Eric Butterworth
Tools: Positive Thought
“When you discipline your mind to react to all changing circumstances with a projected positive thought, you bring into play your genius for good fortune.” Butterworth believed the greatest discovery we can make is the awareness that we are in control of our thoughts and we have the power to choose the kinds of thoughts we have.
Because “problems come from a negative or ‘no’ consciousness,” refusing to identify with negative thoughts empowers us to see the possible. “When you say ‘Yes’ to the creative flow within you, you begin to experience I-am-positive-I-can attitudes, which turn on the power and the skills needed to accomplish. When you believe you can do it, the how-to-do-it develops.”
