False Positive Thinking:

Some have discussed with me that they try to think positive but it makes no difference in their life or level of happiness. That is becuase they have fallen into the 'trap' of false positive thinking.

Let me explain. There are some people who are naturally positive thinkers. Positive thoughts are part of their unconscious thinking process. They have genuine self-respect and self-love and relish good feelings of success and fullfillment. They feel the deserve happiness. Because they have an inner sense of security they treat others well also. This is a very healthy type of optimism.

Then there are the false positive thinkers. They consciously repeat positive phrases in an attempt to mask or override the negative feelings inside. This only causes internal conflict and further distress in ones heart. The key is to genuiely like yourself more, have greater self respect and honor your desires. In this way, your unconscious thoughts will naturally become more positive. This change is not easy and will require some initial effort. But once it reaches the unconscious competence level it becomes second nature. Sort of like when you become an experienced driver, you no longer consciously think about what you are doing, you just do it almost unconsciously.
