You’ve heard it before.

Just think positive thoughts.

That’ll solve all your problems, right?

I used to think that myself until I learned the cold, hard truth.

Positive thinking is a trap…

Unless you really believe it.

See, the mistake most people make when thinking positive thoughts…

They don’t actually believe what they’re saying.

They tell themselves they’re going to find the perfect partner.

Or get the raise they’ve been longing for.

Or finally catch the big break that’ll change their life forever.

But deep down, what they feel is that they’re unworthy or undeserving of it.

There’s a disconnect.

A break.

A chasm they’re unable to cross.

Their thoughts are telling them one thing…

But their feelings are telling them something entirely different.

Can you see the problem here?

If not, then here it is:

Positive thinking is useless unless you actually believe it.

And not only BELIEVE IT…

But also FEEL IT, too.

That’s how you get positive thinking on your side.

So the next time you decide to think positive thoughts…

Ask yourself:

“Do I BELIEVE what I’m thinking? And deep down, do I FEEL it to be true?”

If the answer is no, then it’s not your thoughts you need to work on…

It’s your belief in yourself…

And a KNOWING that you deserve it.

Morning person? Night owl?

Either way, there’s an untapped fortune lying hidden in your schedule. If you’re finally ready to discover it, click right here and I’ll show you how.
