ZERO
TOLERANCE TO NEGATIVE THINKING |
THE MATHEMATICS OF PERSONAL CHANGE
You must choose whether you will run your mind using a
positive operating system or a negative one.
A positive operating system is enabling; it
empower you to say yes to life. The first time you say
yes, a small positive change happens. Then next time you
say yes, the positive change is slightly larger. Saying
yes to life has an effect that is more than cumulative.
Each yes pushes you further up the exponential curve of positive
change. Each yes has a greater impact on your life than
the last. Most people say yes to life so infrequently that
positive change never has a chance to compound and work its
magic. This is unfortunate because the best things in life
happen when you ride the exponential curve of positive change
all the way to the top.
Most people don't understand the
mathematics of personal change. When you say yes to life,
your positive beliefs carry you up the exponential curve of
change. Saying no to life and running a negative operating
system is like dividing by zero. When you divide anything
by zero, the answer is always zero. That is exactly what a
negative operating system does for you. It divides your
life by zero, and the result is zero. You go nowhere; you
are stuck where you are.
A positive operating system feels good.
It keeps you optimistic. When you run a positive operating
system, you look for the good and find it. Good finders
enjoy their lives more than negative people. Good finders
live a self-fulfilling prophecy that brings good things into
their life. They look for and discover all of the good
qualities in their spouse. They look at their teenagers,
and they see the positive potential among all of the negative
turmoil. They look at their job, and they see
opportunities for growth and advancement. They look at
themselves, and they know they are riding the exponential curve
of positive change into an exciting future. People who
look for the good end up feeling good because they focus on the
good things in their life. A positive operating system
makes every aspect of your life better. There is no limit
limit to how good your life can become when a positive operating
system controls your mind.
PROBLEMS WITH A NEGATIVE OPERATING SYSTEM
A negative operating system is not only an inefficient way to
run your mind, it also results in mental disability that makes
it impossible to live your dreams. Mental disabilities are
more incapacitating than physical ones. Physical
disabilities are hurdles that make it more challenging to live
your dreams, but mental disabilities are dream slayers. They
destroy your dreams and bury them in Nowhere Land.
Erik Weihenmayer's physical disability is
blindness, but he still climbed Mount Everest with the help of
his friends. He also climbed El Capitan in Yosemite
National Park. Eric is the first blind person to climb the
highest mountains on the seven continents. He wouldn't
have been able to climb the seven summits if he had a negative
operating system running in his mind. A negative operating
system would have stopped him in his tracks.
Negative thinkers run a negative operating
system, and the dark side of life controls their destiny.
They live a self-fulfilling prophecy that brings misery.
Their Bad Finders are up and running all the time. When
they look at their spouse, they list all of the shortcomings and
failures. When they look at their children, they focus on
their dysfunctional teenage behavior. When they look at
their job, they see the threat of redundancy and recession.
When they look at themselves, they see stagnation. The
mathematics of negative thinking not only divides everything by
zero, ending up less zero. Negative thinkers keep track of
all the negativity, and before long, they are less than zero.
They find themselves psychologically in the minus column with
depression and dysfunction.
Positive beliefs are the only beliefs that
take you to your dreams. Negative beliefs take you to your
nightmares, and running a negative operating system guarantees
that you will torpedo your own future. A negative
operating system is a doomsday device that destroys your life;
sooner or later your dreams will be blown to smithereens if a
negative operating system is in control.

ZERO TOLERANCE TO NEGATIVE THINKING
David J. Abbott M.D.
THE FACTS OF LIFE
People are always asking the wrong questions about sailing
around the world. The most frequent question is how much it
costs to buy a yacht and do a circumnavigation. The second
question is about how much time it takes, and the third question
is about pirates and hurricanes. I understand why they ask
those questions, but there are other more important questions on
which they need to focus.
Questions like the following:
How many lives do you get?
If you aren't living your dreams now, when are you going to
start?
How many years are you guaranteed to have perfect health?
How many years are you going to be alive?
These are the questions that really matter. It's easy to forget
the facts of life.
Here are the facts of life.
1. You only get one life.
2. Life is short and death is long.
3. There is virtually no reason that you should not be living
your dreams.
On the wall above my computer, I have a large chart that shows
the timeline of human history. It goes from neolithic and
paleolithic times right up to the present. It shows the major
empires that for a time spread across and ruled planet earth.
Some of those civilizations lasted for more than a thousand
years, and now they are gone. Billions of anonymous people had
their shot at life and then disappeared leaving hardly a trace.
When I traveled in the Saudi desert, I sometimes found
arrowheads lying in the sand. The last person who touched that
arrowhead lived in neolithic times more than eight thousand
years ago. That arrowhead reminds me of the shortness of life,
and that I should be living my dreams.
Your short stay on planet earth is frighteningly brief. It's
like a puff of smoke or the flash of a meteor in the night sky.
The facts of life are very clear. Life is way too short to not
be living your dreams.
Go ahead. Live your dreams and make every day count for
something good.
Even though your life is short, there is no limit to how good it
can become.
