How can Positive Thinking Help You In Your Business?

A lot of people fail to reach their full potential in business. Why?

Do this simple exercise:

Make a list of all the reasons that you can think of for this.
Evaluate and rank these reasons. 1st is the most important reason, 2nd being the second most important reason and so on.
After ranking the reasons in order of their importance classify them as internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are those over which people have control like level of confidence, fear, anger etc. whereas external factors are those over which one has no control like government policies etc.
Now review your list after all these steps, in most cases you will find that its the internal factors in your list that are ranked above the external ones. According to Dr. James Fadiman when we get stuck while reaching a goal, it usually isnt because we need to learn a new technique. Rather, its because weve run up against one or more internal barriers. Until we deal with those inner obstacles, all the good intentions, plans and motivational strategies in the world wont be good enough to see us through to our goals.

What Positive thinking can do is help you overcome these internal barriers.

Now what about external factors?

In the words of stoic philosopher Epictetus Man is disturbed not by the things but the views that he takes of those things.

In most cases, the external factors are same for all the companies in the same area dealing in similar products. Still some are successful and others not so successful.

Its we who can choose to let the external factors defeat us, or we who can choose to view them in a hopeful expectant manner (positive thinking). And when we view these external factors in this manner, we find ways on how to use these so called external factors to our own advantage. And then we realize that we really can -and do - have a control over the external factors as well. i.e. these external factors are not really external to us.
