How do YOU achieve SUCCESS...Positive Mental Attitude!

Obsessuccess: The Philosophy of Achievement is different from many of the programs that have been presented to YOU over YOUR lifetime.

Obsessuccess not only shares with YOU how to get what YOU want from this life, but it asks YOU to prepare for what happens after YOUR earthly life is over.

Consider the component of personal achievement known as Positive Mental Attitude.

This trait has been written about and discussed more than any other self-help topic in the history of personal achievement.

If YOU type in “positive mental attitude” in the Amazon Bookstore, you will get over 10,000 results.

Where did these three words come from and why has everyone embraced them?

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and other Greek philosophers wrote about how important a positive mindset was to a productive life. Ancient Far-Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism teach that there is power in positive thinking.

In the modern age, Napoleon Hill wrote about it when he released his “Laws of Success” in 1925.

In 1937 he released his best-selling book, “Think and Grow Rich” and positive thinking became an accepted concept to achieve SUCCESS.

In 1952 a Methodist pastor from New York named Norman Vincent Peale wrote his best-selling book the “Power of Positive Thinking” and took the concept to a whole new level.

Over the past 100 years, we have been taught by most leading “experts” that if we think positively, we will get what we want from life or at the very least life will go our way.

Is this true?

Will having a positive mental attitude lead YOU to SUCCESS?

More importantly, is there really power in positive thinking?

For YOUR consideration, Tony Robbins.

He is 64 years old and has arguably become America’s most renowned self-help author and motivational speaker.

His writings and seminars have impacted millions across the planet.

Listen closely to what he says about the power in positive thinking,

"It's not about positive thinking, because I don't believe in that," he said. "I don't believe you should go to your garden and chant, 'There's no weeds, there's no weeds, there's no weeds,' and think that that's going to solve something. I'm a believer in find the weed and rip it out."

Did you hear what he said?

He doesn’t believe that “it’s about positive thinking.”

So, if the most renowned and in many people’s opinion, the greatest motivator of our generation, makes this type of statement, why has positive thinking and positive mental attitude become the foundation of almost all self-help philosophies?

Obsessuccess: The Philosophy of Achievement provides examples of people from all generations, all races, all social economic situations, all backgrounds and all religions that have achieved success.

When you study these different life stories you will make a very interesting discovery, none of them were concerned with having a positive mental attitude or utilized positive thinking to achieve their desire.

These were men and women that made their decision, and their decision became their obsession.

Being a person that thinks positively is a good thing.

In ancient scripture in the Apostle Paul of Tarsus’s letter to the Phillipians he tells us exactly that, “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

However, every one of you reading this has known or read about people who have achieved tremendous success in life and they never exhibited anything close to a positive mental attitude.

There is little argument that some of these success examples actually exhibited a negative mental attitude throughout their lives.

The Obsessuccess Philosophy is different than most achievement philosophies in many ways, but one key way is that the teaching of Positive Mental Attitude or positive thinking is not a pre-requisite to YOUR SUCCESS and is something that could actually be detrimental to YOU achieving YOUR DECISION.

Remember Obsessuccess is all about YOU and YOU achieving YOUR SUCCESS!

No one else, just YOU and YOU alone.

YOU are the most important person in the world.

For YOUR consideration, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale’s best-selling book from 1952 “The Power of Positive Thinking.”

This bestselling book took positive thinking to a whole new level.

Dr. Peale’s original title to his book was going to be The Power of Faith, but after his editor at Prentice Hall received a copy of the manuscript and read it, he told Dr. Peale that he didn’t like that title.

He went on to share with Dr. Peale that within the manuscript there was a much better title.

Dr. Peale asked him what the better title was and the editor at Prentice Hall said, “It is The Power of Positive Thinking,” because you use that phrase over and over again throughout the book.”

So together they decided to use that title and the rest is history.

The book “The Power of Positive Thinking” has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Now let’s take a moment and examine the title of the book and the words “power of positive thinking.”

In truth, Dr. Peale wrote his best-selling book with no concept of a power in thinking positively.

It was his editor that realized the “better” title, one that is much more appealing to the public and one that would help sell more books for Prentice Hall.

When you read the book, you discover that the power Peale writes about does not come from positive thinking, but the power comes from faith, which is why Dr. Peale originally wanted to title the book The Power of Faith.

So, what is faith?

The definition of faith is a strong unshakeable BELIEF.

It is a BELIEF that YOU do not necessarily have to see to believe. It is having complete confidence and an absolute conviction in someone or something.

Ancient scripture also tells us that faith (belief) is dead if it doesn’t have works (actions).

