INTRODUCTION I wrote the book The Secret of Positive Thinking with the intention of helping us overcome all our challenges in life, improve our health and gain an unstoppable flow of energy. All my life I have been trying to practice positive thinking, especially when working with people in direct sales which has been my line of business for the last twenty years. All the thoughts and claims that you will read in this book have been verified in person by myself during my most difficult moments which caught up with me some years ago. I overcame those moments through faith, trust and positive thinking, and began to build my life all over again. Today my life is filled with joy and pleasure.

Nowadays many people experience defeat when facing daily obstacles in life. We must learn to think in a positive way and to embed positive thought patterns into our lives. If we learn to think in a positive manner, we can raise ourselves above the obstacles and begin to live a happy and pleasing life. I tend to think of this book as of an ENERGY MANUAL which is action-orientated and designed for personal improvement. By applying the thoughts of this book you may experience better health and a new satisfaction in life. I sincerely hope that this book will teach the reader to think positively and bring them health, success and better human relations. Andrej MlinĹĄek

SOME ADVICE FOR POSITIVE THINKING Positive and optimistic thinking is the foundation to a successful life. A positive approach in life has helped millions of people to take control of their lives, to realize their potential and to achieve the goals they have set themselves. The principles which you are about to find in this book are both practical and proven; the more we practice them, the better we can understand and apply them. Positive thinking is a process through which we can begin to improve our life.

OPTIMISM Optimism gives us strength. Optimism means looking at the world from a different perspective. We focus to be productive and to believe that we can change the difficult and challenging situations in life. Optimism is the moving force of life. Optimism originates from the Latin word OPTIMUS which means “the best�. An optimistic person is always looking for the best in every situation and always expects good things to happen. Some people see things as they are; others see them as they could be.
17
POSITIVE APPROACH 1. Our mind can only think in one way this should be positive and constructive. 2. Always look for the best in people and ideas. 3. Always be alert to the positive thinking you can apply in your life. 4. Do not discuss your problems. 5. Radiate a positive thinking personality of a person who knows his way. Positive things will happen. 6. Treat everyone you know as if he was the most important person in the world, as they probably want to feel as such.
THINKING IN A POSITIVE WAY IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IN LIFE.

POSITIVE THINKING IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Talk to people. A friendly dialogue with people is always the best thing. Laugh a lot. 72 muscles are needed for a grim face and only 14 for laughter. Call people by their names. The best music for one`s ears is the sound of one’s own name. Be kind and helpful. Be kind to your friends. Take interest in all people. You can love everyone if only you try.

YOU DO BEST FOR YOURSELF, WHEN YOU DO GOOD TO OTHERS.
Ungratefulness is a natural thing, like weeds are. Gratitude is like a rose, it needs to be fed, watered, loved and cultivated. GRATITUDE IS THE FRUIT OF MANNERS.
Wise people do not want to be angry. My experience confirms again and again how important it is to design a prudent plan.
A HEALTHY VIEW OF THE WORLD, MUSIC AND LAUGHTER ARE BEST FOR RELAXING AND REFRESHING THE BODY Andrej Mlinšek

LOVE OF BOOKS ‌is our legacy in life at writing the wishes and satisfactions given to us by GOD! The love of books is with us even when all other pleasures pass away. It will last until our death. The love of books will bring us joy as long as we live. A book can render love to humanity. A book is a reflection of its author, of his creativity, of his knowledge and thinking. Books enlighten the reader with a new understanding about the functioning of the world that surrounds him. We can discover the truth about humanity in books.

Positive thinking enables us to be relaxed and take hold of an opportunity when it arises. Self-confident people wake up in the morning full of excitement and with expectations of a great future. In their mind they stick to their goals and are focused on their implementation. They have a plan of how to achieve them. A self-motivated person faces life every day with self-confidence and faith. A self-confident person knows his negatives and positives. He always changes the negatives into positives. A self-confident person does not waste time; he rather devotes each moment to what is important for his goals. Positive thinking and devotion have a lot in common.

POSITIVE EMOTIONS Positive emotions create positive feelings which attract a positive experience. When you are in a positive state of mind, a whole new world will open to you. I enjoy positive thinking and a positive attitude. How do you want to feel? Your passion will win the day. Positive people inspire others. LOVE, JOY, GRATITUDE!
TRUST,
HAPPINESS,
Did you know that positive emotions create growth and new life in the nervous system? People blossom when they are praised, everyone yearns for acknowledgement.

The world is full of inspired, enthusiastic and inward orientated individuals who possess enough of the overcoming spirit necessary to develop positive thinking. Through a deep, inner belief we can create until we overcome all problems.
THE SECRET IS: PERSIST AND THINK POSITIVELY. Andrej MlinĹĄek
If we choose persistent belief and confirmation we can fill ourselves with great power. A long-term renewing of momentum and inspiration demands a permanent inflow of energy, motivation and training of controlled and orientated mind processes!

THE SMILE A smile always opens the secret door. The Chinese say that a shop must always be opened by a smiling person. Smile and gratitude are the only ways in life. Smile because life is beautiful. A smile is the best thing you can wear in the morning. The best cure for your body is your smile. A smile tells you that you are stronger today than you were yesterday. Every time you smile I smile as well. The smile is the light in your soul.

Do not forget about meditation, therein lays all the power. Only those who stand up succeed in this world. We must always choose only encouraging words. We must train our will and persistence and try to find peace of mind. That is when our spirit is calm and relaxed and enables us to think. A problem solving procedure is always at work deep in the sub-conscience. Through meditation we can evoke the divine power which includes all the wisdom a person needs to solve problems 121
