Many people know about positive thinking and try to use it in their everyday lives in some way. However most people may also be making this common positive thinking mistake. You may well be being held back significantly by just this one most harmful of errors.

An example will more clearly illustrate the mistake to which I am referring to. Often people will think positively/pray or ask to attain something. Now the problem with this is then people wait for some sort of answer, response or sign for them to continue and go any further. Often this sign is not forthcoming and then people give-up thinking that the power of positive thinking or prayer power doesn’t work. Well, I mean for sure nothing will happen, and neither will anything happen in the future if all you do is sit and think about what you want and nothing else.

I am not advising to simply not pray, but what I do think is that you should firstly make a decision about what your desired outcome is and take some definite practical action to achieve those ends. By doing things in this manner you will easily be able to make out by your feelings whether or not you are on the right path to your desires or not. By actually taking action you will get either a good or bad feeling about what you are doing. If it feels correct and right for you then continue, if it does not feel so good then back off and try something different.

I realize that this approach is really the opposite of the most preached philosophy of ask and receive but have you ever sat and asked for something and without doing any work what so ever had it fall into your hands…No, I presumed not. And besides if something happens to you randomly when you have just been waiting for something to happen and something good does happen then it is still certainly not you who is in control of your life, however if you would just boldy step out and start to take action you begin to retake control… a major difference.

The premise for this theory is that we are made in the image and likeness of god. We do indeed have god like qualities, we are free to create what we truly want. I am more than certain that you are familiar with the analogies of: id-ego-superego, father-son-holy ghost which all add up to much the same thing really: thought-word-action. By simply aligning your thoughts, words and deeds together you will be more than capable of creating the situations, circumstance and outcomes in your life that you desire. In this way you really are able to display god-like qualities.

However, if your only action is to pull up a seat and take it east waiting for something to happen then I must apologise but I do believe you will be sat waiting for quite sometime to come. So instead I urge you to take some positive action, then monitor your thoughts and feelings to decide if that action is the correct thing for you to do or not. Trust your feelings as a vauable guidance system! They are truly a wonderful gift. So move forward, realise that you can create the life that you want, if you take control, go ahead and do it. However, think on this: If you think you can’t then you most certainly won’t be able to, yet if you believe that you can, then ‘yes’ you certainly will be able to do it one way or another! The secret is to know that you can and act like you have it already, don’t be afraid to explore any of the excellent personal development products that are on the market today and can help you with this
