A now former member of our Eagles community shared an experience where his "optimism" nearly set him up for a scam. It has been revealed to him that a positive mindset is dangerous and he wants no part of it. Clearly, I'm willing to risk what my optimistic thinking leads me to.

Questions:

1. Does positive thinking make you more vulnerable to being taken advantage of?
2. What should you do if you’ve failed to reach a goal?
3. What’s your best next action if you’ve been fired from a job?
4. What are some steps to increase your positive thinking?

Seven Steps for Increasing your Positive Thinking

1. Control what you think about - what you allow into your mind
2. Spend time with people who are already performing at the level at which you want to perform
3. Eliminate “excusitis” from your speech
4. Stretch your vision to see what can be; not what is
5. Set goals that excite and inspire you
6. Invest in yourself - in ways that build your mental and spiritual power
7. Don’t wait for perfect conditions - anticipate obstacles and solve them as they arise
