Affirm to Yourself

Here's the truth for you: If you can't believe it, you WON'T achieve it. Who else will believe in you if you don't even believe in yourself? Thoughts are things, like seeds. And what you think about grows. So try and keep your mind on what you want, and off of what you don't.

AFFIRM TO YOURSELF:

I am so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

I talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.

I make all my friends feel that there is something of value in them.

I look at the sunny side of everything and MAKE my optimism come true.

I think only the best, work only for the best, and I expect only the best.

I am just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

I FORGET the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

I wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile.

I give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others.

I am too large for worry, to noble for anger, to strong for fear, and too happy to permit presence of trouble. How about it? Do you want to achieve your aspirations? Or are you going to give up? If all you can see is losing...you will. 

My own life has turned out real different than I thought. It hasn't turned out how I hoped... nor dreamt. But I'm not the only man (or woman) to get screwed by life. Lots are worse off than me. That's life. You take the bad with the good. Rise up through it. Live in the midst of it. It's the bad that let's you know how good the good really is. Don't let the "bad" leave you thinking there isn't any good. There is, and lots of it, too.

If you care to, remember these verses below. They have certainly helped me along the way:

"We know that all things work together for GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28, KJV)

[Joseph told his brothers who sold him into Egyptian slavery:] "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for GOOD to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 50:20, NIV)

Be Encouraged,
