Is there power in positive thinking?

         Yes, I believe there is power in positive thinking! Nothing constructive can be accomplished in life without the assistance of positive thoughts.  The world we live in would be dark without happy thoughts.  People, in general, would not be able to set achievable goals without a firm belief that they are indeed capable of pursuing higher educational and economic security or, for that matter, life-long companionship.  Through positive thinking, we obtain better control of ourselves and the lives we wish to secure.

          We need positive thinking in our lives in order to further progress in our educational studies and careers goals. Thinking negatively only prevents us from moving on to bigger and better things in life.  The great doctors, lawyers, teachers or computer experts we have today would not have been able to reach their professional goals if they permitted negative thoughts to override their desire to succeed.  Without positive thinking the world as we know it would be dull, dark and very depressing.  Total chaos would break out if no one cared about the damage and destruction to people’s lives and property that can ensue by thinking unhappy thoughts all the time.

          No one could find romance in their lives without positive thinking. The woman or man of our dreams would never materialize without first thinking about the qualities we unconsciously seek. There would be very few babies being born because no one would want to create a family.  Our very existence would probably cease to exist, and civilization would come to a standstill. There is a song by John Lennon entitled “Imagine all the people.” Well that song would probably be sung differently if there was no such thing as positive thinking.  Imagine a world without people living in it!  That is what would happen if we thought negatively all the time.

          In summary, our lives solely depend on positive thinking. There is great power in positive thinking.  We need positive thinking in order to pursue our goals in education and the career paths we want to master in the future.  In essence, mankind would be a lost cause and ultimately couldn't exist in a world without the contemplation of a happy thought.
