Using Think Positive Power To Change Your Life (Part Two)

You may want to make a positive change in your life for many reasons. Maybe you’ve reached a stage in your life where you need a new direction. Perhaps a marriage breakup has made you reconsider what you really want in life. Or maybe you just feel as though life is passing you by….

Perhaps you have a business which seems to have lost direction – maybe you are looking to become a more effective leader or manager in order to increase productivity. That might entail changing how you deal with people by improving your motivation and communication skills.

For a great many people making a positive change might mean a new career, lifestyle or relationship. In a great many cases it will probably mean using think positive power to re-build self-confidence and self-esteem or maybe you want to learn to change your behavior, for example to be less aggressive.

Positive change starts from the inside and works outwards. Steven Covey, in his critically acclaimed book, ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’, stresses the concept of changing the inside first: “The inside-out approach to change means to start first with self; even more fundamental, to start with the most inside part of self – with your paradigms, your character and your motives.”

As we have seen previously, your paradigms, your character and your motives all derive from your subconscious, so, if positive change is to happen and if it is to last, you need to acknowledge that you must take a look at who you are now and who you want to be in the future.

You have to be honest with yourself and recognize reality as it actually exists and not as you think it should be. This is often a difficult step for many people. You need to develop a high level of awareness and clarity about everything that you do as all too often, it’s your subconscious running the show and not you.

Most importantly, you need to accept full responsibility for your life and where you are right now and not seek to place the blame elsewhere. That will also involve giving up the need to control things… except of course, yourself. This is a vital step, and unless you are prepared to do this, positive change will not occur for you, at least not enduring positive change.
