watch it dissolve.\u00a0 When you shine the light of awareness and truth on fear, it becomes clear fear is false evidence appearing real.\u00a0 The power of positive thinking overwhelms and destroys fear and negativity.\u00a0 It\u00a0requires just as much energy to be negative as it does to be positive, yet the consistent long term results are very different.\u00a0 Which do you choose now?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';color: navy\">Creating a strong pattern of positive thinking creates an empowered life and success.\u00a0 If you use that same energy in a negative direction the results are destructive.\u00a0 Either way, you have to expend the same amount of energy.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t it make more sense to be positive and create the life you want and deserve?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';color: navy\">Do you want to transform a negative pattern or fear?\u00a0 Consistent focus on a new, positive thought, pattern or behavior for 20 days will replace the old one.\u00a0 Positive self talk is also very important and powerful in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';color: navy\">Scientists have discovered that over 95% of all negative thoughts and fears do not happen.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'\">\u00a0 <span
