The Power of Positive Thinking






Your beliefs become your thoughts
Your thoughts become your words
Your words become your actions
Your actions become your habits
Your habits become your values
Your values become your destiny
-  Mathama Ghandi




Who would dispute this elegant line of reasoning propagated by one of the world’s great spiritual leaders and yet each day, many people think their way into illness and disease. How is that, you say?  We’ve little control over our circumstances and certainly don’t want to get sick.  Maybe so, but considering and refining how you think may be the most important step you can take to insure optimal health.

Perception truly is reality.  Stem cell biologist, Bruce Lipton who is also a bestselling author of The Biology of Belief cites: “Energy from neurological thought is 100 times more influential on genetic expression than molecular (chemical) stimulation.” Which is why merely popping a pill to improve your mood or fix your blood pressure rarely brings the health and well being you desire. 

Consider the athlete faced with a daunting hurdle or an entrepreneur being told over and again that his idea is foolish or won’t work.  The difference in their success lies in the attitude taken which fuels and drives focused behavior that yields best results. Your beliefs become...your actions become...your destiny.

Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without dedication and perseverance.  And each day provides the opportunity to begin again, to replace toxic negativity with life-affirming positivity.

Yours in health,
