Что явля́ется разли́чием между положи́тельным и отрица́тельным мышле́нием, так э́то то, на чём мы фокусируемся. Когда мы ду́маем о прекра́сном или о наших ша́нсах э́то прекрасное дости́чь, то наши мы́сли сосредотачиваются на чём-то хоро́шем, поле́зном и положи́тельном. Чем больше мы сосредоточены на позити́вных мы́слях, тем больше краси́вых вещей мы создаём вокруг себя.
The difference between positive and negative thinking lies in what we focus on. When we think about beautiful things or about our chances of achieving something wonderful, our thoughts focus on something good, useful, and positive. The more we focus on positive thoughts, the more beautiful things we create around us.
