Turning Problems into Opportunities: The Role of Positive Thinking

Masaru Emoto's Rice Experiment

Masaru Emoto, the author of "The Hidden Messages in Water," conducted a fascinating experiment to demonstrate the impact of words and emotions on physical matter. He filled three jars with boiled rice, labeling them "love," "hate," and "neutral." Emoto spoke positive words to the "love" jar, negative words to the "hate" jar, and ignored the "neutral" jar for 30 days. The results were striking: the rice in the "Love" jar remained in good condition, while the rice in the "Hate" jar became rotten. The rice in the "neutral" jar was only slightly spoiled. This experiment suggests that our energy, frequency, and attitude significantly affect the world around us.

The Influence of Attitude on Success

Jeff Keller, in his book "Attitude is Everything," emphasizes the crucial role of attitude in achieving success. He shares his personal story of becoming a lawyer, only to find himself unhappy and stressed. A late-night infomercial for a product called "The Mental Bank" inspired him to change his life by working on his subconscious beliefs. Keller's transformation led him to write about the power of positive thinking and its impact on one's life.

You are a human magnet.

Keller asserts that we attract people and opportunities that align with our dominant thoughts. Positive, confident thinking attracts similar energy and opportunities. Famous writer and speaker Earl Nightingale famously said, "We Become What We Think About," highlighting the importance of our thoughts in shaping our actions and lives. Henry Ford's quote, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right," further underscores this idea.

Commitment Moves Mountains

Positive thinking alone is insufficient; taking action is essential. Keller illustrates this with the story of his friend, who founded an art gallery. Despite numerous rejections from Walt Disney executives, his friend's unwavering commitment eventually earned him the coveted license, leading to immense success. This story highlights the importance of persistence and action in achieving goals.

Turning problems into opportunities

Keller encourages readers to view problems as catalysts for change. He cites Walt Disney's journey, from being fired for a supposed lack of creativity to founding the world's leading animation company. Similarly, Keller's own dissatisfaction with his legal career pushed him to pursue his true passions. Problems often lead to new opportunities and personal growth.

The Power of Words

Our words shape our reality. Jeff Bezos, in an interview, discussed his approach to innovation, acknowledging that most new products might fail, but one success could outweigh multiple failures. Napoleon Hill's writings also emphasize the power of positive words. Keller advises always speaking positively about oneself, as our words can influence our mindset and actions.
