Positive Affirmations

Positive affirmations are what separates the powerful, positive, energetic, joyful, successful people from the hordes of mediocre, average, or even miserable, unhappy every day people.

Positive affirmations are thoughts that you repeat to yourself. They repeat positive things that express a belief that you are a success, that you will succeed, that you will experience good things, good health, good relationships, and that good will always find you.

 

 

The little engine that could...

Sometimes the most important lessons in life are hidden in children's stories. There is a story called 'The Little Engine That Could'.

The plot of the story is simple... there is a long and important train that must be pulled over a high mountain...

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

- Cassius Clay

Various large and powerful engines are asked to pull the train but they all come up with excuses of different kinds... they refuse to pull the train.

As a last resort, the smallest, weakest engine that only pulled train cars on and off spurs and switches is asked to do the job -- up and over the mountain...

His affirmation response is:
"I think I can."

The little engine gets in front of the heavy train and starts his journey. At first things go well and the little engine keeps puffing away

"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, ..".

Eventually it gets to the high mountain that larger and stronger engines were afraid of -- that had discouraged them from even trying.

As the grade gets steeper the little engine begins to strain and struggle slowing down, but all the while it keeps puffing away...

"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, .."

Persistence

The little engine is persistent, determined, and has a huge desire to make the top of the mountain, to get his success ... with great courage the little engine makes it to the top.

All the way down the mountain and up to the end of the journey the little engine's affirmation changes...

"I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could."

Results

Positive affirmations will take you to the top of your mountain. If your mantra or excuse is "I can't" be sure that nothing will change -- nothing will be done.

To affirm "I think I can" or "I know I can" or "I will!" means that with persistence and an unwillingness to give up it will get done, it will happen, you can do it!

Positive affirmations will make a difference in your life -- a radical difference if you will take a chance and let them. You have nothing to lose and a lot of success to gain.

Do it today. Make up your mind to start affirming the things you want most in your life. See for yourself the difference it will make.

Go on -- I dare you.
