Positive Thoughts 乐观思维 （英汉双语）.docVIP

Positive Thoughts It is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative. In fact, it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done. However, it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what your circumstances. Doing so empowers you like nothing else can. To think positively is to align1 yourself with the truth that you’re immersed2 in a universe of limitless2, growing abundance3. To think positively is to graciously accept that your life is destined for meaningful and unique fulfillment. Instead of placing a judgment on your situation, apply your most positive intentions to that situation. Instead of seeing the world as negative, see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities. If you find yourself giving in to negativity4, you are selling yourself short. The moment you feel the slightest twinge of a negative thought, stop and remind yourself how powerful you are. Do the disciplined, intentional work to keep your thoughts positive. Because whatever you most consistently think, is where your life will surely and steadily go.

Let the Efforts Flow Hold yourself to a high standard, yet don’t be so critical1 of yourself that you never get anything done. What you do is worthy and valuable even though it may not be perfect.
