Positive Thinking - Will it Guarantee Success?

Probably everyone that you talk to today is familiar with the concept of positive thinking and it’s power. However, I have found, in talking to many people, that even though they have attempted to utilize this power of thought, they have been very disappointed with the results. For some, it seemed to be a hit and miss thing. For others, it was a complete failure.
Why would it work for some people and not for others…and for those that did have some measure of success with it, why did it only work occasionally. Should we then assume that the power of positive thinking is a fallacy? So many books have been written about the subject, many ending up on the New York Best Sellers list, that surely there has to be something to it.
I have spent a number of years studying the mind and the power of thoughts. What a great number of people fail to realize, is that our sub-conscious mind is so much more powerful than our conscious mind. That being the case, we most often end up sabotaging ourselves because we do not understand the power of what is locked in our mind at the sub-conscious level and how it prevents us from accomplishing our goals.
I highly recommend a book by Dr. Robert Anthony, entitled “Beyond Positive Thinking. A No-Nonsense Formula for Getting the Results You Want”. In his book, Dr. Anthony explains the primary functions of the sub-conscious mind and how we have to go about reprogramming the information buried inside.
For example, our goal might be to buy that waterfront property that we know is coming on the market next year. We think constantly about it and we have written affirmations that we recite daily. We have even made ourselves an impressive ‘vision board’ with a large full color picture of us standing outside the home. We have blown the picture up and it practically covers the entire board. We spend time each day looking at it and imagining living in that home.
Fast forward a year and we find that nothing has moved us closer to owning that dream property. What could be the reason for that? Well, one of the main reasons is that on a sub-conscious level we have imprinted in our memories something that leads us to believe that we perhaps cannot afford it, or maybe that we are not worthy of owning it. Until we can identify these negative thoughts that are buried deep in our sub-conscious, and reprogram them, we are not going to be able to move forward and achieve our goals.
So when there is no conflict between the conscious and the sub-conscious minds, our positive thinking and upbuilding affirmations will more than likely result in a successful outcome. Where there is a conflict, it is 100% certain that the sub-conscious will win out. It is literally thousands upon thousands of times more powerful than our conscious mind.
Positive thinking is obviously always the better way to go but to ensure that we get the results we are looking for, we have to do a detailed self-examination and understand the hidden and locked-in negative thinking that could be holding us back from the desired outcome.
I truly believe that everything is possible, but we have to do a little homework to get there…just thinking it so, is not going to do it!!
Each and every one of us can have whatever our heart desires. Clear those negative memories from your sub-conscious and you will be well on your way to the success that you deserve.
