14 Quotes That Teach You The Power of Positive Thinking

Positive Thinking has been vouched for and advocated for, by so many people, that it has started to seem like a cliche. There is a reason why everyone swears by the power and benefits of positive thinking. Even numerous scientific studies have proved its correlation with success.

Today, we will be looking at a few quotes that show how the way you think can do wonders for you. While we are at it, let’s also talk about why these quotes inspire people.  

“You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”

– Stephen King, (Author)

The only thing that stops you from starting a new venture is usually your own mind. When you strip down all the layers of reasons, you have built around not doing it, the naked reality of it is that your mind is not fully ready to take it head-on.

You are scared of failure, of the difficulty of the new project, of the n number of things that might go wrong. Which is why, you have to start believing in yourself because you can, you should, and when you learn to fight the fears, you will.

“The only place where your dreams become impossible is in your own thinking.”

– Robert H Schuller, (Televangelist, Pastor, Author)

If the most difficulty you are facing about something is in your head, then you need to rethink your approach. If something seems impossible before you even begin, then you need to spend less time thinking about it, and more time trying to find out how to actually achieve it.

“Impossible is just an opinion, don’t buy it.”

– Robin Sharma, (Author)

You have to stop thinking that something is impossible because it has a difficult path. Once you make the impossible in your mind possible, half of the battle is won.

“We become what we think about.”

– Earl Nightingale, (Radio Speaker, Author)

This has a semblance to “The Law of Attraction.” Like Rhonda Byrne wrote in her famous book “The Secret,”

“Your thoughts become things.”

“Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause to everything.”

“Every thought of yours is a real thing – a force.”

“You are the one who calls the law of attraction into action, and you do it through your thoughts.”

To become something, to achieve something, you need to truly believe in it. When there is no doubt in your mind about how it belongs to you, you will find out ways to conquer what it is that you truly want.

“Beliefs that are good promote your potential and enhance your unique special qualities.”

– Deborah Day, (Author)

Like I said earlier, to achieve something you need to truly believe in it. I can’t advocate it enough. Everything begins with a belief. A belief that it will succeed, a belief that it can change the world, a belief that you can do something. A belief is all it takes to get the ball rolling. Trust yourself and your abilities, the rest will follow.

“Cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make possible what others think is impossible.”

– Rodolfo Costa, (Author)

Now that you believe in yourself, the next step is to not let pessimism plague your mind. Keep an optimistic approach to the task and its process. Considering alternatives doesn’t mean that you don’t trust yourself enough, it means you are smart enough to have another plan ready before you even have to hit a huge roadblock.

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.”

– Oprah Winfrey, (Talk show host, Philanthropist, Author)

“An attitude of positive expectation is the mark of the superior personality.”

– Brian Tracy, (Author, Speaker)

“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.”

– Dalai Lama, (Monk, Spiritual Leader)

When you go about achieving something, the important thing is to carry a positive attitude throughout. You cannot begin with a positive thought process and then go back to your old ways. The change needs to come from within, and stay substantial throughout.

Your attitude not only dictates your work, but it also dictates the sort of days you have. You must have heard why you need to start your day with gratitude, it is because it helps you start the day on a positive note.

When you surround yourself with positive people, positive energy, and a positive mind; it becomes difficult for obstacles to dim your resolve.

“When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.”

– Shannon L. Alder, (Author)

You might get tired of listening to how important it is to steer your mind towards positivity, but once you experience its power for yourself, you will realize that these successful people knew what they were talking about.
