Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
Don’t believe me? Think that’s too much, to optimistic, or too unrealistic? It’s not. It’s Positive Thinking Day.
You can’t change anything else, so you might as well start to work on you.
You can’t change the economy. We see signs right now that tough economic times may be coming soon. Tim Berry, Palo Alto Software, calls them Economic Dark Clouds, in a post at Small Business Trends. Berry’s ultimate conclusion: those storm clouds don’t matter as much as your own small business decisions.
You can’t change your small town. Unless you move. And even then, people are still people, no matter whether it’s Waynoka, Oklahoma, or Kamanjab, Namibia.
The closest you can come to changing the people you interact with, is to change yourself.
You can’t change job, your business or your finances until you change.
You can’t change anything else, so you might as well start to work on you.
The official affirmation for Positive Thinking Day is I choose to create a great day!
So why don’t you? Choose to create a great day! Just for today. And then, just for one more day. And then, just one more, and one more and one more, until it is your habit.

Hi Becky,
Thanks again for your support!
You are so right… if we make a commitment to one day and then another and another… we will soon be consistently positive. If we all do this, imagine what the world would be like!
Thanks, Kirsten! Imagine what our businesses would be like.
Hi Becky, If you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right. If you don’t have a positive attitude you can easily defeat yourself. Anita
Thanks, Anita. Glad you stopped in!
When I was a Wee lad ( thats a Scottish euphemism for Young boy ) my Fathers Friend would always say to me . “Think Positive” that was pretty much his whole conversation with me.
But those words twisted and warped my mind and left me with an undeniably canny ( another Scottish word ) ability to think positive and get positive results. There is alot to be said for the power of not giving up and being consistent in your attitude that things can be achieved.
That said, I will leave with .
Great post and great find thank you!
Thanks, RH. I’m glad you liked it.
You know, you remind me of a certain Loud Mouth Man …