Therefore, we know that to accomplish YOUR SUCCESS DECISION YOU MUST HAVE BELIEF and take ACTION.

BELIEF is the second step in OBSESSUCCESS: The Philosophy of Achievement.

The power of BELIEF is not remotely the same as the power of positive thinking.

Real power comes from BELIEVING not thinking positively about something.

The Obsessuccess Philosophy of Achievement states that YOU MUST BELIEVE in YOUR DECISION and YOUR BELIEF MUST BE unshakeable.

We have seen examples of men and women down through the ages that have BELIEVED so strongly and held firm to that BELIEF that they did whatever necessary to achieve their SUCCESS DECISION.

These men and women made their DECISION, BELIEVED and then they took action to ACHIEVE their SUCCESS.

YOU BELIEVE so strongly in YOUR SUCCESS DECISION that YOU would sacrifice anything for that DECISION.

YOU have been taught YOUR entire life that YOU can achieve YOUR SUCCESS by just thinking positively or by having a positive mental attitude, but now YOU know that even the author of one of the best- selling books on the subject didn’t believe that.

He believed YOUR true power was in what YOU BELIEVED.

Obsessuccess requires YOU to BELIEVE.

YOU can think positively morning, noon and night.

YOU can attempt to never have another negative thought.

YOU can attempt to never speak negatively about something or someone for the rest of YOUR life.

Unfortunately, this is an impossibility, and YOU know it.

YOU live in a negative world.

YOU will be bombarded with negative thoughts and feelings.

YOU will be attacked by negative people.

Positive Mental Attitude is a great concept that has been sold to YOU by all the self-help experts…book after book, seminar after seminar.

YOU have tried to achieve YOUR SUCCESS by thinking positively and having a positive mental attitude.

Unfortunately, this Positive Mindset Philosophy has failed YOU.

It will always fail YOU.

YOU have tried and tried through PMA, but it is not enough, and YOU know it.

PMA provides YOU a temporary burst of motivation.

YOU feel better about YOURSELF and YOUR situation for a season.

Obsessuccess requires YOU to make YOUR SUCCESS DECISION.

Obsessuccess requires YOU to BELIEVE.

YOUR DECISION.

YOUR BELIEF.

YOU MUST BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART, MIND AND SPIRIT.

THIS POWERFUL BELIEF becomes YOUR OBSESSION.

It becomes all YOU think about.

ALL YOU THINK ABOUT!

YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!

Remember, that no one has ever achieved anything in life without BELIEF.

PMA/Positive thinking has very little to do with YOU achieving YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!

Many books have been written about the positive mental attitude philosophy over the last 100 years promising that with a positive mental attitude or positive thinking the reader can achieve their SUCCESS.

Many of these books are long novels that are like reading an encyclopedia.

Many of these books are complex.

Some of YOU have attempted to read one or more of these books and discovered that the book was a tough read and it’s practices were just too difficult to put into everyday life. ??

Obsessuccess: The Philosophy of Achievement is a very short book.

It is simple to understand.

It was specifically written that way so that no one would be intimidated while reading it.

The philosophy is simple.

YOU MAKE YOUR SUCCESS DECISION

YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR DECISION WITH AN UNWAVERING BELIEF. HAVE FAITH.

YOU TAKE DISCIPLINED ACTION NEVER VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

YOU SACRIFICE. GIVE TO RECEIVE.

YOU PERSIST. NEVER GIVE UP.

YOU will not find PMA or Positive Thinking in the steps to achieving YOUR OBSESSUCCESS.

YOU exhibiting a positive mental attitude and thinking positively are great characteristics for YOU to have in YOUR life.

BE POSITIVE about accomplishing YOUR SUCCESS DECISION!

But remember, there is no short cut, no untold secret passed down through the ages that will magically allow YOUR SUCCESS to appear.

There is not a wish or a mantra.

The Obsessuccess philosophy is much, much more.

As discussed in previous Obsessuccess articles and videos, making YOUR DECISION is paramount.

Once YOU have made YOUR DECISION, YOU must BELIEVE.

BELIEVING is key.

In Ancient Scripture, Jesus of Nazareth taught that “if YOU have the FAITH (BELIEF) as small as a mustard seed, YOU could tell a mountain to move, and it will move.

Will YOUR BELIEF become that strong?

It can and it will once YOU are obsessed with achieving YOUR SUCCESS DECISION.

That obsession infiltrates YOUR BELIEFS and those BELIEFS become unshakable regardless of the negativity that life sends YOUR way.

YOU TAKE ACTION.

YOU SACRIFICE

YOU PERSIST.

YOU WILL NOT QUIT.

Nothing will stop YOU.

Here’s to YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!
