PMA

PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)...

Having a plan... knowing the goal. Having strong determination and continuous effort... with faith, courage and... focus. Having more than just a wish... having a BURNING DESIRE for success!


Do I really believe this "positive attitude" talk?

Absolutely!

Hummmm... Where to start?

Once upon a time... a not so young woman, (40 years old to be exact) had to make some life-changing decisions. She was in the beginning process of divorce with one small child and a teenager. She had managed as a stay-at-home mom with a high school education through the 10th grade only... but now... what could she do? She remembered her dream of being a nurse... (she had almost forgotten how to dream)

Despite her fears... (too many to recount here!) she started on the long road at adult-ed for her GED. She traveled her own personal trail of tears to American River College for 2 years of general ed & pre-nursing courses... Keeping her eyes on her goal, never giving up... she walked into nursing ... and after 2 years...GRADUATION!
A Registered Nurse!

She never gave up... even when it took all her strength to keep going ... just one more semester... holding on...(someone somewhere wrote, when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hold on!) Focus... she knew she could do it... she could believe in herself just one more time! Her burning desire for that Associate in Science degree... her goal... she did it! She reached it!
And now... still doing it... over 23 years!

A few weeks ago this wife & her husband had a talk. They had been working hard... toward big goals...

Yet, they were talking negative talk... focused on unmet-goals... feeling low... even discouraged and somewhat depressed (oh yes! It's true.)

They looked at each other... knowing full-well that negative thinking attracts negative events & people. They had a heart-to-heart and turned from the negative talk ... and talked encouragement... and belief in themselves ... and in their plan and in their goal.

You may not believe what I'm going to tell you next, but the very NEXT day the positive events & people came into their lives... not just one appointment but four... out of the blue, THEY called us!! It works! This positive thinking stuff really does work!

If you haven't read THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne... READ IT! The law of attraction is a law of nature... like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you.... Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life.

So remember... Know what you want... and GO for it! You will need to have that heart-to-heart sometimes... we are still learning how to control our thoughts.
Keep your PMA!
