My thoughts

When you have I can attitude, how will that thing happen will automatically come and becomes easy. If you sit and wonder whether is able to do it or not, then how will never develop. The solution comes, ways comes only after you believe that yes you’ll able to do it.

For example, if you believe that yes you’ll able to start your own business, then how you’ll going to start will automatically become easy. Hence believe your self and always have I am positive and I can do it attitude.

There is a saying, I CAN, I WILL END OF STORY.

Magic of Thinking Big Summary Lesson 2: Cure yourself of excusitis, the failure disease

Here author says, you must have seen the more successful individual is, the less he makes excuses, But people who have no goals, no plans about their life and don’t know where he wants to go and haven’t achieved anything in his life, always have excuses about his life about not doing anything, they always have explanation why they haven’t able to achieve anything, why they don’t, why they can’t and why they aren’t etc.. and the list for excuses and explanations for not doing anything goes on.

There are kind of people who always crib. They never think and plan for themselves they just talk and crib and at last they give excuses of not doing their work such as,

Today I am tired, il do this work tomorrow

I am not doing this because I am too told, I can’t follow my passion because of my age

I am not smart, they able to do it because they are smart

Luck is with them

Those who have luck only they become successful

And blablablabla excuses explanations, negativity goes on.

The author says, successful people never give excuses, they know what they are doing why they are doing, it is mediocre people who always have excuses for doing nothing, they are not getting anywhere in life because of their excuses and lack of belief in themselves.

Successful people never waste their time on excuses, they know what they are doing is possible and they find out ways to achieve it.

People who believe that successful people become rich and successful just because of the luck factor, so that’s not a fact, luck has very little to do with whether will be successful or not, it’s all about the actions we take on a daily basis. It is we who decides our destiny If you want to become successful, you will follow people who are successful and learn from them, and if you always crib you will surround yourself with negative people who don’t have any plan or goals about their life.

My thoughts

Instead of always feeling negative or complaining start believing yourself, the moment you start believing yourself is the moment you see the difference in your life.

But believing yourself doesn’t mean, sitting at home, watching television and believing that everything will come to you because you believe yourself, no for achieving what you want, you need to get up and come out of your comfort zone.

Your belief your efforts your hard work smart work will take you to the position, what you always needed.

Magic of Thinking Big Summary: Lesson 4 Use Big,  Bright,  cheerful and positive words

Our mind doesn’t think in words. It thinks and imagines in pictures, images and in movie form. Hence when we say a particular word our brain imagine it in picture images form, and the pictures you create out of that word will determine how you and others react.

For example, if you say that I failed, your mind will imagine that thing as a failure. if you say that you are going through problems, your mind will take that word and imagine an unpleasant situation, situations which are really difficult and hard to solve.

If you use negative words, then your mind will imagine every negative thing. As you know what you think and say your brain imagine it in a picture images way, and this connection can ruin your entire day.

Hence try to use the affirmation, positive words, such as  I am happy, feeling good, I can handle etc.
