Have you ever heard of The Secret? The Secret is a best-selling “self-help” book, written by Rhonda Byrne, who spiffs up the theory that, in short form, “you think it, you do it, and it will happen’ – The Law of Attraction, if you will.
In all essence, the Law of Attraction is the mothership to positive thinking. If you exert enough positivity and belief in yourself, you can and will accomplish anything. And with such forces like the law of attraction, it will work its “magic”. As much as I like saying the word, magic, it’s not what gets you from point A to B.
Stir in a positive work ethic, put in the productivity, add in persistence and you’re well on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
As James Clear mentions in his article titled, “The Science of Positive Thinking: How Positive Thoughts Build Your Skills, Boost Your Health, and Improve Your Work”:
“Research is beginning to reveal that positive thinking is about much more than just being happy or displaying an upbeat attitude. Positive thoughts can actually create real value in your life and help you build skills that last much longer than a smile.”
Agreeing with James, having a positive outlook helped develop my skillset substantially. Communication and creativity were two of many skills I improved on by being positive. The Broaden & Build Theory, founded by Barbara L Fredrickson describes that:
“A key proposition is that these positive emotions broaden an individual’s momentary thought-action repertoire: joy sparks the urge to play, interest sparks the urge to explore, contentment sparks the urge to savor and integrate, and love sparks a recurring cycle of each of these urges within safe, close relationships.”
That being said, you not only broaden your skills but open doors to endless possibilities.
To conclude all of this: be positive, embrace challenges, believe in yourself and good things will happen.
