Cathy
Cathy is a sales assistant; she worked over two years at her place of employment. Last month, Cathy applied for a supervisory position within her company, but she did not receive the promotion.

By following her positive thinking Cathy did three things. First, she looked for positive in this situation. Cathy discussed results with her supervisors and found that she didn’t have computer skills that were desirable to the position. Cathy decided to look at this as a way to secure new training instead of blaming herself for lack of skills.

Next, Cathy sat down and made a list of all the positive outcomes of new computer training. She wrote down  all possible jobs inside and  outside of company that she could apply for, benefits of news computer skills for her current position and her personal life.

Then, Cathy quickly enrolled in a computer class and learn all she could from it.  Six months later, Cathy applied for and got a promotion within her company.

John
John has been carving wood as a hobby for over twelve years. Recently, John decided to write a short, informational guide to woodcarving and sell it on the internet as a source of extra income. John used his savings to have the guide professionally written, to have a web site designed and to buy some banner advertising for his new site. Although John had a fair number of visitors to his site his guide was not selling. After one month John decided his idea was hopeless and was ready to give up. His wife, however, believed wholeheartedly in him and his guide and wasn’t ready to see John quit. After convincing John to try it her way, they sat down and made a list.

First, John and his wife made a list of all the good points of the guide. After looking at the results of John’s initial research they both decided that the guide was a good source of basic information for people who were new to woodcarving. Realizing this, John decided to focus his selling techniques on beginning woodcarvers.

Next, John and his wife looked for markets that catered to woodcarving beginners. During this search John came across a web site that specialized in woodcarving tool kits for beginners.
John contacted the owners of the tool site with an offer. In exchange for a link to the woodcarving tool web site, that site provided a link for buying John’s guide. Within a few weeks, John’s sales increased dramatically. With new found confidence, John began contacting other markets and increased his affiliations and referrals.

As you can see positive thinking isn’t repeating” I’m happy” again and again.
Cathy and John decided to look for something positive in negative situation.
They, both found benefits in their situations.
Cathy decided that although a computer-training course could not help her get the promotion that she had missed, it could benefit her life in many other ways.
John and his wife decided to market the guide to a different group of people in order to increase sales.

Finally, both Cathy and John used the power of positive thinking to follow through on their goals. By focusing on the positive benefits, both of them were able to gain confidence necessary to continue working towards their desired outcomes and reach their goals.
