there's a fix. It's called obsessing over your vision of until IT becomes the dominating force in your life. Choose to focus on your vision again and again, and it becomes a habit to see what you want and ignore what you don't want. You tend to ignore the negative feelings and see them for what they are: temporary, fleeting circumstances, when you obsess over your vision.

How many of you obsess over your vision? How many of you work hard all day without painting a picture of your dream life?

How many of you work like crazy AND spend 1-2 hours a day painting a picture of your dream life so that you can hold it in the face of all appearances which suggest it isn't coming into form? You, my friends, are the future billionaires of the world.

If you don't see yourself inspiring millions or BILLIONS of people, how the heck is it going to happen? How can you become wealthy unless you've lived a wealthy life on the mental plane? See, be, touch.

    Thank you for the advice. I've already had two people today tell me why my business is not going to succeed. I need to remember the day when it is on "Fastest Growing Small Businesses" list.

    I agree completely . I made a video of my ideal life and i watch my ideal life every day .I am already doing some of it .

    When you watch enough , you start to think how you are going to live it and one day you become the person you dreamed

    Thank you for sharing

      Isn't obsession with the future an escape from the present? Same as obsession with the past. You have to be happy in the present and enjoy your journey (not that I'm able to do it most of the time).
      How day-dreaming about your millions in the future can help you to pay bills now? You can't just ignore them.

      Very few in my experience. It's really rare to hear someone talk about goals that are well-defined.

    Ryan,
    I think there are many instances of negative feelings and on financially front the worry of paying creditors and bills is often the top priority. Failure to do so means going broke. Now, here is a point - FEAR of POVERTY/Bankruptcy instead of becoming a negative force to shake the wealthy mindset it should become a driving force toward gaining financial liberty.

    Good feedback on this post, thanks for sharing

    @sergit The future doesn't exist. Nor does the past. Visualize yourself owning your dream now, because now is when it's becoming real. A difficult concept for us to grasp but a necessary one to master if you are to be free from judging according to appearances.
