-- Posted by Anonymous at 12:19 am on Nov. 21, 2008 It's true... You are who you believe that you are. If you believe that you have a problem, then you will have a problem. We are in control of our own minds, nothing else controls it for us. There is no automatic pilot. The only way you can be depressed is by "knowing that you are" The only way you can be happy is by "knowing that you are" You want to be happy? Then don't "try" to be happy, just "know" that you are. Program your own mind to think positively. Anybody in the world can do it. You just have to believe that you can do it.   -- Posted by ohxxindie at 12:20 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Agree to disagree. -- Posted by kaylalynn2008 at 12:21 am on Nov. 21, 2008 insightful. just not really my cup o' tea.. *shrugs* -- Posted by nyn at 12:21 am on Nov. 21, 2008 There are limits to "mind over matter"... -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:22 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from ohxxindie at 12:20 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Agree to disagree.

You have to tell yourself that it will work, and then it will work.

You are in control of your mind. You can only choose to feel negative by telling yourself that you are. Just like you can only choose to be positive by telling yourself that you are. -- Posted by kaylalynn2008 at 12:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:22 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Salamander at 12:21 am on Nov. 21, 2008 There are limits to "mind over matter"...

No, but you can believe that you are going to be a millionaire, then you'll go out and do it. Success doesnt come from "trying" or from "luck" Success comes from "knowing" that you can. And any successful person would tell you the exact same thing. -- Posted by justin1990rm at 12:27 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 12:23 am on Nov. 21, 2008 i like to be in touch with reality Then open your mind and get involved.

But your mind is only different if you "believe" that it is. I'm not telling people to "try" and be positive"..... just "know" that you are. You can only choose how you feel. Because negative people tell themselves that they are not in control.... thats exactly why there not in control. You have to believe that you are in control in order to be in control. -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:29 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 12:27 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 12:23 am on Nov. 21, 2008 i like to be in touch with reality    Then open your mind and get involved.

Sometimes we can have prolonged periods of "stinking thinking" and this makes life less enjoyable. However we can retain our thinking into positive patterns to improve the quality of our lives." And then he went on to say... 'Have you ever listened to a song early in the morning and it's played in your mind all day long? Imagine if positive thoughts played in your mind all day long without any effort - Imagine how good that would feel.' It made me think, actually. -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:50 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Jman19 at 12:47 am on Nov. 21, 2008 I was actually reading this magazine type thing, and there was this guy that wrote in it about positive thinking, and he said   'Affirmations are positive statements.

Its really fantastic stuff!   It's not harder to be positive than it is to be negative. And being positive feels much better!   So why do so many people choose to feel nagative? its a funny world.   Everybody is great and has the potential to do something great..... but they have to "Know" that they can do it!   "Guys....
