If you believe you can…you will. Positivity takes some focus, but the rewards are magnificent. Its far better to go through life with a sense of hope and optimism, than it is to be mired in negativity. Read on to learn why.
Norman Vincent Peale, the author of “The Power of Positive Thinking,” once said: “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” And he was absolutely correct.
There are some things that we can tell ourselves every day that will help us to focus on achieving our life goals and aspirations. Each one should be something we remind ourselves of, because it will become habit after a while and that ‘second nature,’ will then help to keep us on track:
8 Powerful Things to Always Remember
1. Believe in Yourself: Have confidence in your abilities and your personal will to achieve your goals, and you will achieve them.
2. Be Strong: Focus on the positive, believe and dream and set a picture in your mind of actually achieving your life’s dreams.
3. Work Hard: If you want it, make it happen through sheer will and determination.
4. Never Give Up: Setbacks will happen, but so will progress – stay the course and try, try again. You’ll get there.
5. Be Humble: Attitude matters and arrogance is a blatant negative. Be humble and stay focused.
6. Be Grateful: Others will help you along the path of life’s journey – always appreciate what and who you have to be thankful for.
7. Be Kind: Kindness matters always. Be gentle with others and with yourself.
8. Keep Smiling: Smiling is a powerful mood booster and it makes people more willing to help and support you. Smile and be as positive as you can, each and every day.
To quote Norman Vincent Peale again: “Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.”
Each day, remember that you are vitally important and eminently capable. Focus and stay positive and you will find that life can be an absolute joy.
