PositiveThinkingBookstore

Don't believe everything you hear when your mind talks to you. Your mind is always in replay mode, and much of what it says is frankly wrong and does not reflect your potential for greatness and a positive life. You don't need a brain transplant to get a new way of thinking and feeling. It's much cheaper and more effective to read Dr. Dave's eBooks and fill your mind with positive things.

Doubt My Limits

Team Maxing Out believes the envelope of possibility is infinitely large, and the likelihood of encountering absolute limits is infinitesimally small. There are no limits, only limiting beliefs. Possibility is a dynamic thing that changes with our beliefs. We have a Rule of Doubt that we apply to all areas of our lives. If we are going to doubt anything, we will doubt our limits. Amazing things happen when we doubt our limits. That must be why Jesus said, "All things are possible to him who believes."


The Positive Channel

The best place to get your daily dose of positive thinking is The Positive Channel. Positive thoughts are just a click away. This is your opportunity to change the way you think and feel about who you are and what you can do with your life. If you want to change your life, you must first change the way you think. When you change the things you think about, the way you think about things changes. When you change the things you talk about, the way you talk about things changes. Your new life starts today when you start putting positive things into your mind.

Positive Zine

The Law of Positive Passion states, "Where there is passion there is power." Passionate people do extraordinary things. Passion points them in the the direction of their dreams and gives them the power to make the trip. Passionate people don't believe in impossible. Impossible is for other people, not for them. Impossible is a challenge - a dare to make things happen that other people believe cannot be done. It's time to light the fire of passion in your heart and to show the world why you are here!

Dr. Dave Says

The Wheel Of Change

The Wheel Of Change always turns in the direction of what you put into your mind. Take a lesson from Dr. Dave as he drives off-road in the Sonoran Desert of the American Southwest. It's time to turn the Wheel of Change in a new direction in your own life.


Dr. Dave Says

At the end of each decade of your life, you should sit down and write a short essay entitled "What I Have Learned So Far." Each decade is different, and the lessons you learn are different as well. It's almost as if you get a new life during each decade. Your beliefs change about who you are and what you can do, and you actually become a different person.


Daktari Without Borders

I am a daktari without borders. I am not sure when and where borders disappeared from my mind, but sometime in the last quarter century, I became a citizen of the world. Wherever I am on planet earth, I feel at home in my borderless world. Sometimes I get the feeling that borders are fictional boundaries created by the rich and powerful to maintain their power and wealth.


Feel The Freedom

When I was ten years old, my parents gave me a tiny transistorized short wave radio that fit in the palms of my hands. At night I laid in bed and listened to broadcasts from around the world, and I imagined myself in hundreds of different destinations on planet earth. I didn't know how I would ever get there, but one day I would visit all of those places. Much later in life I discovered that I was addicted to freedom, and I became a citizen of the world, and the world is my home.


Daktari Dave

The first time I went to Africa, people told me that I would experience culture shock, and that it would be hard to adjust to the compromises required living in another culture halfway around the world. For the past forty-five years, I have been waiting for culture shock to strike, and so far it has not happened. The only culture shock I experienced happened when I returned to the USA after being away for nearly a quarter of a century.


Never Underestimate The Power Of A Single Idea

Never underestimate the power of a single idea. On more than one occasion, a single idea has shaped my destiny. When I was in grade school, I read Dr. Paul White's book, Doctor of Tanganyika, and I instantly knew that I wanted to work as a doctor in developing countries. That single idea took root in my mind and still remains a compelling force in my life. Because of his influence, I worked overseas in Panama, Liberia, Kenya and Saudi Arabia in my carreer in international medicine.


Doubt Your Limits - Test Your Limits - Exceed Your Limits

You are on a no limits expedition in which there is no limit to how good your life can become. There are no limits to how much good you can accomplish during your stay on planet earth. Life is a test, and if you don't quit, you pass the test. Quitting is a terminal disease for which their is no cure, and doubting is nearly as bad. If you are going to doubt anything at all, you should doubt your limits.


On The Road To Greatness

I am a hard core expatriate who lived outside the United States for twenty-eight years. During all of those years of travel, I became an expert at packing my bags to the hilt. I was allowed two eighty pound bags, and everytime I went overseas, I carried one-hundred and sixty pounds of luggage. Half of that weight was in books. Now things have changed. I carry nearly all my books on my tablets and smart phone. I easily carry ten tons of eBooks on my electronic devices without a problem.


