UNSTOPPABLE DEFIANCE
There is no way I can live my dreams, and at the same time, think and act like everyone else.
People who live their dreams take the road less traveled, and they don't care about what other people think.
What other people think about them is none of their buisness.
When the world says stop, they say go.
When the world says no, they say yes.
When the world says impossible, they say, "You haven't seen anything yet."
Doers of dreams have unstoppable defiance in spades.
My acts of defiance are different than those of most other people, and conformity has never been one of my vices.
My acts of defiance include the following:
1. Practicing medicine in developing countries.
2. Circumnavigating Planet Ocean in a sailboat.
3. Driving a Land Rover Defender around the world.
4. Creating a Positive Thinking Network that sends a positive message to 196 countries.
I had no interest in being rich or famous, and I didn't want to be like anyone else. To do what I wanted to do, my life was an act of unstoppable defiance. Conformity was never a part of my life.
I practiced medicine for 16 years in Saudi Arabia, five years in Puerto Rico, one year in the Panama Canal Zone, and ten years on Indian Reservations in the American Southwest.
I stopped practicing medicine when I was 47 years old, and I took my family on an eleven year circumnavigation on our catamaran - Exit Only.
I have driven Land Rover Defenders in America, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the Emirates, Oman, Australia, and New Zealand. I have driven my Toyota Land Cruiser in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
For the past 21 years I have sent a positive message around the world with hundreds of websites on the Positive Thinking Network changing the world one website at a time, one podcast at a time and one ebook at a time.
Scripture says, "Don't be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." That advice has been my guide for more than fifty years. Long ago, I said goodbye to conformity, and I renewed my mind with new thoughts and renewed my life with new actions.
I am in the eighth decade, and I remain unstoppably defiant, Conformity still has no place in my life.
For more than seventy years, I have been an unstoppable, consistently positive, endlessly persistent non-conformist, and that has made it possible to be a doer of dreams
Dr. Dave - Positive Thinking Doctor
Captain Ardell Lien is one of my heroes. At age 71, he completed a singlehanded circumnavigation in a 27 foot sailboat after undergoing a double organ transplant. He had a combined kidney and heart transplant, and after he recovered, he set sail on a Nor’sea 27 sailboat on a circumnavigation.
Jon Sanders did eleven solo circumnavigations completing his last circumnavigation at age 81. On his last sailing voyage, he collected water samples to detect microplastics in all of the southern oceans.
Marvin Creamer was 66 years old when he set out in his steel hulled 36 foot boat to perform a circumnavigation without using navigational instruments. He is proof that a GPS does not make you a navigator any more than a boat makes you a sailor.
Jeanne Socrates started serious ocean sailing at age 48, and at age 77, she completed a solo non-stop circumnavigation spending 339 days at sea. She sailed in a 39 foot sailboat south of all the great southern capes.
You don't need a brain transplant to get a new way of thinking and feeling. It's much cheaper and more effective to read Dr. Dave's eBooks and fill your mind with positive things.

More than 2000 years ago, Jesus talked about the quantum life. Everywhere he went he told people, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you." This simple statement reduces quantum life to its simplest terms. It's all about new beliefs that make it possible to leap to the next level.
People who change the world are not afraid. They have a sense of purpose that calms the storms of fear. World changers possess unstoppable, relentless tenacity that sends fear packing.
When fear controls your life, it stops you in your tracks. The instant you commit to your purpose and destiny, fear becomes a thing of the past because you know it's never over until God says it's over. It does not matter how strong the winds blow or how high the seas, you are not afraid. You have unstoppable, relentless tenacity.
Being unstoppable doesn't mean your life is easy and you always get your way. It simply means you always move forward. Sometimes the pace is fast and sometimes slow, but it's always forward.
Dr. Dave has written five books that you need to have in your mind. The five books together are called the Positive Life Series which is available on Amazon in kindle format. This is your opportunity to change the way you think and feel about who you are, and what you can do with your life. Isn't it about time that you had a positive life?
The Positive Green Planet is an awesome home, and we must do everything in our power to protect it. If we fail in our quest to preserve it, in the future we won't be complaining about the price of fuel to fill our gas tanks. Instead, we will be complaining about the high cost of filling the oxgen tanks that keep a few of us alive.
Jesus said, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to a mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Two-thousand years ago, nobody was moving mountains, and impossible was a concept understood by all. Even in the twenty-first century, telling people they can move mountains and that nothing is impossible is still an extremely large stretch.
Why would Jesus tell his disciples that nothing is impossible? Jesus was saying that the envelope of possibility is infintely large, and the likelihood of encountering absolute limits is infinitesimally small. He wanted them to understand that there are no limits. There are only limiting beliefs.
Never underestimate the power of a single thought.
A thought whose time has come changes your life, and it might even change the world. Here are some life changing ideas that you need to put into your mind. If you start believing once again, it won't be long before you are guilty of living your dreams.
Positive Podcasts can make a massive difference in your life. Simply plug in your ear buds and start filling your mind with positive things. A smart phone becomes a positive mind pump when you download positive podcasts and listen to them while walking, jogging, or riding in a car. Positive podcasts are the easiest and most effortless way of putting powerful positive ideas into your mind
Nothing can stop the self talk that flows endlessly through your mind. Any attempt to squelch the inner voice is doomed to failure. It's a gift that never stops giving. This voice is a blast from the past, and it's in replay mode during all your waking hours.
Although you can't stop the inner voice, you can influence it, and often you can control what it has to say.
You must know what to say when you mind talks to you, and know what to say when you talk to your mind.
The Positive Thinking Network has both secular and spiritual self talk that you can use to change your inner dialogue so it lifts you up and makes your life better.
What exactly is positive thinking and how does it work?
At the most basic level, positive thinking doesn't have anything to do with the content of your thoughts. It has a great deal to do with the way the brain operates. Your brain is an affirming machine that affirms the negative just as easily as the positive; it affirms the bad just as easily as the good. Your brain is positive about many things that are factually untrue. And when you are positive about the wrong things, your positive thinking actually gets you into trouble.
Rene Descartes penned the words, “I think, therefore I am.” This simple premise states the fact that my ability to think proves that I actually exist. Although I don’t have any doubts about my existence, the human mind could make a similar claim. “I affirm, therefore I am.” Part of what it means for the brain to exist is the power to affirm, and when you strip it of that power, you diminish it to a significant degree. It’s impossible to affirm anything positive when doubt, uncertainty, ambivalence, and fear cripple the mind.
The war for a positive mind is fought on the battle field of focus. If you want to win the battle against depression, you must control the focus of your mind.
Social media has become unsocial. It has degenerated into a truth optional war zone in which people take sides. They draw lines in the sand, and if you are on the wrong side of their line, then a battle begins.
Social media does not have to be that way. That's why Positive Social Media exists. It's a politics and hate-free zone. If you are tired of unsocial media, and if you want to have a positive social media experience, you are at the right place. A positive social media experience is just a click away.
