Dare Positive Thoughts

“Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right.” Zig Ziglar

Too often we do not do things because we only dwell on the things that might go wrong.  Imagine what we would do if instead we spent all of our energy and focus on what could go right.  If we replace our negative thought habits with positive ones, our ability to explore and succeed in life will be much greater. 

Recently I’ve been contemplating what I consider to be a significant risk in my life.  Though I have felt I should move forward and take the risk, I spend my time contemplating what can potentially go wrong.  After dwelling on this long enough, I find myself postponing my choice to move forward and decide to wait for another day.  Though the stakes are pretty high, if I instead would think about what could go right, there is no question I would move forward with this calculated and intelligent risk.

This scenario is not uncommon in my life and I’m sure it may not be in yours as well.  If we can shift our paradigms and see potential more than trouble, we will be able to do things we never dared we would.

So, see the possibilities in our lives and believe in them!  We can’t let negative thoughts hold us back any more than we allow positive thoughts to push us forward.  We must not be afraid, but only believe.
