Thursday, Friday Saturday, January 27, 28 29 'RED At Your WHITE RED WHITE FOOD STORE FOOD STORES In Mendenhall 3 PACKAGE HAMBURGER MEAT The American Way By Harry Browne Editor Freedom Magazine What is Positive Thinking? Much has been written and said about the "power of posttive thinking" which, simplified, means that one must expect the best in order to get it. While it is certainly true that one's mental outlook will color his method of expression, it is also true that most declarations of the doctrine of "positive thinking" far overstep the bounds of reality. The overstepping takes place in forgetting that each individual controls only himself.

If I "think positively" when I arise in the morning, I may very well express a cheerfulness and optimism that will make people enjoy being around me during the day. But if my "positive thinking" intrudes into the realm of believing that I will sell John Jones a certain item today, or that my business associates will have more confidence in me today, or that the stock market will go up today in each of these cases I am trying to think positively about something over which I have no control. For John Jones has his own life just as fully as I do. He has his own plans and aspirations just as intensely sought after as I do. He will buy my products today only if what I sell fits into his plans, and if I'm capable of communicating that applicability to him.

To expect that my thoughts will change his plans and ambitions is to live in a dream world. Actually it is a dream world of total chaos where nothing is firm -where everyone's thoughts and actions are subject to the whims of other individuals' positive or negative thoughts. And, in the same way, my business associates have their own lives. They will react favorably to me only as I offer them something of myself that will enhance their own plans and ambitions. And it goes without saying that the action of the stock market will be the result of the mental attitudes of literally millions of individuals today rather than my positive or negative attitude.

So does it matter what one's mental outlook is? of course. As mentioned before, one's method of expression, his personality, his desirability as a companion or associate will be colored by his mental attitude. People, in general, do not like to be around other people who are gloomy, hostile, or uncooperative. So the proper attitude has its positive results but not because "thinking makes it but because of the actions one takes as a result of his attitude. But there is a limit to this.

For, once again, we must recognize that you only control yourself. If your attitude is positive, your manner direct and courteous, your mood cooperative but still the other individual does not respond that is his business. You can't make him want what you have to offer. And even if it seems that he should want for his own good what you're offering, if he fails to see it, that's his problem. Each of us has one life to live all his own.

He does not control the actions or thoughts of any other individual. The only area for improvement is self improvement, for the only person one controls is himself. Therefore, your mental attitude will have an effect upon your actions. But the worst mistake an individual can make is to believe he is responsible for the actions of others.

D. D. Rittenhouse "MIGRAINE Migraine headaches or "Sick Headaches" are characterized usually by severe pain (usually on one side only). The pain: is usually due to the enlargement of the blood vessels, the function of which are controlled by small nerves. The underlying CAUSE of the enlarged vessels is pressure on these small nerves causing irritation, with the result that messages from the brain to the blood vessels are wrongly interpreted, therefore, their natural fanction is impaired.

With specific Chiropractic Adjustments this irritation is removed easily and painlessly so that normal function can be restored by nature from within.
