Can positive thinking make you a better sales professional?
Absolutely! A positive
thinker is a person who always looks for the best in him/herself, all people,
and in all situations. Thus, the
positive thinker brings out the best in him/herself, all people, and in all
situations.
The law of attraction says, “Like attracts like.”
If we look for the best then we’ll find the best and bring that into our
lives. But by the same law of
attraction if we look for the worst then we’ll find that and bring it into our
lives. You see, it was Dr. Norman
Vincent Peale, the modern father of positive thinking, who said, “Any fact
facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our
success or failure.”
So, there are two choices we have for the direction of our lives.
We can choose the positive path or we can choose the negative path.
The choice is ours. Let me
share with you the story of two little boys who chose opposite paths.
One of the boys was a negative thinker while the other was a positive
thinker. On one particular
Christmas, their father decided to perform an experiment with his sons.
The custom in this family was that one boy would find his present on one
side of the Christmas tree and the other boy would find his on the other side.
The negative thinking boy found his present and it was a brand new, shiny bike.
The boy said, “I don’t want it.
It is too dangerous. I just
know I will crash and hurt myself.”
Meanwhile, his positive thinking brother found his present which was a simple
box of manure. A smile came over
the boy’s face. He looked at his
parents and said excitedly, “Mom, Dad, you are so good to me.
This is the best present ever - A PONY!”
Be a positive thinker, look for the best, and close more sales.
