The truth is we
live in a negative "cat kicking" world. Most of what we
hear and see from the media is depressing and it's easy to get caught up
in it. Most people would rather talk about the bad side of things
more than the good side. While it's true that positive talking and
thinking will not solve all your problems, positive talking and thinking
is much better for you than negative talking and thinking. As Zig
Ziglar likes to say, "Positive thinking won't solve all your
problems, however, positive thinking will get you a lot further than
negative thinking will".
You need to set aside some time each day (at
least 30 minutes) to listen to something positive and uplifting.
You might say, "Bill, I am so busy that I don't have time to do
this". If you are like a most people, you probably spend at
least 30 minutes per day in your car driving to and from work, calling
on customers, shopping, picking up the kids, etc. Use this time to
start doing something positive for your like and listen to positive and
uplifting tapes, CD's or MP3's. You may already have a collection
of positive tapes & CD's collecting dust. Start today to
listen to them.
Here is some motivation and positive listening
from my collection.