Positive Expectations Are A Way Of Life

I am the Positive Expectations Doctor.  When I get up in the morning, I don't have to think about what I am going to do that day. I have one job and one job only. My job is to change people's expectations about who they are and what they can do with their lives. The easiest thing to do on planet earth is to pass out pills to patients, and the hardest thing to do is change their expectations. Pushing pills without pushing positive expectations is largely wasted effort. Until people change their expectations, all the pills in the world are of limited benefit.


Positive Daktari

A wise man once said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans," and I am inclined to agree. My plan is to get in agreement with God about who I am and what I can do with my life. It's not that I don't have any plans. Rather I have a general direction to my life and my bucket list is half a mile long, but my time is in God's hands, and his plan is better than anything I can imagine. That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it.


Part Of Something Great

I don't know how many years I have left, but in the time that remains, I intend to finish well. I am going to make a difference in the lives of the people I meet. My life will be a part of something great. I am a purveyor of dreams and an encourager, and I will send a message of hope around the world with my websites and books. You have been warned. I will do my best to rock your world.


Handwriting On Wall

When most people say the handwriting is on the wall, they are giving an ominous warning about a future filled with doom and gloom. When I say the handwriting is on the wall, it means exactly the opposite. It indicates that you finally understand what it takes to make your dreams come true. If you are waiting for a sign, this is it.


Positive Bucket List

Although I have lots of things that I would like to see and do, my bucklet list does not contain any of those items. My list consists of great ideas that I want to make a part of my life. When that happens, my life will truly be my message. Until then, I have work to do.


Positive Optimist

I am a Positive Optimist, and that's why I am an unstoppable, consistently positive, endlessly persistent, doer of dreams. If it were not for positive optimism, I never would have sailed around the world on my thirty-nine foot catamaran, Exit Only.


Positive Note To Self

I have been making positive notes to myself for my entire adult life. My positive notes have taken me around the world on a sailboat, and God willing, they will take me around the world in my Land Rover. It's time for you to get out your file cards and create some Positive Notes to Self and go over them multiple times each day. It won't be long before those notes become a part of your life, and you will never be the same.


Everything Is A Miracle

In this great adventure called life, you have a choice. You can choose to live in your digital world with a 55-inch wide screen existence and cheer others on who are living their dreams, or you can have a real life. You can totally immerse yourself in the natural world and experience the truly miraculous. That natural world is free, and you can touch it, breathe it, embrace it, and love it. And if you do immerse yourself in it, you will discover that everything is a miracle.


That's Affirmative

Sometimes a simple yes or no is not good enough. You want to make sure the message is clearly understood. In times like that you say, "That's affirmative, or that's negative." Such was the case when we sailed our catamaran into Israel after sailing up the Red Sea and navigating the Suez Canal. We needed to be understood the first time.


Life Long Disoriented

Life Long Disoriented

The Life Long Disoriented don't know who they are or where they are going. They live by default rather than by design, and they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true. When things don't work out, they always have an excuse, and it's never their fault. They are unable to maintain a sustained focus for the long haul. They are talkers rather than doers. They never commit themselves to anything with all their heart, mind, and strength.


Win The Battle Against Depression

Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

LEARN HOW TO STOP DOING DEPRESSION AND HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR A POSITIVE MIND. The challenge you face in depression is to change the way you think. If you want to change the way you think and feel, you are going to have to change your inner dialogue. You are going to have to talk to your mind in a different manner. The battle for a positive mind is fought on the battlefield of focus. In order to break the back of depression, you will have to learn how to persistently and consistently control your mental focus. Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble. SEND DEPRESSION PACKING TODAY.

Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking - David J. Abbott M.D.

Eradicate Depression

It's time to eradicate depression from your mind. It's not going to be easy, but it is possible. Every day you must decide to not be depressed and take actions that move your life in a positive direction. The first step in winning the battle against depression is believing there is hope. The second step is learning to control your mental focus. The war for a positive mind is fought on the battlefield of focus. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind.


Fight Depression And Anxiety

The fog of depression and anxiety is like the fog of war. It's hard to see where you are going, and even if you could see, you might not know which way to head to escape. In those hard times, it's all to easy to get disoriented and to strap yourself into the electric chair of depression.


