While visiting your office today, I noticed a jar on General [Manager Jack] Wheeler's desk and it was labeled "positive pills." I appreciate the need for "positive pills." Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, "People who try to think positive have to work much harder at being positive than those who just allow themselves to think negative thoughts."

I always enjoy seeing positive words in print. We need to see more of them. I've learned that the written word is more powerful than the spoken word. We would benefit very much by reading something good before going to sleep at night. By reading before bedtime it may help program our tomorrow. The printed words are more powerful because seeing them makes it indelible in our mind. To me the only thing more powerful would be reading aloud to yourself.

We need to accentuate the positive more because every time we write or say something positive it multiplies. When I have a problem thinking positive, I try to remember to spell it in my mind, P-O-S-I-T-I-V-E; even better would be to spell it out loud and it will permeate the mind.

Dennis Whatley teaches us to practice positive self-talk. Part of my positive self-talk is, "I want to think positive, I want to help others to think positive, and my positive thoughts multiply when I think positive."

It's easy to be negative and we have to work at being positive. Dr. Debra Bright has six "quick charge tips" to change tension into high performance energy. One of them I like is to "erase negative self-talk and replace it with positive self-talk."

I enjoy sharing what I've learned about thinking positive. Every time I share these thoughts and ideas with someone, I gain the most from it. Any time we read something positive, it is double good to read it again.

P.S.: Anyone wanting to talk positive talk may call me at 770-461-1880.
