Does Positive Thinking Really Have Power?

My vote is no. It's important to have positive thoughts, but just thinking about stuff doesn't make it happen.

The power behind your thoughts is positively the passion behind your thoughts....a desire that can be felt, not just pondererd.

If there is something you want in your life...big or small....it will be the feelings of inspiration and anticipation that will move your thoughts to action - your own action and the action of the world around you. Sometimes those feelings are there and sometimes they aren't....why's that?

Part One, Inspiration, comes from within you....it is tied to your most genuine Self....your Inner Guru. If you don't want something from a point of inspiration, getting it will be a difficult process because it will be driven by what someone else wants for you or what you think the world says you should be. Think about the things you want in your life and start to ask Why? Why do you want more money? Why do you want a different job? Why do you want to find a mate and get married? Why do you want to lose 50 lbs? And after you ask Why?, be prepared to ask Why? of that same desire again...and again...and again...until you get down to the bottom of Why you think you want what you want. If you end up with a Why that's not very personal to you at your core, then it's either not a genuine desire or it's not framed in a genuine way.

Part Two, Anticipation, is your ability to feel that you're going to have the thing your heart desires. You can be all kinds of inspired but if you can't feel the anticipation of what you desire you'll be stuck. Anticipation will come when you allow yourself to believe that you can have something you want. Sometimes previous attempts and failures keep us from anticipation. Lots of times people get mired down in their fear of actually doing or having what they desire and they never get any further. Often people get stopped in their tracks because they don't really believe it's possible to have what they want....and that's just a sign that they need to break down their goal into more manageable bites.
