Positive Thinking

‘Bimpe Odunjo, Ph.D.August 2013

State of Mind

The moment you stop thinking positively, death is accelerated (physical, mental and emotional).

Your attitude determines if your next steps will be an ordeal or an adventure.

Choose or Decide

To Decide is to determine what you must do to fulfill your goals.

To Choose is to select your preference based on options that may be good or bad.

The first step is to decipher who you are: A Decision Maker or a Chooser?

Success is Personal

• Your definition • Your measures• Your effort• Your point of reference

Motive : Desire

• You must want to succeed. The need to succeed is equal to the need to breathe...that's desire.

Motive : Discipline

• You have to do what you should do even when you do not feel like it. You have to discipline the mind and body.

Motive : Diligence

• Diligence: Starting is only half the battle. You must consistently attend to and with determination endure till the task is complete.

Footprints

• Every waking moment of life there is a lesson to learn.

• What you decide or how you choose to react/respond to that lesson will determine the next event(s) in your life.

Footprints

• If you consistently do the same thing, you will always get the same results.

• Success is personal...so is the desire to succeed

Conclusion

• Even when you don't feel like it