How To Conquer Depression

The journey out of the Land of Depression is like an uphill climb that never seems to end. You just keep moving forward and climbing upward hoping that soon you will come out at the top. Driving out of the Land of Depression can be like going up the Moqi Dugway. You have to remember that if you keep on keeping on and make good choices, you will eventually make it to the top. Just because it is a long upward climb does not mean it is impossible. You have to keep moving forward and not surrender to fear and despair, and eventually you will conquer your depression.


How To Defeat Depression

What you put into your mind is critical. You cannot fill your mind with toxic waste and expect that you will somehow magically become a positive person. Putting water in a gas tank will not turn the water into gasoline. Putting toxic waste into your mind will not turn the toxic waste into positive thoughts. If you put garbage in, you get garbage out. If you put good stuff in, you get good stuff out.


How To Eliminate Depression

Do you choose depression or does depression choose you? I have never met a person who chose to be depressed. The general feeling out there is that depression just happens. I strongly disagree with that statement. Although people don't consciously choose to become depressed, they do make choices that pave the royal road to depression. The choices you make about what you put into your mind, the chemicals you use, the things you watch in the media, the conversations you have, and what you say to yourself all have a massive impact on whether you have a positive or negative mind.


Strong Arm Your Mind

There’s a lot of push and shove going on in your mind, and you’re the one who’s getting pushed around. Too often, your inner voice beats you up and forces you into a corner. And after it knocks you down, it doesn’t stop the assault. It just keeps pummeling you with more negative and depressing thoughts. If you are going to break the back of negative thinking, you must do some pushing and shoving of your own. You will have to pump some mental iron and deliver a knock out punch to all the negative thoughts that have been giving you such a hard time. You are going to have to strong arm your mind.


Quitting Depression

I am a never quit sort of a person. Never quit is my mantra and my modus operandi. But when it comes to depression, you need to be an excellent quitter. You need to become an expert at how to send depression packing. If I was passing out blue ribbons to people who have won the battle for a positive mind and who no longer suffer with depression, the ribbon would say, "I am a quitter". This badge of honor would be reserved for people who stop doing depression. Anyone quitting depression has accomplished something major, and they deserve our respect, recognition, and admiration.


Psychological Blindness

People who are psychologically blind don't control what they put into their mind. They don't understand that what they put inside will come back to haunt them. Everything they put in their mind is important because it changes who they are. When they change the things they look at, the way they look at things changes.


PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Wounded Warrior PTSD

The war for a positive mind is fought on the battlefield of focus. Until you learn how to control your mental focus, you cannot win the battle for a positive mind. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind.


Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Recovery

The Law of Positive Change states, "When you change the things you look at, the way you look at things changes. When you change the things you talk about, the way you talk about things changes. When you change the things you think about, the way you think about things changes."

Surviving The Storm Of Thoughts Blowing Through Your Mind

Mark Twain once remarked that life doesn’t consist so much of facts and events. Instead, it consists mainly of the storm of thoughts blowing endlessly through my mind. Most of the time, I can deal with the facts of life without too much difficulty. It’s the storm of thoughts that causes such a problem. I will die a thousand deaths before my final day of reckoning comes. Most of my problems never happen anywhere except in my mind.


Be Careful What You Say

Birds are the only animals that can talk without the words changing their lives. Birds can say anything they want, even four letter words, without the slightest damage to their mind. The reason is simple. Bird's don't know what they are saying. Millions of people talk like they are parrots. They swear like salors and lace their speech with profanity. These folks would be better off if they were parrots, because at least their destructive words would not get into their mind.


Positive Spirituality - You Are Never More Like God Than When You Are Loving Other People

When your heart is full of emotions consistent with God's love, your emotions are healthy, and they are exactly the way God means for them to be. Real Power: Maxing Out on God's Love is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble. REAL POWER IS AVAILABLE TODAY WHEN YOU MAX OUT ON GOD'S LOVE.

Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love - David J. Abbott M.D.

God Loves U

God is love and works by love, and by nothing else than love. The power and presence of God in my life is love. Every time I see love, I see God's hand at work. Every time I feel love, I experience God's presence and power. God loves and accepts me the way I am, but He loves me too much to let me stay that way. God loves me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and it doesn't get any better than that. There is no limit to how good my life can become when I open my heart and mind to the power of His love.


