Just Sharing a
thought that how our mind works.
Our mind is a "thought factory." It's
a busy factory, producing countless thoughts in one day. Production in our
thought factory is under the charge of two foremen, one of whom we will call
Mr. Triumph(Positive Side of Mind) and the other Mr. Defeat(Negative Side of
Mind ). Mr. Triumph is in charge of manufacturing positive thoughts. He
specializes in producing reasons why you can, why you're qualified, why you
will. The other foreman, Mr. Defeat, produces negative, deprecating thoughts.
He is your expert in developing reasons why you can't, why you're weak, why
you're inadequate. His specialty is the "why-you-will-fail" chain of
thoughts. Both Mr. Triumph and Mr. Defeat are intensely obedient. They snap to
attention immediately. All you need do to signal either foreman is to give the
slightest mental beck and call. If the signal is positive, Mr. Triumph will
step forward and go to work. Likewise, a negative signal brings Mr. Defeat
forward. To see how these two foremen work for you, try this example. Tell
yourself, "Today is a lousy day." This signals Mr. Defeat into
action, and he manufactures some facts to prove you are right. He suggests to
you that it's too hot or it's too cold, business will be bad today, sales will
drop, other people will be on edge, you may get sick. Mr. Defeat is
tremendously efficient. In just a few moments he's got you sold. It is a bad
day. Before you know it, it is a heck of a bad day. But tell yourself,
"Today is a fine day," and Mr. Triumph is signaled forward to act. He
tells you, "This is a wonderful day. The weather is refreshing. It's good
to be alive. Today you can catch up on some of your work." And then it is
a good day. In like fashion Mr. Defeat can show you why you can't sell Believe
YOU CAN SUCCEED AND YOU WILL ; Mr. Triumph will show you that you can. Mr.
Defeat will convince you that you will fail, while Mr. Triumph will demonstrate
why you will succeed. The only wise thing to do is fire Mr. Defeat. You don't
need him. You don't want him around telling you that you can't, you're not up
to it, you'll fail, and so on. Mr. Defeat won't help. you get where you want to
go, so boot him out. Use Mr. Triumph 100 percent of the time. When any thought
enters your mind, ask Mr. Triumph to go to work for you. He'll show you how you
can succeed.
