For those who know me, it won’t come as a surprise to you to hear me say I’m a total optimist.
I really do believe in the power of positive thinking.
Why?
For starters, it feels good.
And I like feeling good.
Who doesn’t?
Secondly, it puts me in a mental state of mind to achieve more.
To keep believing and pursuing my goals, my dreams.
All it is I desire for myself and those I love and care for most.
What’s the alternative?
To be pessimistic and focus on the bad?
No way.
And while thinking positive is great and something I encourage everyone to do, I know positive thinking alone won’t bring me the successes I seek.
I can think and think and think hard about kicking butt at the next marathon I run.
All that thinking will do nothing for me unless I take action.
Whether it’s registering for the race, starting a training program, joining a running group.
Something, anything.
Action.
I must take action.
I can think positive all day long about my podcast reaching and serving people all over the world who listen to it.
However, if I don’t take action, whether it’s coming up with content, creating podcasts, sharing them via social media…
If I don’t take action on all of my positive thinking, I don’t stand a chance at seeing my goals and dreams happen.
I love the book “Think & Grow Rick”.
It was a game-changer for me when I read it.
It’s all about the power of positive thinking.
That said, I wish they would have titled it, “Think, Do, & Grow Rich.”
Success starts with thinking.
But only has a chance if we actually do.
An ounce of doing is worth a pound of thinking.
Couple the two together (positive thinking with action) and success becomes not only likely, but highly probable.
