As you probably know, I have two signature programs, Zero Effort Selling (Unconscious Persuasion and Influence) and Mind Awakening (Human Effectiveness). I’ll rotate my blog postings between these two cutting-edge programs.
I want you to really consider what it means to be successful and having a positive attitude. And, I want you to now realize that almost all the motivational speakers and peak performance experts have it backwards. As you know, they all talk about the importance of a positive mental attitude and being positive.
Where almost all of them miss the boat is that they start at the wrong end of the Human Equation. You DO NOT need to become more positive to be happy in life.
What must happen is that you must become less negative. Think about this. You already know how to be positive…you were born positive. Ever seen a “negative” baby? Nope, because you were born “positive,” and you are inherently a positive being who has learned negativity through culturalization.
To be happy, forget your focus on being happy – as all the motivational speakers have led you to believe.
Have the courage to look into the mirror – for real. Identify the negativity in you that your carry – greed, jealousy, anger, self-pity, selfishness, judgment, etc. Look at all the stuff you have locked away – commit to eliminating it.
Until you do, you can be “positive” all day long and you’ll still have these negative ankle weights pulling you down.
Remove that head garbage, and you’ll automatically become more positive by becoming less negative. Remember, you were born positive and it’s your natural state, it’s not something you have to try to be, you already are.
Your success is not about adding things in life, it’s about taking negative things away within yourself. The more you take away, the lighter you’ll become.
