Beyond the Power of Positive Thinking
You are what you believe you are. Your power of your brain is much bigger than you can imagine. Your conscious mind is only responsible for 2-4% of your behavior. These are just are few of the concepts that John Assaraf, author of the book The Answer: Grow Any Business, Achieve Financial Freedom, and Live an Extraordinary Life preaches in his books, speeches and coaching sessions to help you make positive changes in your life.
John has gone from having a troubled life as a young man to running four multimillion-dollar businesses and becoming the author of a New York Times best-selling book. He attributes his success to the power of programming the subconscious brain through meditation, affirmations and visualization. John points out that it has only been in the last decade that we have made significant progress in understanding how the brain works, but now we know that many of the techniques that the fathers of personal development have taught us, specially around visualization and positive thinking can be backed by scientific evidence.
John teaches us that we all have to make a choice between two options in life: focus on the negative or focus on the positive. By focusing on the positive you will naturally attract positive things to your life: wealth, health, strong relationships, etc. No matter how many bad things happen to you, you have a choice on how your interpret those events. If you dwell on the negative side of life you will build a belief system that directs you towards the negative. On the other hand, if you focus on the positive and you will achieve success. Here is a quote from John that you must build into your belief system in order to make dramatic positive changes in your life:
Your past results do not represent what you are capable of achieving.
To learn more about these techniques you should read the book. But if you want a quick preview of what John Assaraf is all about, here is a glimpse of his interview with Larry King:
Success is within your reach. But in order to succeed you must reprogram your subconscious mind to build a set of new beliefs about who you are and what you can achieve. We hope John’s teachings will have a positive impact in your life that will lead to the success that you desire.
