"Making things positive doesn't mean a sunny outlook; it means making the choice to see problems as opportunities. Every problem and difficult situation is embedded with a solution - the adventure lies in finding the solution." ~ Brahma Kumaris

Foreword

Human nature is universal, something we all share. But that doesn't mean human nature cannot further evolve; indeed it must, to meet the needs of Mankind's present situation, where a greater degree of peaceful cooperation, reform and justice is critical for our future survival and prosperity.

Each of us can evolve consciously by undertaking our own path of personal development, according to our individual needs, weaknesses and strengths. The information and resources of the Trans4mind.com website is designed specially to aid your personal growth, so you can better meet the challenges of life, at home and at work. To make a really good start, the Positive Approach Course covers a range of key personal development topics and most people will benefit from increasing their knowledge and abilities in these areas.

The key is to take what you learn and put it into practice in your daily life. To change the engrained habits of a lifetime, and even to change the nature programmed into your genes, is possible but it will take your determined application, over and over again, to reprogram your mind and transform yourself.

Why a "positive" approach?

Individuals tend to have a chronic emotional level; they go up and down in response to circumstances but soon return to the way of being that feels familiar to them, their habitual level.

Negative levels include being apathetic, depressed, fearful, angry, antagonistic, bored… that is the person's approach to life, and that is what they attract more of and what they see most of in the world around them: reasons to be afraid.

Positive levels include contentment, appreciation, enthusiasm, exhilaration and serenity: reasons to love. Coming from these places the world seems much brighter and more inviting, a great place to play the game of life.

A negative approach to life is based on fearful motivations, caused by many kinds of negative thinking; a positive approach is based on the motivation to create an inspiring vision, powered not by self-serving greed but by caring and loving service for the benefit of all.

The foundation for a positive approach is not just saying positive things and denying how you really feel. That doesn't work. A genuine positive approach is based on truthfulness and self-knowledge. It is based on self-respect and integrity, liking and being true to one's self - one's real self, not a version designed to appease or manipulate others, or to hide away from the challenges of life.

This course is built on the foundation of Positive Psychology, the study of happiness and what makes life most worth living. Psychology has traditionally focused on dysfunction—people with mental illness or disabling emotional trauma—and how to treat it. Positive psychology, in contrast, is a field that examines how ordinary people can make their lives better, to develop the skills they need to become happier and more fulfilled. It's the subject of personal development.

This free online personal development course is designed to help you achieve a more positive approach to your life so that you are better positioned both to realize and to manifest your full potential.

Remember, the guide on your path is your own true inner nature, your connection with the universal, and that is LOVE. Love is unconditional acceptance. At all times ask yourself, "Am I doing / thinking / saying this in love?" and you will not go far wrong.

"Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning, of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts." ~ Marianne Williamson
