The power of positive thinking

[peatff]

Funny how the brain has decided the brain is the most important part of you!

 

It tells all the other bits what to do doesn't it ?

Are you sure it's the brain that does that?

I'll be honest and admit I never expected to be successful at this game for one minute. I was lucky to have a business background and pretty handy at fixing things. But most of all I think whats makes things happen is determination. Oh and being nice to customers...they like nice normal people.

[Stefan Palokangas]

Positive thinking is the key the secret if you so wish, and the mud crawlers in this thread that felt the need to dip in the misfortunes they feel to this they know it to.

 

It's a no brainer, as always when humanity got two options there will be two opinions, one is true the other is false.

[Billhook]

Err, a coupe of things spring to mind.. weeping at a broken down truck and seein it as a challenge to be met, mine broke down this morning, believe me, I had no tears for it, just rage...

Then there the Titanium thing, comparing it to positive thoughts, who does that?...

 

And not least, I've provided an explanation of how people become successful and why, and still he and others are too dense to understand it...

 

Basically, you are what you are, don't imagine anything you do will change that... people can spout rubbish about positive thinking all they want..

 

Truth is when you're on a good run you tend towards being positive, when things go wrong you tend to being miserable... don't imagine its being positive that gets you the good run, that comes the other way round...

 

Its called confirmation bias..... seein what they want to see... they think because they were happy when things went well, all they have to do is be happy/positive and things will get better... Nope it don't work like that..

 

 

Exhaustion, try spending a day pretending to be optimistic happy positive, I dare say your'll be so exhausted you'll need a day to get over it...

 

 

 

Thanks Mick.... nice to have a bit of support here an there

 

I agree with this particular angle on positive thinking. You cannot change things when you are up to your nuts in it by just singing "It's a Hap Hap Happy Day didleoodledidlodlelyA!"

 

But it is surprising how many people just go off to work and have no real dream of how they want to end up in the future.

It is important to take time to visualize perhaps an arb business of your own, a house on the hill with a forest and land, loving family. What ever it is just hold it in the front of your mind and then let it go and drift into the back of your mind.

I am convinced that there is a process which we have lost over time but which our ancestors were fully aware, as are several peoples which we call primitive living today. Bushmen Aborigines, native Indians.

When these people were looking for water or herds of animals they would gather and maybe with a little help from a bit of weed, visualize their quarry.

Maybe make a few cave paintings to help.

When they go off to search they were very much aware of little signs to steer them. Today we may see these as little coincidences, just bumping into an old workmate in the middle of an unfamiliar town.

When I was younger I would just say Hi and what a coincidence meeting you here and leave it at that, but now I might ask if they have time for a coffee and sit down with them to find out what it was all about, not by a direct question but just seeing where the conversation led.

This is an example of being positive but to many of you it will seem trite and uncomfortable.

There is of course I think a limit to your dreams but I have an arbtalk experiment for you all which is not at all embarrassing and may prove to be useful.

It is the lightest example of positive thinking and demonstrates that it works.

 

The next time you are about to go into a familiar busy town and perhaps want to stop at the bank or a particular shop, visualize that parking space as strongly as you can. Have a lot of faith and put it to the back of your mind..

Continue your journey into town and keep the faith of that particular spot even if the place is busy.This is the difficult stage as it is very tempting to lose faith and head for the main pay car park but keep the faith!

 

Try it a few times and you can decide whether Billhook is talking Billhooks.

For those of you who discover it to be true, you can then gradually ramp up your dreams to create the reality.

Do not ask me how it works but it does.

Inspiring reading, I recognise myself in it.

 

The dream of house with a lot of land to it is about to be real where indeed something very good and special is about to happen.

Brick by brick, having a look on a few places this weekend.

 

The ideas have no limits, the arb market booming, good thoughts, realistic pricing, on time always, realising what doors to close and what doors to open.

 

I jumped in to this market with joy, didn't have my pricing set to a realistic level, did the homework times 100, study what Leeds to success, followed it, and by god it's good.

 

I noticed a common mindset in the arb business, and it was the feel of no profit, the idea that seems to have spread out in all four corners of work hard with little money.

 

This ideas is false.

 

The arb trade got good teeth and fantastic skills.

 

I'm about to expand, need to get the app for this for my phone, there will be no more time to waste in front of an iPad anymore.

 

Good luck out there guys

Really happy for you mate, you have a really great attitude. Best of luck growing and growing your business.

I was brought up in another county about sixty miles away and although we owned an derelict windmill here we never thought that we were going to live up here. But events changed and we moved up in 1970. I lived with my parents for a bit until it was too much to bear but had nowhere to go locally.

The only chance was to convert the old windmill but since this was an AONB and outside a designated area for planning this seemed impossible.

However I managed to convince the council that I had a good plan and built it up brick by brick. I bought an old barn with 40,000 16th century 2" bricks and by the time I had cleaned them, stacked them, hodded them and laid them I must have handled each half a dozen times.

 

My cousin shook me the other day when she came to visit. We were brought up alongside each other nearly as brother and sister. After a glass of wine she said "Well you always said you wanted to make a house of the mill ever since you were a little boy"

I could not recall ever saying that, but it must have been at the back of my mind for all those years.......

Amazing and inspiring, thanks for taking your time and sharing your experience, really brightened me up.

I've just been to Tesco's Billhook.

I knew it would be mad busy, so all the way there I visualised my parking space.

When I got there, it was there, right in front of me!

I zoomed straight in.

Unfortunately, I hadn't realised that a Range Rover was already parked in it.

Can you PM me your address so I can send you the bill?

Ta.
