The Power of Positive Thinking

Needed something for the road trip, perfect timing!

Needed this brothers! Thank you for all that you do.

Awesome timing bored at work. Just remember the quote from Milton's book Paradise Lost, "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..."

Thank you! Loved the point of view of how can we be negative living in such abundance? We have First World problems… I know it’s a sensitive subject, but when your biggest dilemma of the day is to decide what gender you are today? And not, will I be eaten by a Sabertooth tiger? A bit hyperbolic, but total success of a society does have negative effects at times. My Dad always used to say, “It could be worse, it could be raining.”😂

You have to have a discipline of being able to stay positive: Francis Scott wrote during the civil war that "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. for example, seeing a situation as chaotic and hopeless, yet you are determined to make it otherwise".

Basic Psych stuff. Thanks Patmac and CJ. 🤙

My old man used to say he’s not a problem guy, he’s a solution guy.

As a therapist, I tell my patients all the time that they need to reframe their thoughts and focus on positivity, and like Mac says “an attitude of gratitude”. That being said, I usually quickly follow that up with “don’t blow smoke up your own ass” and give yourself accomplishments that you can do on the regular so you have something to truly be proud of.

Trials and tribulations are mandatory, suffering is not

Amazing

Rock solid bro, good job! Excellent video start to finish. 🤙
👍👍

Love ya pat Mac God bless the USA take care!😎 rock and roll 🙏

Right on! This was solid gold.
Here we call "problems" opportunities.
When my sons come to me with a situation I ask them what do I tell you to say out loud? They then say back, " What can I do to improve my situation?"
I like that it restructures their thought process and puts them in a positive solving space rather than becoming Debbie downers. Stay safe !

Good stuff. Thank you

Powerful Basic Dude Stuff!!! Thanks.

Awesome message. Thx so much.

Having one of those dark days right now, needed some Pat Mac and CJ to get me on my feet. Hope you all realize how much this info means to some of us

Hey fellas, great free 1 hour discussion. "Undue haste makes waste", reminds me of "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Lots of good memories from 80's & 90's growing pains. My Dad was a dyed in the wool optimist. He always repeated to me back then the acronym; P.M.A. Positive Mental Attitude. To always carry one with me. It has been invaluable to me in rough stretches.
P.S. I'm waiting for some of those badass Gitchusum bands to be available. Muscle up buttercups!💪

Great conversation guys👍🙏

Help me please

Pat is a loser.

What's going on is your area rn bro? I know you're in NC.

Totally need this.

Being a not ugly person that stands out from others and have dealt with depression for the majority of my life. It is very uncomfortable to meet strangers that assume that I am a certain type of person and are very curious of me when they have spent no or very little time with me. Recently I have been setting boundaries with people that don't respect me. It has made me realize others have done the same with me. I belive I will eventually enjoy what I do and who I spend my energy on. 🤘🏻 China White
