Inner Game Of Success
For years and years, I’ve read books about the power of positive thinking.
From Napolean Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich,” to “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wattles, to T. Harv Eker’s bestseller, “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, I’ve come to realize that inner principles of success DO exist to lead us to a world of wealth.
So — why aren’t more people instantly rich after reading any of the gems of positive thinking out in the universe? Why? Because there is a difference between awareness and actually putting a principle into practice. It takes work…. INNER work…. just as we go about our daily physical tasks each day, it’s equally important to do inner work on a consistent basis.
There is a difference between just realizing a truth and actually practicing that awareness on a daily basis. For instance, how many times do you find yourself saying something negative to yourself? It’s so easy to lapse into negative thought. (Especially when surrounded by negative thought throughout the media.)
How about putting ourselves on a diet of positive thought? To start, we could make ten minutes to meditate, contemplate positive thoughts and aspirations, and repeat positive affirmations. When (or if) negative thoughts creep up during the day, we can watch these mind games and replace them with positive words.
The inner game of success means mastering the ongoing chatter within our mind. When that chatter becomes more and more positive, our outer world is bound to reflect those inner thoughts.
