10 Below The Line Thinking Living Below the Line is a Flow Stopper. Once Below the Line Thinking takes hold in our lives, our thinking becomes conditioned and boxed in. We think and act negatively towards everything. It makes us defensive, full of resentment and irrational. Negative Thinkers see everything as a problem.

11 Below The Line Thinking Negative Stress: Distorted thinking is the culprit Pessimism: Subtle disease that spreads quickly Apathy: Person has no future pull; almost stuck Agony: Anger, anxiety, and fear impacts others

12 THINKING BEYOND THE BREAK-THROUGH LINE STATE OF FLOW Wisdom, Reverence & Synchronicity HAPPINESS CREATIVE PERSPECTIVE BREAK-THROUGH LINE For Meaningful Life No Matter the Circumstances Joy, Passion, Gratification, Pleasure, Satisfaction, Positive Energy In Life, Family & Job -- Patience, Connecting, Trust, Openness, Commitment NEGATIVE STRESS Pressure, Uneasiness, Worry, Nervousness, Hesitation PESSIMISM APATHY Moaning, Complaining, Finding Fault, Sarcasm, Abusive Language, Self-Pity, Uncertainty, Doubt, Negativity, Unhappiness, Suspicion Start of Depression, Indifference, Avoidance, No Energy AGONY Anger, Pain, Torment, Anguish, Distress, Angst, Troubled

13 Thinking Beyond The Break- Through Line How you are thinking creates your reality Negativity is a habit The average person has ± 55 negative thoughts per day Solution: Change language to yourself and others!

14 Thinking Above the Line Above the Line Thinkers know: Thinking does not depend on your circumstances it is your choice. Positive Thinkers use opportunity thinking; Negative Thinkers see everything as a problem. Blaming others and your circumstance for your discontent is giving up freedom of choice, it is being controlled, instead of being in control.

15 Thinking Beyond The Break- Through Line Passion is caught not taught Are people catching your passion? Is the whole package consistent (words, actions, behaviors)? Who or What are your Passion killers? Nobody can make you angry. You make the choice. Are you a stimulus in other people s lives? Is it Positive or Negative? Are you a Flow Stopper?

20 Know & Live like You are a Winner! The Winner is always a part of the answer. The Loser is always a part of the problem. The Winner always has a program. The Loser always has an excuse. The Winner says Let me do it for you. The Loser says That s not my job.

21 Know & Live like You are a Winner! The Winner sees an answer for every problem. The Loser sees a problem in every answer. The Winner sees a green near every sand trap. The Loser sees two or three sand traps near every green. The Winner says It may be difficult but it s possible. The Loser says It may be possible but it s too difficult.
