We all want positive things in our life. We all want to have a life that is happy for a great majority of the time. So how do we do this?
So as stated before the first step to becoming truly positive is to speak positively. After we take the first step we start to convince ourselves that we are indeed a positive person. The second step is to act positively. Acting as if we are begins to convince others that we live a happy and positive existence.
Finally after enough time we begin to truly become that positive person. We first Act, then we Do, and finally we Know. The know comes from within. Some call it wisdom, truth, or possibly enlightenment. I do not want to play it up to something beyond this world; it is simply becoming that positive person.
You no longer have to work at becoming that positive person. You no longer have to consciously say only positive things. You no longer have to act like you are a positive person. You don’t have to do any of those things anymore because you are that person.
We have seen these people before. Sometimes it is quite frustrating to know these people. It seems that whatever they do turns into gold. They find money on the street. They take a wrong turn and discover a beautiful view that was previously unknown to anyone. They walk into a room and everyone feels better. Some people don’t even have to work at this. They don’t know how it happened, or when it happened it just did.
For some of us we have to work at it. Many of us live in a negative bubble. Work is negative, news is negative, and life is negative. So you should first Act as if you are positive. You should Do positive things. And, finally you may become that positive person. It is not easy, but if you work at it anyone can become a great positive person.

I have had a question posed to me quite a lot lately. That question is ‘I say and do positive things all the time, why do bad things still happen to me? How did I bring this on if I am doing positive things?’
I think that people who learn the ways of Karma have this same problem. They do and say all day long, but things still do not happen in their favor. There is a little fact that we overlook when we are in this position. Simply saying and acting positive is not enough to cause a change in your life. It is a hard fact to swallow especially if you have been working very hard for a long time to become as positive as possible.
I have told you if you are a regular reader of this site that to get anything and everything you want you should act and think positively. We have only been going since July 2008 so I have not gotten to the complete message. Here is the rest.
Things will not fully start to happen unless you become positive. What do I mean by that? Saying and acting is simply a first step. It is a way to fool the rest of you into becoming truly a positive person. Once you truly become a positive person things will start to really fall into place.
Once you become a positive person from the inside everything changes. You see things on a different plane, you feel things on a different level, you experience life closer to the way that it should be.
I say closer to the way it should be only because I do not feel that I am at a perfect place yet. Buddah called it Nirvana (not to be confused with the rock band). I think that it is easily attainable by all people to truly become a positive person. This positive spark inside yourself will lead to a happier and more fuller life. I do not think that it is the end of your personal development thought. I think that it is only an important first step. The good news is that many people become this and are happy to stay right there. There is certainly nothing wrong with this I just want it to be known that I do not believe that it is the end of anything.
So act as if you are positive, learn how to become positive, and soon you will be doing positive things with no effort at all. Once this is accomplished you will be on your way to success and prosperity that you have never experienced before.

All leaders use mantra’s, and many don’t even know they are doing it. I like to look at these three great leaders. Here are a few mantras that they have used, and you can use also:
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill quotes
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
History is written by the victors.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Vince Lombardi
Vince Lombardi quotes
Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.
Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.
If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work
It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.
Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Success demands singleness of purpose.
John Wooden
John Wooden quotes
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Be prepared and be honest.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.
It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.
So take these words, I hope you can use them in your life.

No matter who we are we can all use a little boost in self-confidence from time to time. How about using mantras to do this. They are extremely powerful for this and are used for this purpose by many of the most successful people that you will meet.
This of course is the reason that we use mantras. All mantras come down to boosting your self-confidence. As I stated before mantras are meant for you, they are usually written by you, and the really only apply to you. Therefore mantras become a way of you boosting yourself. Lets get right to it.
Need a boost try these:
I am getting better and better every day in every way
My confidence around other people helps me to be a better person, and change peoples lives.
There are always more examples that we can give for self-confidence, but my advice to you is this. Find a specific reason that you feel a little self-doubt. Maybe it is speaking with your boss. Simple create a mantra that will give you strength the next time you must approach him to ask for something. Maybe something like this:
I am a great employee and because of this my boss wants my opinions. I am happy to freely talk to him about how I feel.
Perhaps you have a fear of speaking in front of large crowds. Try this one:
I am a great speaker and people are eager to hear what I have to say. I love to be in front of people and watch them unite with what I have to say.
Maybe you have a lack of confidence in starting something new. This of course is very reasonable but try this:
I am learning and getting better everyday. I bring fresh ideas that have not been used before. I am successful because of my fresh thinking.
A little worried about being too boastful with your new confidence? Try this one out:
I am confident and humble. I never waiver with my confidence, and I am always willing to help others with their own confidence.
Keep going. Before you know it you will be the most confident and successful person that you have ever met.

We all want that one special person in our life. So how do we find that person out of the Billions of people that live on this Earth? Is it chance, circumstances, or luck? I think that you can find your mate by using mantras.
If you are not ready when that right person comes along you may just pass by them and never even get the chance to say hi. I truly believe that. I also believe that you will get another chance. To prepare for that person you must first get yourself ready. If you have been waiting for that right person for a long time and have “struck out” many times, it is probably you who needs to get right. You cannot meet Mr. Right when you are Mrs. Wrong. It also works the other way guys. You will never meet that perfect mate until you are ready to be that person also.
I believed that I would meet that person very soon. I had no picture of that person in my head, but I knew that I would know as soon as I saw her. More importantly my actions were geared toward meeting my future soul mate. I bought a townhouse with the thought of living in it together. I painted the rooms with thoughts of how my future wife would like to have it done. Finally I repeated my mantra:
I am happier than I ever knew I could be with my new soul mate. She is the greatest thing that has happened to me and I know that I am a better person with her around.
That is why I knew that I had met her. She fit exactly into my mantra. Notice it says nothing about looks, nothing about her likes, nothing about her really. The mantra is all about me, and she does make me a better person, there is no doubt.
Look at your life, are you ready for someone else to enter it. Guys is your apartment or house a disaster with your stuff all over the place? Ladies do you have room for a man in your life? All of us can make small changes that lets that person enter our lives. Try this mantra to help encourage your mate to arrive:
My life is free and I am ready to find my mate. My mate is looking for me right now.
Simple mantra but can be very powerful. Be careful with this one, it may just work a little to well.
So if you are struggling to find someone create a mantra of your own that will help you, make you a better person, and get yourself straightened out first.
