Infinite Life
Did you ever wonder why you are encouraged by so many people to make positive thinking a part of your life? Well some are just trying to sell you something. For me there is a greater reason. I want to see you go beyond positive thinking into and Infinite life!
What do I mean by Infinite life?
If you have read any of my other blogs on the subject (I’ll put some links at the bottom) or any of my Ezine article on the Infinite Life, then you already know. If not, then here is a quick synopsis.
We are a part of the Infinite, which some might call God or the Universe. We are a part of this Creative Source and so we have the possibility of a life that is Infinite is scope. It is something much larger than any of us can imagine. How could it be linked to the Infinite and not be?
Positive thinking
Positive thinking is just one way of getting into the flow of this Infinite life. Positive thinking, meaning thinking about your life and situations in your life in a way that brings about positive results, it is a very important step, but it is not all.
What else might there be?
Well, for one think there is faith. You might say that faith is the same thing, but I think there is a difference. The difference being that faith believes what you are thinking positive about. Let’s say that you are thinking of ways to improve your financial success. You can think positive thoughts until you are blue in the face, but if you do not believe that it will ever actually come true then you are spinning your wheels!
You got to move it, move it!
Another big factor is if you are willing to get up and do something about whatever it is you are thinking positively about. If you are not willing to get up and work toward whatever it is you want, you are not going to get anywhere. What you do may not be difficult but you have to do something. Even when you receive a gift you must stretch out your hand and take it.
Don’t wait!
I challenge you to start today! Decide what it is you want to change in your life and then start to think of positive steps you might take to get there. Start to believe that you can actually do this and believe that the Infinite will help you to do what you have to do. Do not accept a mediocre life for yourself! Understand that you are created to live an Infinite life and then go out and get it!
Here’s to You!
P.S. Here are some other articles.

Infinite Life: why do bad things happen to good people?
Why You Should Never Have to Say I Hate My Life
Self Confidence
Our self confidence has much to do with how we relate to life and those around us. The question is, does positive thinking help to improve our self confidence? The answer to that question is yes.
What does self confidence have to do with it?
We are what we think. If we think we are losers we are. If we think we are winners, we are. What we think about ourselves has much to do with who and what we are. Our self confidence, whether good or bad, tells us our place in life and what we can expect from it.
Having a good level of self confidence or building one is important. How we get that self confidence can be from our upbringing or it can be intentional on our part.
Positive thinking opens the door.
I said that our self confidence might be from our upbringing. If it was, we were helped by our parents and teachers to see that we were able to handle life’s problems. We were shown that we could rely on our abilities to solve the puzzles that life handed us. We learned to be positive.
If we were not lucky enough to have that sort of education, then we have to do it on our own and by our own intention. We learn that we can do what we set out to do and that we are able to handle life’s problems.
As we learn to think in a positive manner about the situations in our life and how to deal with them in ways that brings a good outcome or result for us and all those involved, we learn self confidence. We learn that we are not terrible people, but that we are able to do what we need to do.
What we learn.
When we use positive thinking to shape how we handle life, we learn that things go well when we expect them to and they go badly when we expect that outcome. How we believe our life to be is how it is.
We learn that life can be a series of one horrid experience after another of that it can be one blessing after another. The choice is ours to make. Most of us are bright enough to choose the latter.
How about you?

P.S. here is the international best seller The Power of Positive Thinking. I read it and thought it had some good things to say. It is a little outdated, but sometimes that’s not all bad. Make sure to read and understand the parts that talk about not only thinking positively, but working toward your goals.

Infinite Life
I believe that we have the opportunity to have an infinite life. Recently I had an experience where someone I know was questioning why do bad things happen to good people. Here is the real simple and, frankly, only answer.
Because they are alive!
That’s right. Bad things happen to good people because they are alive. God is not punishing them, the cosmos does not hate them, they haven’t done anything wrong, well maybe, they are simply alive.
If you are alive, you can expect bad things to happen. It makes me so angry to here people say that if you just follow this or that religion, nothing will ever happen to you, or if you follow the law of attraction well enough you will never attract bad stuff into your life. Pardon my crassness, but bullshit!
If you are alive, no matter if you are a good person or a bad person, bad stuff will happen; hardships will happen.\
You mean there’s no way out?
That’s right! As long as you are drawing breath, you run the risk of having something bad happen to you. Now that does not mean there is nothing we can do about it.
Step one: Have faith.
Have faith that God, the Universe, the Infinite Source, whatever it is you believe in will help you get through whatever it is you are going through. I said before that re3ligion will not stop bad stuff from happening in your life, and it won’t, but it will help in dealing with it! There have been many studies that show that people with religious faith of some sort deal with hardship better than those who do not.
Step two: Think positive.
I don’t meant the kind of thinking that denies that anything is wrong. This will only lead to frustration and the mind tries to justify what is happening with what you are telling it. Some people seem to say that you should never admit that you are having hardship, but I disagree.
Admit it, and then move on. The type of positive thinking that I am talking about is where you look at whatever situation you are in and then begin to look for positive ways to deal with whatever it is. How can you turn this situation around? How can you think about it so that it does not crush or control your life? What can you learn from it?
Step three: Action
Now that you have thought about your situation and have come up with some positive steps, it is time to put them into action. Don’t sit around waiting for someone else to do it for you. Don’t sit around waiting for the Universe to do it for you either. There is an old saying about how God made a lot of marble, but he never made a statue.
As you begin to take action, you may well notice that the Infinite seems to be lending a hand, but if you do nothing, you may have a very long wait. I am not saying that God does not move or that God does not change things. What I am saying is that God usually expects us to do something as well.
Why do bad things happen to good people? They happen because they are alive. What they do with those bad things is usually in measure with who and what they are. What about you? What do you do when bad things come into your life?
Here’s to You!
