What is positive thinking and positive believing? Positive thinking means a person is solution or success focused, whereas positive believing means a person has a reason to believe that they will succeed.
There is a misconception that with positive thinking, everything is possible in life. No matter how positive I am, I cannot do a kidney transplant on someone and expect them to live. The reality is that positive thinking does not guarantee success. But, positive thinking with positive effort and actions increases our probability of success.
To succeed in life, one needs both the skill and the will. One without the other will not work. But between the two, will is a little more important than the skill. Skill can be matched but when you are down and hurt, that is the time when your will be going to pull you up one more time, to get up and give one more push and that is the winning edge.
Positive believing is more than positive thinking. It is, knowing that positive thinking will work. Positive believing I an attitude of confidence that comes from preparation.
Having a positive attitude without making the effort is nothing more than having a wishful dream.
