Welcome to the second in our series of how to go beyond the power of positive thinking and use it to change your life. Since last week's show was such a success, we decided to dive right back into the topic tonight with a different set of guests. They'll tell us how we can use the power of your imagination and mind to create what we want in our lives and how science supports it. Our guests are Jack Canfield, the famed originator of the chicken soup for the soul series of books. It sold over 100 million copies. Jack was one of the earliest champions of peak performance and he's the co author of Dare to the power of focus and his latest, the success how to get from where you are to where you want to be. Jack, do you. Do we create our own positive negatives?
I do believe that. I think we're constantly creating whatever comes into our life. And if you focus on what you want, as he's. As Joe said earlier, you get what you want. If you focus on what you don't want, you get more of that. And we often think we're focusing on something like saying, I don't want to be overweight anymore, but what we're focusing on is overweight anymore. So we have to state it in a more positive way. And when we do that, what happens is our mind and our emotions follow our thoughts, and then our behaviors follow our emotions. I choose to make myself happy. Abraham Lincoln said back in 1865, Happiness is a choice. And the fact is, it really is.
