With your new understanding of energetic vibrations, thought forms, and focus of attention, you should see clearly now why so much emphasis is placed on having a positive attitude positive beliefs. Positive beliefs create positive thought forms, which attract positive events and circumstances into your life.

I used to think having a positive attitude was something that each of us "should" have to be more acceptable. That may be true, but the real impact of being positive has to do with your state of being your vibrational state and what it will attract to you.

People who just pretend to have a positive attitude may be more acceptable, but they will still attract according to how they are really vibrating the energy they are emanating will attract their circumstances. So the message is clear. With your new insight into the fundamentals of thought, you'll want to start immediately making sure you're focused on being positive. Adopt the attitude that everything that happens in your life happens for a good reason. This will get you off to a great start.

In 1978 during a business trip to Chicago, I was snowed in for three days in O'Hare International Airport. There were several feet of snow on the ground and everything was at a standstill. During the second day, the restaurants began running out of food, stranded mothers were overwhelmed with crying children, and people were fed up with the whole situation, mostly from not knowing when it would end.

The range of attitudes that the situation evoked in people was amazing. I saw the worst and I saw the best. Some travelers were downright nasty, greedy, and could think of nothing but themselves. I wondered what they must have believed about their personal situations to be having such dreadful experiences. On the other hand, most of the people went out of their way to help others, especially those who had small children.

People's experiences of that situation were directly related to what they believed was happening. Next time you're involved in a trying situation, look around and see if you can think of what others might believe to be having the experiences they are having. It's also revealing to include your own experience. What beliefs might be creating your experience?

I learned a lot from my friend Maureen about positive attitude. She is primarily responsible for my starting to believe that "everything happens for a good reason." Her version is, "Everything happens for the best." I initially began adopting this attitude on faith, but, as I learned more about thought forms and energetic attraction, I could see its validity. It keeps you in a positive frame of mind, no matter what happens, so you can continue to emit positive energy and attract positive circumstances. Here's another true story.

For many years, I had been fortunate never to have had a flat tire or a breakdown on the highway. Such inconveniences always occurred where they could be easily handled. That changed about six months ago. I was on my way home from the office when the clutch in my sports car failed as I was pulling away from a stoplight. Luckily, no one was immediately behind me. My first thought was, "I wonder what the benefit of this is going to be."

After pushing the car to the side of the road, I walked across the street and called my auto club emergency number. Within thirty minutes the car was loaded on a flatbed truck and we were on our way. The driver dropped me off at my house and delivered the car to the Porsche garage, Team Stuttgart. I was amazed at how smoothly everything went.

The next day Dusty, my mechanic, called to tell me that a clip had come loose on the clutch cable-a very minor problem. He asked if I was still interested in selling the car. I said that I was. He then informed me that while my car was in the shop, a gentlemen had come in looking for advice on where to buy a good used Porsche. The gentleman liked my 912E, and Dusty hoped that it was OK to have given him my phone number. I sold the car to that same gentleman a week later. Did my clutch cable break for a good reason? I guess it depends on what you believe.
