Dr. Joyce Brothers is known for this powerful quote, “Success is a state of mind. If you want more success start thinking of yourself as a success.” Another great quote comes from the fun and creative Dr. Seuss books, “You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose!” ~ Dr. Seuss
These quotes might start you thinking about your own success. I believe that success is an ‘inside job’ and our present results are the outer reflection of our belief system. Many people seeking success think if they just do more, work harder it will propel them to higher levels of success but working harder is not the key to reaching your dreams. Yes, action-steps are vital in pursuit of goal achievement but before taking action, first you need to change your thinking from limiting beliefs to confident expectation.
Change starts with becoming aware of what you are thinking and taking the time to listen to your internal voice.
Interrupting the on-going chatter (in your mind) of limiting beliefs. Saying, “STOP” to those internal messages and then replacing them with positive comments and through repetition you can reprogram your thinking. From Limiting to Expansive … From Frustration to Hopeful … From Small Thinking to Audacious Possibilities. What you think about you do bring about!!!
I have put together a list I will call The ABC’s of Success. A list of Positive Thoughts to Ponder. One for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet …. This week’s blog message will list A through M and next week’s blog will list N – Z.
