I have adopted Positive Thinking this year. I have tried to apply to my life in the past but now..it's on! It works and I absolutely swear by it!
Example: I sold my house in NJ in October of this year. This thing was a freaking CURSE! My tenants stiffed me and broke their lease in December of 2009, which left the house house vacant most of 2010. Yes, do the math...me paying the mortgage on an unoccupied house for almost a year. 2 weeks before the closing of the house, my real estate agent called with horrible news: The town inspectors came in and found a ton of stuff wrong with the house. She didn't think they'd be able to get everything done by the closing. I cried for about 5 minutes, frustrated, but pulled it together and just started thinking positive. Needless to say, we made the closing date! It was a pure miracle and I attribute it all to POSITIVE THINKING (and the GREAT GRACE of GOD!)
LIFE LESSON: don't stress over things YOU have NO CONTROL over. It doesn't help your situation, as a matter of fact it probably only stresses you out and makes you SICK! So not worth it.
