Positive Thinking in 3D

When you employ the power of positive thinking, how do you apply it? Are you working to overcome a limiting mindset or to adopt a positive one? Do your positive thoughts include pictures, sounds and feelings?
.
While we’re at it, what is your vision for your life based on? Did you form it around your past, your present or your future?”
.
You and I have these movies we play in our head. They start with a dialog and then move into pictures. Then they become moving pictures, and finally, we attach feelings to them.
.
These movies and the feelings that come with them are what I like to call our personal visions. They are three-dimensional and they have feelings attached. These personal visions are great motivation generators.
.
The energies that fuel our ability to attract and our ability to act grow out of these visions.
.
The degree of contrast between what is actually taking place in our life now, and what we envision achieving, motivates us to close the gap as we move towards that vision.
.
These Energies Can Be Defined As:
.
- Enthusiasm
- Physical Energy
- Courage
- Persistence
- Confidence
- Conviction
- Creativity
.
When you and I are motivated enough, meaning we are producing the energies from this list; we can, and we will, do just about anything we set our minds to.
.
So the question is: What have we set our minds to do?  
.
The greatest opportunity for a misunderstanding here is to think that what you and I want, even what we have a burning desire for, is in fact what we have set our minds to. There is often a huge difference.
.
For example, think of something you have wanted for a long while; something you’ve wanted very badly and may have even worked hard for, but are no closer to having now than when you started wanting it.
.
Now think of something you have felt for some time was inevitable. Something you have often seen happening in your mind’s eye. Something you believe will happen, whether you really want it to or not. Notice how it seems to always happen, or how you seem to progress towards it. This is no coincidence! You attract it into existence. 
.
Motivation has no conscience
.
It does not care what you want. It is not dependent on what you want or don’t want; need or don’t need. It only manifests in accordance with what you expect, what you attract: the movies you watch; the scenarios in which you believe.
.
Now let’s talk about Belief
.
Let’s say that you really, really want to reap some future prosperity. You really want to raise your income to the next level. But is it possible to believe you will, when perhaps you never have? Will positive thinking be enough to manifest that prosperity? 
.
Without mastering the Art of Vision, Attraction and Motivation, we will tend to believe only those things that we have actually experienced. When we allow our own experiences to establish our beliefs, we tend to stay stuck in creating a circle of mediocrity. We will go round and round, producing the same quality of results.
.
This reminds us of the definition of insanity is: “Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result!”
.
How do we break the cycle?
.
The only way to break this cycle and produce unprecedented results is to establish a belief about your future that has no connection to the past. You have to establish a new belief that is in alignment with what you want, not in alignment with what you have achieved. To do this, you must believe in the greatest gift and greatest secret of success. What is it?
 .
The part of us that is powerful beyond comprehension, our energy, our emotions, our thoughts, and our subconscious mind. This part of us cannot tell the difference between a real experience and one that has been vividly imagined. Think about that…
.
It cannot tell the difference between you imagining you earn an extra $10,000 every month and you actually earning an extra $10,000 a month.
.
The conscious mind can definitely tell the difference. It’s the part of us that will attempt to limit our expectations according to past results. This is the part of us that sits in a movie and says, “It’s not real, it’s just pretend, performed by actors and actresses.”
.
So on some levels, the conscious mind is fairly limited as an asset for producing greatness. In contrast, the part of us that is unlimited and extraordinary sits in a movie and sheds tears of joy or sadness, or responds however the writers, directors and actors intended for us to respond. That part of us cannot tell the difference because it is fully involved in the experience.
.
So ask yourself these feeling based questions
.
If you really had been earning $10,000 a month, what do you feel you could expect to earn next month? How would you feel about the opportunities in front of you? Who would you be willing to approach? What would you sound like? What feelings would others get from you? What level of enthusiasm would you convey? How optimistic would you be, how creative? How much confidence would you have.
.
Compare those answers to how you currently approach your income and opportunities. If there is a difference, your current vision is anchored in the present; and if you are only earning $1,000 a month you will be representing a $1,000-a-month opportunity. That $9,000 difference is huge when it comes to how you present yourself and where you see opportunity.
.
Take advantage of your hidden resources. Make up your own movie of what you EXPECT life to be like. The part of you that will get it done cannot tell the difference, and it will move in accordance with your vision. It will start moving now, and it will move powerfully and purposefully the moment your movie begins to play.
.
Okay, those are my thoughts, what do you think?
Do you agree or disagree?
Did I leave something out?
Let’s discuss it!