The Hammer Of God Is Love

God doesn't make bad things happen to good people. God is shaping you and making you into all you can be using his hammer of love. God is good, and He is good all the time. When He strikes with his hammer of love, good things always happen. If bad things are occurring in your life, it is not God who is making them happen. God's hammer of love always transforms bad things into something good.


Get A New Way Of Thinking

In Matthew 16:23 Jesus said, “You are a stumbling block to me. You think as men think, not as God thinks. Jesus said that when we think like men, we stumble. How we think and what we think is important. Wrong thinking trips us up. We need a new way of thinking; we need to think as God thinks. When we start thinking the way that God thinks, our expectations radically change. The impossible becomes possible. Lack becomes abundance. Negative becomes positive. Captives are set free. The oppressed experience liberation. God's favor becomes a daily experience.


Positive Christian Secret

If you want to walk on water, you must do three things. First, you must get out of the boat. Second, you must ignore the wind and seas. Third, you must ask for help if you start sinking. Everything I know about walking on water, I learned from Peter and Jesus. Peter did an outstanding job of teaching me how not to walk on water, and Jesus taught me to trust in God. He reminded me that it's never over until God says it's over. Learn how to not walk on water!


Powerful Positive Expectations

When I started my eleven year sailing voyage around the world, I had powerful positive expectations. Without positive expectations, I would never have survived storms at sea, I would not have sailed across the Indian Ocean through massive tsunami debris, and I would have never sailed up Pirate Alley between Yemen and Somalia. Without positive expectations, I would have spent my life in Nowhere Land.


Positive Spiritual Power

The most powerful force in the universe is God's love, and when your heart is full of his love, it's full of God's presence and power. Positive Spiritual Power is not about you. It's about the power of love working through you to make a difference in the world. Spiritual power is not something that you possess; it's something you experience. If you want to have positive spiritual power, you simply become God's love in the world.


God's Ocean Of Love

I am a swimming instructor, and I give swimming lessons in God's ocean of love. When you love people, they instantly recognize it. No explanation required. Jesus said you could recognize his disciples by their love. It's the hallmark that identifies them as children of God. It's their way of life. I can think of no higher calling than being a swimming instructor in God's ocean of love.


Law Of Expectations

Jesus created a world ruled by expectations. You don't get what you want. You get what you expect. It doesn't matter if your expectations are positive or negative, you will still get what you expect. Jesus said, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you. No matter how hard you work and how much you hope, it's what you expect that counts. The Law of Expectations will make or break your life. When I know your expectations, I can predict your future.


Christian Self-Talk

God has given you all the tools you need to have a positive mind. God gave you the power of positive self-talk to fill your mind with positive things. If you consistently and persistently repeat positive thoughts, it is inevitable that your mind will start repeating those same positive thoughts back to you.


I Am Who God Says I Am

The power of positive self-talk is immense. Take a lesson from God, and use positive self-talk to create a positive world. Tell yourself, "I am who God says I am, and I am who I say that I am." Get in agreement with God about who you are and what you can do with your life, and it won't be long before miracles start to happen. Christian positive self-talk will change your world.


Positive Christian Self-Talk

Positive Christian self-talk is more than positive thinking. It is positive preparation that makes miracles possible. It gets you to a place where miracles can occur. It helps you get in agreement with God about who you are and what you can do in your life. It's not a mindless mantra that you endlessly repeat hoping that things will get better. Positive Christian self-talk puts both feet on the ground and takes you to a miraculous destination.


Let The Weak Say I Am Strong

Positive self-talk is not the invention of man. It's the invention of God, and it was given as a gift to mankind so that we could speak our new lives into existence. The Bible has lots of examples of positive self-talk being used to make good things happen in the hearts and minds of those who love and serve God. In the book of Joel in the Old Testament, the Bible encourages us to use positive self-talk. Joel 3:10 says, Let the weak say, "I am strong." It's very clear that self-talk is not about where you are at the present moment. It's about where you are going with God's help. Amazing things happen when people get in agreement with God about who they are and what they can do with their life.


Everything Possible Nothing Impossible

Faith isn’t something that must be present before you move in the direction of your dreams. Rather it’s something that develops after you start moving. When you start out, you don’t see how your dreams are possible. Nevertheless, the moment you take the first step, faith instantly comes into your life. Never look at faith as the path to a life of leisure. God gave you faith so you could see things other people can’t see and do things other people can’t do.


