David J. Abbott M.D. is the Positive Thinking Doctor. Dr. Dave spent his professional career working as an eye surgeon in developing countries. After twenty-eight years of working overseas, he became an ophthalmologist at Phoenix Indian Medical Center working with more than twenty different Native American tribes from the American south west.

Early in his career, Dr. Dave figured out that positive thinking worked better for most people than negative thinking, but it wasn't clear how or why positive thinking works. He noticed that people didn't get what they wanted in life. Instead they got what they expected. People who had positive expectations seemed to fare better than people who had low or negative expectations.

Dr. Dave also met thousands of people wallowing in depression sinking in a quagmire of negative thoughts, and he wanted to know how and why these people ended up in such a miserable state.

Although he was trained to preserve and restore vision using eye surgery, Dr. Dave wanted to help people restore their inner vision as well. He wanted to show people how to look at the world through eyes of possibility and love. That's why he wrote five books:

1. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

2. Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking

3. Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

4. Programmer's Manual For Your Mind

5. Owner's Manual For Your Mind

These book summarize what Dr. Dave has learned about positive thinking and how to develop a positive mind.

Dr. Abbott and his family sailed around the world on their thirty-nine foot catamaran Exit Only. If you want to discover what it's like to sail on the ocean of your dreams, visit their website at www.maxingout.com.

Positive Graphics.com records some the highlights of their eleven year adventure. Their photographs have positive captions that encourage you to live your dreams.

Dr. Abbott is an expert in expeditionary desert travel. He has driven more than one-hundred thousand kilometers in the deserts of Arabia and Australia using customized Land Rover Defenders. Positive Graphics.com shows his Defenders in action in the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Abbott is a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He performed his internship at Gorgas Hospital in the Panama Canal Zone. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of Kentucky. He did a retina vitreous fellowship and is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He practiced overseas for his entire professional career. (Kenya, Liberia, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Saudi Arabia)

POSITIVE THINKING IS THE NATURAL SOFTWARE OF YOUR MIND

Positive thinking works because it is the natural software for your mind. God designed a positive software package that would permit your mind to function at full capacity and maximum efficiency. He created your mind to work best with a positive operating system.

Negative thinking doesn't work well, because your mind was not designed to function with a negative operating system. Although your mind is an awesome biocomputer, it will not function well using the wrong software. Severely depressed people run a negative operating system most of the time, and they illustrate how bad things can get when negative thinking takes control of your thoughts.

Positive thinking truly is the right type of thinking. Positive thinking is more than a good idea. It's the way your mind was designed to work. God designed your mind to function best when it’s under the influence of positive beliefs.

Positive thinking will not make your life perfect. It will not make all your problems disappear or prevent serious illness and accidents. Nevertheless, positive thinking will make your life immeasurably better. No amount of positive thinking will take something bad and turn it into something good; however, positive thinking will turn it into something better. No matter how negative your life is, thinking positive makes it better.

Positive thoughts are like a giant magnet that attracts good things. The more positive thoughts you put into your mind, the stronger the positive magnet becomes, and the more your life improves. Positive thoughts don’t just pop into your mind. You put them there on purpose, one thought at a time. When you fill your mind with positive thoughts, it’s not long before a positive operating system is up and running in your mind.

USE REPETITION TO INSTALL A POSITIVE OPERATING SYSTEM

God has given you all the tools you need to have a positive mind.

People complain that it's difficult to live as a positive person in a negative world. They talk as if the odds are stacked against them. They should accept their miserable existence and learn to live with a negative mind.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

God gave you the power of repetition to install a positive operating system in your mind. If you consistently and persistently repeat positive thoughts, it is absolutely inevitable that your mind will fill up with positive things, and before long, your mind will start repeating those same positive thoughts back to you.

Listen to your inner dialogue. Is it positive or negative? If your mind still repeats negative thoughts, then the job's not done. When the inner voice changes from negative to positive, it's time to celebrate, because now you have a positive operating system running in your mind.

But don't stop using positive repetition when your inner dialogue turns positive. You're just getting started. There's no limit to how good your life can become if you continue putting positive things into your mind.

God gave you an awesome mind, and He expects you to fill it with good things. Repeat the following affirmations until your mind repeats them back to you:

Affirmation I

God loves me and accepts me the way I am, but He loves me too much to let me stay that way. God's love carries away my burden of guilt. His love not only wipes the slate clean, it throws the slate away.

Affirmation II

There is no limit to how good my life can become when I open my heart and mind to the power of God's love. When my mind is full of thoughts consistent with God's love, my mind is exactly the way God means for it to be. When my heart is full of emotions consistent his love, my emotions are healthy, and they are exactly the way God means for them to be.

Affirmation III

I need to change my mind about many things. When I look at my failures, I need to change my mind. When I look at my limitations, I need to change my mind. When I look at the past, I need to change my mind. When I look at the present I need to change my mind. When I look at the future, I need to change my mind. I can change anything I want in my life by simply changing my mind.

Affirmation IV

Change happens when I think differently than I have always thought and act differently that I have always acted. I think and act my new life into existence.

Repeat these words until your mind repeats them back to you and discover the miraculous power of positive repetition.

THE RED SEA CHRONICLES - A FIRST CLASS SAILING ADVENTURE

When Dr. Dave isn't working as a flying Doctor for the Indian Health Service, he is sailing around the world on his sailboat. Find out what it's like to sail on the ocean of your dreams by watching Dr. Dave's DVD - The Red Sea Chronicles. Put some positive adventure into your mind and push your life in a positive direction.

Captain Dave and his family spent eleven years sailing around the world on their Privilege 39 catamaran, Exit Only. During the trip, the crew of Exit Only shot 200 hours of video with professional cameras to show people what it's like to sail on a small boat around the world.

The Red Sea Chronicles is a one hour and twenty-two minute feature film showing their adventures as Exit Only sails through Pirate Alley in the Gulf of Aden and up the Red Sea. The professional footage documents their experiences in Oman, Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt, and the Suez Canal. It chronicles the rigors of traveling in a remote section of the world rarely visited by cruisers. Exit Only dodges Yemeni pirates, fights a gale and sand storms in the Bab al Mandeb at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The crew explores deserted islands on the western shores of the Red Sea, and learns to check the cruising guides for land mines before venturing ashore.

The Red Sea Chronicles also has outstanding Special Features that include an Instructional Video on Storm Management that tells sailors how to deal with storms at sea.

And don't forget the two Music Videos: "The Red Sea Blues", and "Captain - Save Our Souls".

The Red Sea Chronicles is a first class adventure that stokes the sailing dreams of both experienced and wannabe sailors alike. Order your copy of the Red Sea Chronicles and experience the adventures of Exit Only as they sail around the world and up the Red Sea.
