text: I think the basis of Positive thinking is that whatever your major focus is on, is the best way to make it happen. Not everything will turn out exactly as you want it too..but when your mind is focused on positive things and positive thoughts, you start producing more positive results. The best illustration I can think of is like when you bowl or golf, I was taught that when you let go of the ball in bowling, to leave your arm pointed in the direction you want the ball to go and not to put your arm down immediately. It works. But it's because some people bring their arm down just a fraction of an instant before they let go of the ball and that changes the direction of the ball. So if you leave your arm pointed where you want it to go and it's a habit to do that, then more than likely your ball will head where you want it too. And your mind works the same way. A positive minded person always believes there is a way to accomplish something and most of them do. A negative thinker almost always thinks something can't be done and because of that, they give up and it doesn't happen. You fail before you start because your mind is overwhelmed with the thought that it can't happen in the first place. When you keep your mind focused and believe that something can be done...you usually do find a way to do it. Just make sure you really want what you ask for.