Positive Christian Power

Positive Christian Power is only about one thing - the power of God's love working in your life making you into a new and loving person. It has nothing to do with politics or world domination. It is the heart and soul of what it means to be Christian. Love is the hallmark of following Christ, and without love you are nothing.


Power Of Positive Faith

You already have enough faith to set sail on the ocean of your dreams. You don't need to see far into the distance. You only need to see far enough to take the next step. It doesn't matter what your dream is, today is the best day to work on your dreams. Conditions will never be more perfect than they are today. If you are still breathing, and if you have a dream, then now is the time to set sail.


Positive Scriptures

The universe reveals the mind of God, and the Bible reveals his heart of love.The entire universe is an expression of God's creative power. We serve an awesome God who thinks and speaks worlds into existence. Our planet is only a tiny speck in our solar system, which is a tiny speck in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is a tiny speck on the edge of an expanding universe. We ask ourselves, "Who is man that God would think of him?" We act as if we are an afterthought of God. But we have it backwards. We are not an afterthought of God. We are the reason the universe exists.


Flying LIke An Eagle

God gave me the heart and wings of an eagle. When I see an eagle in flight, I see my life as it is meant to be. I will not allow myself to be grounded by negativity and limitation. I will mount up on wings and fly like an eagle. I will run and not be weary. I will walk and will not faint. There is no limit to how good my life can become when I spread my wings and soar on the updrafts of God’s love.


Prosperity Attitude

God’s dream for your life is better than anything you can imagine. God’s plan for your life is full of open doors that only you can close. God not only has a plan, He has backup plans just in case you have problems along the way. Your mistakes are not a surprise to God, and He has more contingency plans than you have faults and failures.


Increase Faith

Faith isn't something we do. It's something that God does to us when we suspend our disbelief , get out of the way, and stop limiting God. We don't have to have faith. Instead, faith has to have us.


Positive Faith Not Fear

Faith naturally flows into your heart when you trust God. Faith is a product of trust, and fear is a product of distrust. When you trust God to take you through the storms of life, faith naturally wells up in your heart. You don't need to muster your faith. It's not something you do. It's something God does to you when place your trust in Him.


Positive Flowers

Take a lesson from positive flowers that ignore the thorns of life, and they bloom where they are planted. Life is not about thorns. Life is about blooming. Your job is to take whatever happens and make it into something beautiful. Everything that God touches turns to beauty, and when God touches your life, it will become a beautiful thing.


Looking At The World Through Eyes Of Praise

One of the most important decisions you will ever make is the set of your mind. If you get it right, you have an awesome life. If your mind set is wrong, your destiny is failure, frustration, and self-destruction. You must have the right attitude, and it must be positive. There is no other way to reach your potential and to live God's dream for your life.


Positive Moral Universe

World renown psychiatrist Karl Menninger M.D. wrote a book entitled, "Whatever became of sin?" Dr. Menninger points out that mental health and moral health go hand in hand. It's impossible to have mental health without moral health. The moral universe is not neutral. It takes a position on the choices we make. The moral universe grinds slow, but it grinds sure. Sin is a real problem and must be dealt with to maintain optimum mental and spiritual health.


Positive Optimism

Apostle Paul wrote, "All things work together for good for those who love God." This scripture makes it clear that the spiritual universe favors those who love and serve God. God is in it with you for the long haul, and He has a powerful postive plan for your life that is better than anything you can imagine. When you love God and get in agreement with his purpose and plan, amazing things happen. God takes all your choices, mistakes and failures and turns them into something good.


Positive Self Help

Positive Youniversity

Get your tenacity in gear at Positive Youniversity. Discover who you are and what you can do when you unleash the positive power that resides within. It's time for your seeds of greatness to spring to life and for you to become all that you can be.


You Are A Work In Progress

Don't be quick to judge yourself in a harsh manner; you also are a work in progress. Your caterpillar stage might not seem like fun, but God knows what He is doing. You have to be a caterpillar before you can become a butterfly; there is no other way. God is working behind the scenes, taking care of the details, and things are going to work out.


