13. The Inner Voice
The voice of God or other heavenly agents offering
human beings suggestions for understanding and for
action. When people think of the still small voice, they
imagine hearing verbal instructions -- WORDS. That's
possible, but God excels at non-verbal communication:
URGES, inner swellings, rising energies in the body.
Those waves of feeling don't just point you in the right
direction, they also provide the right kind of energy to
move WITH, the extra vibrancy needed to do the work.
When you hop to and deliver this energy while it's hot --
while the impulse is still burning in you -- you easily
create the miracle that needs to occur.

September 13th is celebrated as the
Positive Thinking Day across the world.
Epictetus, a Greek stoic philospher from
the first century said, The things that
upsets people is not so much what
happens, but what they think about what
happens. Studies over the years have
shown that constant negative thoughts can
see us down and supressed and most
generally may also lead us to failure.

20. Ten Traits Of Positive
Thinking
1. Optimism- Do you have a belief in and expectation of
positive outcomes, even in the face of difficulty, challenge,
or crisis? Being optimistic is a choice. You can choose to be
a victim or a victor regardless of what life puts in your path.
2. Enthusiasm-Are your levels of positive energy, passion,
and personal motivation consistency high? A smile and a
controlled rush can show that you expect good things to
come your way. Are you always striving to add value to
others? Enthusiasm can also be considered charisma.
2/17/2013 Nitish Kumar 20
21. 3. Belief- Do you always trust in yourself, others, and God
to provide support and guidance when needed? Mary Kay
Ash said, "Expect great things and great things will happen!"
I have always found that to be true.
4. Integrity- Do you have a personal commitment to honesty,
openness, and fairness, always living by and for your
consistent ethical standards? It's what you do when nobody
is watching that will show your true character.
5. Courage- How willing are you to take risks and overcome
fears, even when the outcome is uncertain? Courage is not
the absence of fear, but the willingness to go forward even
when you feel the fear.
2/17/2013 Nitish Kumar 21
22. 6. Confidence- Are you personally assured of your abilities,
capabilities and full potential? Every person is unique, like a
snowflake. There is no other person exactly like you- even if
you are a twin. Discover what makes you unique and use it
wisely.
7. Determination-Do you exhibit a tireless pursuit of a goal,
purpose or cause? This can be a positive trait as well as a
negative one. The ability to continue when the challenges of
life get in your way will take you farther than you can
imagine. Even setbacks and failures are stumbling blocks,
character building experiences and opportunities for growth.
2/17/2013 Nitish Kumar 22
23. 8. Patience-Have you developed the willingness to wait for
opportunity, readiness, or results from oneself or others.? I
don't believe that anyone is born with patience. It is
something that you can learn. A determined person will
create their own patience.
9. Calmness- Do you maintain serenity and seek balance
daily in response to difficulty, challenge or crisis; taking
time to reflect and think? What do you put your faith in? A
faith and trust in God will give you peace regardless of your
circumstances
10. Focus- Is your attention directed through the setting of
goals and priorities? This is so important. Follow One
Course Until Successful. Keeping it simple and focused
frees your time from unnecessary tasks.
