      Positive Thinking - Wolfgang Riebe

      FOREWORD

      Welcome to this unique collection of 250 original quotes, reflections and thoughts to help you find direction and be more positive in life. During the last few years my travels have taken me to some of the world’s most exotic destinations where I have utilised the time to philosophise about, and question the meaning of life, at the same time writing down my thoughts. Even though I would like to believe these are all original quotations, out of billions of people on the planet I’m sure others have had similar thoughts - so if there are any similarities to other quotes out there, it is coincidence.

      This book is unique in that all motivational quotes, are accompanied by a photo, full description, plus numerous links to many of my 1 Minute Quick Tip videos where I delve deeper into their meaning.

      I believe one must walk one’s talk, and not simply do this for pure financial gain, but care for humanity and enjoy inspiring people. A few years ago I focused on creating 'positivity' where I started offering daily inspirational messages and videos to anyone that needed it. I have reached over 1000 daily quotes, pictures, videos and messages and will continue creating and sharing for the rest of my life.

      Visit www.wolfgangriebe.com for more daily quotes and inspiration. Don’t forget to visit my free inspirational & magical YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/inspiringtheworld where new videos are uploaded and produced every week.

      *****

      QUOTE 1

      When you look someone in the eyes, are you 100% present?

      When you look me in the eyes, make sure your eyes are speaking what your mind is thinking! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      Many people will look you in the eyes and lie to your face. With a bit of practice you can actually notice this as the eyes never lie. When the mind is in sink with the eyes, you automatically feel comfort and trust towards someone. When you don’t, just look into their eyes and you’ll see something is out of sink. Normally their eyes cannot hold your stare for a long period either.

      *****

      QUOTE 2

      If you judge others, think about this quotation...

      Each one of us is the resultant sum total of our own unique experiences, therefore we have no right to judge others who have not been part of our life path. (Wolfgang Riebe)

      Bear in mind that we don't all have the same experiences in life. We all experience life differently. Once you get this, only then can you learn to understand others better.

      *****

      QUOTE 3

      If you’re a baby boomer, you may find truth in this quote...

      I find that technology and videos curbs my fertile imagination. If this has happened to you, start reading books again and let your imagination run wild! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      As a child I had an extremely vivid imagination. As technology and movies have brought the fantasy world to real life, I have found my imagination lacking. Hence I started reading books again to allow my mind to create its own visual perceptions of the written word – what a difference! Try it and you will be amazed out how quickly your mind becomes fertile again!

      *****

      QUOTE 4

      Here's an added extra to the previous quotation...

      When last did you help someone without any expectation in return? Maybe that’s why the world is in chaos? Don’t you think we should become less materialistic, and more caring towards others again? (Wolfgang Riebe)

      Don't use your friends and loved ones... care for them! And for goodness sake stop loving material things! The memories you have one day when you are older will be all the emotional and loving relationships where you opened your heart to others. Think about it!

      *****

      QUOTE 5

      Here's something I had thought about for many years...

      People aren't against you, they are for themselves. Once you understand this, you can accept them for who they are! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      We always tend to think that someone else has an issue with us personally. Meanwhile the issues lie with them. Most of the time they just think of themselves and greed runs their life. Once you understand and accept that there are such people on this earth, you can understand where they are coming from, and you start feeling sorry for them.

      *****

      QUOTE 6

      Here's a powerful quotation...

      If you really want to experience life to the fullest, then you really have to follow your heart! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      Sadly, most people don't do what they want; and the answer to happiness is so simple. Make it your goal to start living! If you don’t know how... look into your heart and ask yourself, What is it that makes me tick?

      *****

      QUOTE 7

      Seeing that I shared a quotation on love yesterday, here's an added twist on that!

      We live in a world where we love things and we use people. Is it really so difficult to understand that this is humanity’s downfall? (Wolfgang Riebe)

      I live the latter part of the quote, Use things and NOT people! Maybe, for many people, their definition of love may change dramatically if they practiced this?

      *****

      QUOTE 8

      Sometimes we need to hear the hard truth...

      Whether you speak a lie, or the truth... after a while this becomes your reality. So why would you want to live a lie? (Wolfgang Riebe)

      People who lie constantly eventually believe their own lies... and lies don’t amount to anything except distrust, dishonesty and negativity. So my question is, why then don’t these same people rather speak the truth and aim for the positive in life? Logically this will eventually also become their reality! What is so difficult to grasp about this?

      *****

      QUOTE 9

      Here's another great quote to make you think...

      Success comes and goes, so does failure! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      We all strive for success and when we reach it, what a feeling. But staying on top is far more difficult that reaching the top. Hence life often consists of various successes that come and go. However, failure is exactly the same! It’s not permanent either - it also comes and goes. Once we understand this, then our fear of failure becomes less and we realise that we need to focus more on sustaining our success.

      *****

      QUOTE 10

      How are you living your life?

      I know life isn’t a rehearsal – hence I focus on experiencing the magic of life every single day! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      Learn to live in the NOW and make the most of every moment. There is no dress rehearsal! This is it! You cannot get back the time you have wasted - so start living to the fullest - NOW! Yes, life is magical, but only if you let the magic happen! Watch this 1 minute Quick Quote video link on looking to the future: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmU2QBR6Z0k

      *****

      QUOTE 11

      How much do you want your dreams to become reality?

      You should never fear trying new things, rather you should fear never having tried anything new at all! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      If you keep on doing what you have always done, nothing will change! Imagine one day in your old age reflecting on your life and regretting you never tried those things you always wanted to do. I fear that thought way more than the thought of trying something new and adventurous. Think about it!

      *****

      QUOTE 12

      How do you view life? Do you see the magic in everything that you do?

      Yes, life is magical, but only if you let the magic happen! (Wolfgang Riebe)

      Everything is a choice in life and everyone says that you have a choice of seeing the glass half full, or half empty. The reason they say this is because it’s true! If I look for the magic in my everyday dealings, activities, actions, people I
