If you are like me and had the privilege of working with and knowing wealthy people (i.e. not people on $50K / Year Pretending, but people of say at least $5M+) – you would already know that “Extreme Positive Thinking” really only has a place for scammers, people who don’t like to face facts or those who really use it as their “Religion” to help them sleep well at night.
Now my own Business is healthy and things are actually playing out well for me (Finally Thank God!) – I have really been working with two types of people when you boil it all down.
– Those that are having tough times – but pushing through and making it.
– Those that are having tough times – but are spinning around in circles and failing.
The alarming trend which I have confirmed (yet again) is that the people who are making it – are very similar to the people I know who are worth at least $5M. Now, I know you may be thinking “Jesus Christ Ed, you stupid Capitalist, is it just about money?”.
My response to that is – of course it isn’t just about money, but come on and work with me here – Money is one of the top drivers of our satisfaction in our society (if you have ever been unemployed like I was for a while and you pay your rent with your Growing Credit Card Debt – trust me! You learn how powerful money is!).
The reality is that when someone is over-engaged in “Positive Thinking” and are saying things like “Oh it’s easy”, “Money flows to me in rivers of abundance”, “Money Grows on Trees like Apples”, “If i just visualize happy things Natalie Portman or Sam Worthington will visit me in my bedroom at 2AM etc” – they really aren’t grasping reality.
Where it get’s worse for these poor people, is that instead of just accepting reality in that “Well it’s tough – but things are going to get easier” and solving them problems and going for it – it encourages one to become inactive.
And here is the big thing, everyone who I know that has an unhealthy obsession with “Positive Thinking” – they aren’t the ones making the big bucks. They are usually quite Good-Natured, Loving and Kind – but very poor, pressured and frustrated people.
If you were like me once and got sucked into this “Positive Thinking Fad” – it’s okay and don’t panic! Just start undoing the brain-washing all the Positive Thinking Cults have forced on you. And if you are paying some “Guru” tons of money to help you -please stop it!
Just go down to your local Church, Mosque, Synagogue, Buddist Temple or Liberal Party office and ask for some free advice. As for you stupid, pathetic worms who are using “Positive Thinking” to rip poor honest people off with your schemes and cults – I sincerely hope you twist your ankle going down the stairs today! You people are Garbage! And I hope you get taken out to the curb!

What are you trying to say Edward? Do you mean that we actually have to put some effort into our life and business in order to get something out of it and not just laze around manifesting it?? Pah…lol
As Thomas Edison said “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work”
Great post!
I like the way you think Karen!
Yes, just thinking about $10,000 Cash doesn’t make it appear.
If it did, anyone would have $10K go “Poof” on their desk right now.
