Has anyone ever told you that if you just think positive, everything will work out?
Most people believe in positive thinking at some point in their life. And you know what else happens to most people? They find out positive thinking is a freakin’ lie.
Do you think I got to be a multimillionaire by just thinking positive thoughts? That I just had faith in being really, really rich?
Do you think I’m happier, healthier, and wealthier than ever before because I believed that the Universe was going to be nice to me?
You know, I used to believe that positive thinking was going to work. I did, I admit it.
You want to know when I stopped thinking that way? It was right around the time my fourth business in a year went under and I was broke as a joke with mouths to feed.
Then, I came up with the concept of power thinking. I call it power thinking because it gives you the power. You’re the one in control. Read on to learn more…
Positive Thinking v. Power Thinking
So what’s the difference between positive thinking and power thinking? Everything!
Positive Thinking is the belief that if you put out good thoughts into the Universe, the Universe will repay you by making “good” things happen. Now, there are a few concepts you have to accept as true if you’re going to believe that:
1. You think events are good or bad.
In order to accept positive thinking, you have to believe that good things can happen.
Now, you might be thinking, “Well duh, Harv. There’s good events and bad events. Bad events are when things like forest fires, or getting laid off happen. Good events are things like getting a new job, or winning the lottery.”
But that’s not really true.
Those “bad” things can actually bring a lot of good. A forest fire can be devastating… but there are millions of species of plants that only germinate in fire. Getting laid off could be the worst day of your life… but it could free you up to focus on that project you know is a million-dollar idea.
And it’s the same for those so-called “good” events. A new job could be great… or it could be a serious step-down. Winning the Powerball could be the most freeing moment of your life… or you could end up bankrupt, like 70% of lottery winners.
Take a moment and think about this: have you ever had a seemingly “bad” thing happen that was actually freakin’ awesome and improved your life, forever? You probably called it “a blessing in disguise.”
Or, on the other side of that, something that seemed like it would be “the best,” was actually a colossal waste of your time—or worse. When something like that happens we say “be careful what you wish for.”
Put simply, good and bad are all about perspective.
2. You think good thoughts make good things happen.
If you haven’t heard about this before, it’s an ancient theory called The Law Of Attraction. And it’s based on pseudo-scientific theories like “sound waves travel through ether,” and “you can burn up brain matter by thinking too much.” And it has a really, really big following. It’s a multi-multi-multi-million dollar business. A LOT of people believe in it. But it’s not quite right.
The Law of Attraction states that “All thoughts turn into things eventually” or, that whatever you put out into the Universe, the Universe returns to you.
And yes, I agree to a certain extent. Whatever effort you put in, that’s the kind of output you’re going to get. If you start a project with a terrible attitude and no forethought, that’s not going to go so great. But your thoughts alone don’t make everything happen!
3. You think you’re not in control.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I like to be in control.
I’m in control of my finances, I’m in control of my business, I’m in control of ME. It makes me feel good.
So why would I give that away? And that’s exactly what you’re doing when you say “the Universe will reward me.” You’re essentially just handing over the keys for your whole life to someone else.
This is where sometimes certain people tell me I just CAN’T be serious. “But Harv! I CAN’T be the one in control! All these things happen when I don’t want them to!” Well, yeah. And we call that life. But what you do NEXT, how you REACT to all those things… THAT is what you control. And THAT is what really matters. True or true?
So now, what’s power thinking?
Power Thinking is the complete opposite of all the positive thinking beliefs up above. It’s the radical belief that you are in control of yourself. That in fact, you are the only thing you control, and the only thing that can control you. So what are the principles of power thinking?
1. Events are not good or bad. Things simply happen.
I explained earlier about how “bad” events can be “good” and “good events can be “bad,” right? That means that events are neutral. All events can be good or bad, depending on how you choose to perceive them.
2. Your thoughts alone don’t make things happen.
Things don’t happen just because we think about them real hard.
Then, what does make things happen? People. People who make decisions and take action every single day. Consistent action creates big and lasting change.
3. You are in control.
Power thinkers take full control of their lives. They live by the process of manifestation: First, they take control of their thoughts which then lead to their feelings which then lead to their actions which lead to their RESULTS.
The tricky part here is that mastering your thoughts can be a very complicated process. If it were easy, everybody would have already done it!
You need the right knowledge, the right support, and a lot of practice to truly master your mind.