The Curves Of Life

You only get one life, so you better get it right the first time. If you understand the CURVES OF LIFE, you have a better chance of getting it right the first time. There are actually three curves. The first is called the gusto curve, the second is the money curve, and the third is the time curve. Here's how they work. Your gusto curve and time curve start at the top and eventually go down to zero. Your money curve starts at zero and exponentially climbs throughout your life. When the curves of life cross, an alarm should go off in your mind, because from that point on, time becomes more valuable than money. You are sliding rapidly down the gusto curve, and you are running out of time.


God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

Self-help is not the creation of man. It's the creation of God and it's built into the fabric of the moral universe. There is no mystery here. If you do your part, God will do his part, and amazing things will happen. But first you must do your part so that God has something to work with. When you work like everything depends on you and trust like everything depends on God, you have discovered the secret of self-help.


Quantum Self Help

The moral universe has laws just like the physical universe. In the moral universe, quantum change is incremental. Even small changes are incremental. Change may appear to be gradual, but when you look closely, there is a shift in a person’s beliefs that permit them to jump to the next level. Nothing happens gradually in the moral universe. While your beliefs may change gradually, the instant you adopt a new belief and act on that belief, your life is never the same. You become a new person with a new life. You make a quantum leap to a new level.


Living Your Dreams Is An Act of Defiance

Welcome to positive self-help photos from Dr. Dave. Each picture has special meaning, and you can probably guess the meaning without knowing the back stories. When I want to get pumped up and need a little inspiration, this is where I come to recharge my batteries. Living dreams is not easy, and you need all the help you can get. Living your dreams is an act of defiance in a world that demands conformity.


Self Help Scriptures

The greatest challenge we will ever face is unbelief. God has a dream for our life that is better than we can imagine, and the only way we can make that dream come true is through the power of belief. We must get into agreement with God about who we are and what we can do with our lives. The only way to get in agreement with God is to discover the way that He thinks. Only in scriptures can we discover the heart and mind of God. It's there that we learn to think the way that God thinks.


You Are Different By Design

God wanted us to all be different, and He built uniqueness into our chromosomes. We have twenty-four thousand genes that give us twenty-four thousand reasons why we are special. There is nobody on planet earth that is just like you. Even identical twins are different because of the miracle of Epigenetics. So instead of trying to be like other people, you should make it your job to find out what it means to be you. After all, that is God's plan for your life.


Twenty Positive Things That Can Change Your Life

Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. When you go to a banquet with dozens of delicacies before your eyes, it's hard to decide where to begin. Your plate is too small and the selection too large to make everything fit on your plate. You must choose a few items, and later you can come back for more. The Self Help Workshop would like to place a few positive items on your plate, and if you like what you find, you can always come back for more.


Psychological Survival Skills

Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind. The events of life can be trivial, tragic, and even monumental in nature, but the events themselves have little power. It's the storm of thoughts about those events that causes so much trouble. Self-Help Survival is all about the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind.  It's about you becoming situationally aware of what makes emotional storms happen and taking steps to avoid unnecessary storms.

 


Positive Psychology

Positive Power Focus

The battle for a positive mind is fought on the battlefield of focus. Until you learn to control your mental focus, you will never win the battle for a positive mind. You are engaged in mortal mental combat, and your mind is ground zero. It's high time you learned how to control your mental focus.


Power Seconds

Lightning may not last long, but it's extremely powerful. There is no correlation between its duration and its power. The same is true of positive thoughts. A single positive thought can change your life in a nanosecond. You don't need to think about it for days and weeks on end. An idea whose time has come changes your life in less than a second.


Positive Reframing

Every major adventure in my life has involved positive reframing. Life threatening challenges may have higher stakes, but the reframing is the same. You get to choose the meaning of every event of your life.


Positive Reframes

You have the privilege of deciding the meaning of every event in your life. You can choose a meaning that empowers you, or you can interpret it in a negative fashion so that it becomes a weapon of self-destruction. The frame you place around an event makes all the difference.


Focus Is The Quarterback For Your Mind

How do you create a consistently positive mind? It's actually quite easy. You simply maintain a persistently positive focus! A positive mind is not an accident. It's something you do on purpose. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. It's easy to be positive for a nanosecond, but being positive for days and weeks is hard. That's where persistence comes in. You have to relentlessly keep at it if you want to make it happen.


Positively Positive Thinking

Your brain is a powerful affirming machine that affirms the negative just as easily as the positive, the bad just as easily as the good. Your brain is positive about many things that are factually untrue. And when you are positive about the wrong things, your positive thinking actually gets you into trouble. It turns out that positive thinking is not always positive when you are affirming dark, destructive thoughts.


