Recently, I have read and heard several newscasters make disparaging remarks about "Positive Thinking". Not only journalist speak derisively about this idea but present day theologians do too. But as one reads these contemporary writers, an important part of what was written in the 19th century material is missing. It was not just the idea that one should keep a positive thought in mind in order to see change in their lives, but that positive thought had to be filled with the emotion of great desire. Napoleon Hill called it a "burning desire" filled with faith, a sure belief that what was being held in mind was indeed something that would improve the life or situation of the person holding the thought. Many people think that they can wish for what they want and they will receive. Positive thinking must be backed by great desire and wrapped in a strong faith that informs the holder that without a doubt they will receive.
Is your thought wrapped in burning desire and held in strong faith?
