A glance in any book shop today is bound to reveal a ton of autobiographies. Successful people explaining how they made it in life. From glamour models to empire builders, they all have a different story to tell. But each has a common thread - they overcame adversity by focusing on the positives. This is the only way to achieve anything we're aiming for. We have to consume ourselves with positive beliefs, and not allow negative a foot-hold!
So if you're dieting, develop a positive approach to losing the pounds. Tell yourself how good you are at healthy eating. Thinking positively opens up a wealth of solutions to any problem. A pessimistic approach though does the opposite.
We all have an automatic 'device' in our brains, known as our reticular activation system. This system is responsible for everything we focus on. Over our lives, we've experienced a huge number of things that no longer remain in our conscious thoughts - the bulk of what we've learned moves from our conscious mind to our sub-conscious mind, a kind of store cupboard stocked up with all our past knowledge and beliefs.
Then, when we have a need to refer to something, our automatic RAS (reticular activation system) goes through our sub conscious to check if we're holding anything relevant. So when we're strolling down a road, things that have meaning to us come to our attention, but everything else doesn't.
This means that if we've been regularly sending messages that are positive to our sub-conscious mind, then that's what it will transfer back. However, we can only expect unhelpful, depressing thoughts to be returned if that's what was originally sown.
We have an element of control over this. Successful people have generally worked on their attitude and restricted the amount of negative being stored. And so the reticular activation system emerges as a brilliant mechanism for fulfilling our dreams. The sub conscious has no way of knowing whether information sent to it is imaginary or not.
In other words, as it believes what it's told, we need to create a very specific picture of our goal in our conscious mind. The RAS will then pass this on to our sub-conscious - which will then help us achieve the goal. It does this by bringing to our attention all the relevant information which otherwise might have remained as 'background noise'.
Napoleon Hill once wrote that we can attain any reasonable goal if we keep it clearly in our mind. That's as long as we don't allow any negative thoughts about it. Of course, if we keep thinking that we can't achieve a goal, our subconscious will help us not to achieve it.
