Brainwashing is pumping information into your brain over and over again, until you believe it is true. Regardless of the motivation behind it (good or evil), brainwashing works and is very effective. It will change your very belief system.
 
Losers brainwash themselves without knowing it. They read negative-bias news articles every day. They endlessly repeat negative phrases to themselves such as "I just can't win", "The little guy can't get a break", "It's the economy; I can't get ahead in this economy!", and other such drivel. 
 
Over time, they come to truly believe these ideas, at the core of their being. And for them, this then becomes true. When they believe things are hopeless, they quit trying. When they believe 'the system' is against them, they don't see opportunities around them. They are programmed for failure, and they have no idea they've done it to themselves. Not a fun way to live.
 
Winners, in contrast, brainwash for success.  
 
Winners start their day off on a positive foot. Some read a passage from the bible each morning for inspiration. I read a few pages from a book in my success library, putting me in a can-do frame of mind. 
 
During the commute to work, I brainwash myself for success by listening to audio programs. I feed my brain with positive, success-oriented ideas. I'll frequently listen to a Dave Ramsey podcast from the prior day. Sometimes I'll play 'the psychology of achievement' by Brian Tracy. I arrive at worked pumped up at what is possible.
 
At bedtime, I'll again read from my success library. When I put the book down and close my eyes, I'll drift off with thoughts of possibilities and success on my mind.
 
Can you see how, over time, that these losers vs. winners actions play a major part in how your life plays out? 
 
A cynic will reply "Oh sure, I'll just think positive and good things will happen to me, yeah right!"
 
To that I say, consider the following situations:
 
You consider starting an exercise program
negative person (np): "What's the point, most of America is obese, it's hopeless with all our fast food and busy lifestyle."
positively brainwashed guy (pbg): "I bet if I just do a little bit each day it will be easy, and really amount to big changes over time. "
 
You think about starting a business
np: "Most businesses fail in the first year, it's too risky. Sure I hate my job but it's secure." 
pbg: "Most businesses fail in the first year, so I better research all I can about this business before I start. I hate my job so I'll at least investigate this business; if it doesn't look good, I'll look into other business ideas as well."
 
The positively brainwashed see opportunities; the negatively brainwashed see roadblocks and problems. This perception difference has a huge impact on the direction your life takes!
 
Lastly, even if you don't believe in the slightest that positive brainwashing is effective, consider this: The negative person lives life in fear and negativity, while the positive lives in happiness and possibility. Wouldn't you rather live as the happy, positive person, even if your life is otherwise identical to that of the negative guy? I certainly would.
 
But your life as a positive person will not be the same as that of a negative person, it will be far better. So start brainwashing for success today !