You Are Not A Prisoner of Your Genome

When Jesus said, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you," he did not add any qualifications to the statement. He didn't say, "As your genome is, so shall it be done unto you." Your beliefs trump your genome every time. You are not a prisoner of your genome. Instead, your genome is the launching pad for your life and nothing more. It's what you do with your genome that counts. Epigenetics gives you the power to take what you have been given and to make it into something great.


Say Goodbye To Fear

Fear Is A Liar

Fear is a liar, and if you listen to the voice of fear, you will never live your dreams. When I was sailing through the Bab Al Mandeb in the southern Red Sea, I had fifty knots of wind on the port quarter, and I was soaked to the skin by breaking seas crashing into the yacht. Although I was wet and cold, there was no fear in my heart. My options were to sail on into the night and get extremely tired and wet, or to find an anchorage in the storm and hold on. Fear was not an option.


Fearing The Wrong Thing

Fear should be a warning rather than a way of life. Unfortunately some people adopt a fear-based existence, and fear becomes a major driving force in their lives. Most people fear the wrong thing. Advertising loves the gospel of fear because it sells. Fearing the unlikely and the absurd is largely a waste of time and energy and misdirects your focus. In most cases, the thing that you fear is not the enemy. It is fear itself that is the real problem.


Don't Listen To The Voice Of Fear

The Fear Doctor is in, and it's time to listen up. Fear and negativity always travel together, and you need to banish them both from your mind. You don't want them sailing with you on the ocean of your dreams. The trip will be more enjoyable and easier if you don't let them on board. More than once during our sailing voyage around the world, our situation was a bit tenuous, but I can't say that I was ever afraid. Instead of listening to the voice of fear, I focused on doing those things that kept us safe, and you should do the same.


Most Of The Things You Fear Will Never Happen

Almost always, fear is a waste of time. Most of the things you fear will never happen, and you fear the wrong things. When the hobglobins of fear start dancing in your mind, it's time to refocus on other things. Fear is all about focus. When you focus on fearful thoughts, they grow stronger. When you focus on powerful positive thoughts, fear heads for the emergency exits. You can never win an argument against fear, but you can flush it out with a positive focus. It's always a mistake to argue with fearful negative thoughts because you only increase their power. Indulging in fearful fantasies is self-destructive and always makes your life worse.


Not Afraid Anymore

Fear comes in many sizes and shapes. The list of things to fear is endless, and if you are not careful, fear can control your life. For most people, their greatest fear is the fear of death. Everyone needs to remember that it's never over until God says it's over.


Positive Smartphones

Positive Smartphone

Smartphones are exceptionally smart, but they have a problem. Smartphones are not positive. Engineers are not interested in positive. They are interested in performance. I want smartphones to be positive, and it's my goal is to put the positive into smart phones around the world. The wheel of change always turns in the direction of what you put into your mind, and your smartphone gives you the power to fill your mind with positive things and to turn your life in a positive direction. For the first time in history, you hold in the palm of your hand everything you need to have a positive mind.


Positive Green World

Positive Green Planet

If trees gave off WiFi signals, our planet would turn into a jungle. Earth would become a green planet once again. Cutting down trees would be against the law, and tree police would throw loggers into prison. Chain saws would regarded as weapons of mass destruction. Unfortunately, trees don't produce Wifi. They only produce the oxygen that we breathe, and our forests are doomed to extinction.


Sacred Life Holy Ground

All life is sacred, and all ground is holy. You came from the dust, and to the dust you will return. You are not only standing on holy ground, you are holy ground as well. When you desecrate the planet, you diminish yourself, and when you violate the sacredness of life, you violate yourself. This is more than about conservation. It's about respecting our planet and ourselves.

Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book

BANISH THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE FROM YOUR MIND. Many people believe change is impossible. Most of the time they are confusing personality with behavior. The basic human personality is relatively constant over time, but behavior can and does change. Personal change happens when people change the way they think. I have numerous patients formerly addicted to meth, cocaine, heroine, and alcohol, who escaped their addictions without ever going to rehab. They simply arrived at a point where they no longer wanted to be prisoners of their addictions. They changed their belief about who they are and what they can do, and they became a different person who was chemical free.
