I’ve had many seminar attendees ask why “positive thinking” doesn’t always respond positively when its expected to.

The simple answer is, behind each  positive thought must be a  positive belief.  Meaning,  just saying “ I want to be healthy, wealthy,  achieve my objective”, isn’t enough. You must truly believe that what you seek is within your ability to achieve and  receive.

Often, so called positive thinkers give lip service to their desires. They simply do not believe they are capable of or deserve to attain life’s riches. “I’d like to find a partner and get married, but heck, who’d want to marry me?” is positive in one sense but  negative in another. The desire isn’t supported by a belief that it’s achievable.

It’s always the dominant idea held that activates the law of attraction. If you want something but believe you aren’t going to get it,  puts your desire  in the negative basket. The negative simply squashes the positive.  You get what you believe.

Your mind is like a garden. When you plant seeds in your garden and nourish them, they grow and bear fruit.  If you trample them, starve them,  they wither and  die.

When you plant healthy thoughts in the garden of your mind without obstruction, they  come forth after their own kind.  Like attracts like. You cannot plant an apple seed and produce a banana. Thus, you cannot plant negative ideas into your subconscious mind  (your garden) and hope to reap positive results. Good thoughts attract good results. Negative thoughts reap negative results. Each after its own kind.

Strong belief in an ability to achieve, to become highly respected and creatively skilled,  is  always present as a possibility in the life of every human.  When you think and believe correctly, take action, possibility turns into probability.

The law of mind is the law of belief.  Feed positive ideas into your mind and back them with a strong belief in your ability to be, do and have all that is worthwhile.

You were not born into this world to go about in rags, go to bed hungry, be denied any of the riches life offers as a gift to us.  You have been granted free will, an ability to choose what to think, what to attach faith to, what to believe in and how to act.

Your life is an extension of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs. You are a result of your past and current thinking. If you want to change your current lifestyle, begin by changing current concepts, attitudes and beliefs. Lift them up.  Support them with a belief in their invincibility. You are or can be an outstanding human being. Believe it.

Remember: nothing, absolutely nothing occurs in your life until a thought enters your mind. First comes thought followed by action. Feed your mind with what is sensible, practical, rational and affirmative. It will produce for you in a positive sense all that you desire And according to your belief is it done unto you. (Brian Adams is the author of the best seller HOW TO SUCCEED). 

The English mathametician and philosopher, Sir Isaac Newton, who taught us the laws of gravity and motion back in the seventeenth century, said: action and reaction are equal to each other.  It’s a restatement of the law of cause and effect which clearly states that every affirmative or negative  effect, condition and circumstance in the life of humans, has an identical cause. We bring on our own problems by virtue of how we think and  act. Good brings good, evil brings evil. Karma comes into play. Continue reading →

Most people take the path of strong resistance when they set out to accomplish aims or solve everyday problems and set-backs. It’s a do-or-die situation and because of inflexibility, they end up in a hospital bed or worse in a coffin. Continue reading →

The answer is “no” according to author-publisher Brian Adams.

“For dedicated bibliophiles like myself, no technological apparatus can replace the advantages a printed book offers. As I highlight passages from a “self help” or information text book and regularly want to refer to it, I want to be able to access the content quickly. I also like to look at a book’s cover, read the cover flaps and like the feel of a nicely-bound hardcover” he says. Continue reading →

The author says he’s getting letters and emails from the USA, Canada, Europe and so many from Australia thanking him for what the book’s content has motivated them to achieve for themselves.

“It’s a matter of appraising this life we’ve been gifted and putting it into proper perspective, of dealing with reality rather than superficiality. We’ve held to a lot of nonsense over the centuries, a great deal of spin handed to us by educationists, religionists, Governments and of recent times the media. The race mind is still not attuned to truth but held captive by beliefs that are totally out of date. Much of what we have been programmed to believe about life, how it began, who caused it to happen and why we are here, has little substance to it,” the author says.

Science deals in facts, works on known principles. It doesn’t take on wild assumptions or accepts unrealistic fairytale ideas to arrive at conclusions.  Science has an open mind which  changes and adapts as its knowledge improves.  If schools taught  us how to think and believe  from the standpoint of truth, that is, what has been proven, shown to be fact, we’d  soon learn how to vastly  improve our own existence.”

“Humans must deal with the cosmic laws because they govern human existence. Most are unaware of what these laws are and of their importance. Isaac Newton, who taught us the laws of gravity and motion centuries ago, said that action and reaction are equal to each other. It’s a  reflection of the law of cause and effect, as is the suggestion in Galatians:  whatsoever a man soweth,  that shall he also reap. Many, simply do not understand that what we think and believe is the cause of how we act and how we act results in the quantity and quality of the life we ourselves produce,” Brian Adams maintains.
