Dear...
It seems like every conversation I have had with someone lately, they have brought up the terrible state of the economy. I’ve started many conversations this week with the sentence, "No negativity allowed." I refuse to accept the "ain’t it awful mentality" of the masses. I know I make my own reality and so do you. Let’s visualize a better tomorrow. Let’s know in our hearts everything is just fine…because it is. Lots of people in the world are in worse conditions and situations than we are.
While living in South Africa, I was fortunate enough to meet Nelson Mandela at a dinner at the Sowetan newspaper. After having a conversation with this man who became the President of South Africa, I bought his book, "A Long Walk to Freedom". I read it cover to cover in order to learn the details of his quest. In the book, he talked about creative visualization, which he referred to as his vision of the future. He wrote, "I never seriously considered the possibility that I would not emerge from prison one day. I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I could not give myself up to despair. I thought continually of the day when I would walk free. Over and over, I fantasized about what I would like to do." What did this man know that filled him with determined optimism not experienced by other men?
During my stay in South Africa, I had two opportunities to visit the cell at Robben Island where Mr. Mandela had been incarcerated for those 27 years. It was three paces wide and six long, with no bathroom facilities. There was just a pot in the corner and a tired, little cot on which to sleep. As I stood in that cell, I wondered if under those circumstances you and I could have chosen to believe that one day we would make the dream of freedom come true. I lived in South Africa throughout Mandela’s reign as President. I watched and experienced his vision of a peaceful transition become reality. A person with less vision would never have been able to make this happen for an entire country. Our circumstances are not as extreme as Mandela’s. Certainly, if he could imagine freedom for the people of a nation and have it come true, we should be able to imagine the successful future we desire.
Let’s change our conversation to be what we "can do" instead of what we "can’t." And let’s live by the doctrine - "No Negativity Allowed."
You are more than enough,
Judi
CHANGE YOUR HABITS TO ACHIEVE MORE SUCCESS
Success and failure are largely the result of habit, the automatic ways you respond and react to what’s going on around you. Changing habits which are no longer consistent with your purpose is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do, and one of the most essential to the quality of your life. Changing self-defeating habits must take priority. You are living today with habits you must discard if you are going to move forward. Remember, bad habits are easy to form, but hard to live with; good habits are hard to form, but easy to live with.
You can change your habits if you really want to. Your negative habits stand between you and success. Habits can be unlearned. You are today, in every respect, the result of your conditioning. Whatever thoughts or actions you repeat often enough become new habits. You can develop any habit you consider desirable or necessary. It is impossible to make a change in your life without destroying the compulsive hold this habit has on you.
Your ability to take control of your mind and begin thinking the kind of thoughts that lead to the outcomes you desire is the starting point of the process that leads to complete freedom, happiness and self-expression. In practicing our new habits, and as these new habits become stronger, we are less and less tempted by the old ones. Even so, we must remember that old habits are never destroyed for good. They are only submerged. For this reason, we must always be aware of our thoughts and actions and keep dominant thoughts operating constructively upon new habits.
Look at everything that comes into your life as a chance to change for the better. If you want to become as much as you’re capable of becoming, you must change your habits. You can change your habits and lead a more successful life, if you will stop relying on something outside of yourself and get in the habit of realizing that you have to work to get what you want. It is all up to you. The person you can be and what might have been will then become what is.
Winning Solution: Associate for Success
This week seek out and spend time with someone who is positive and successful. We pick up habits and ideas from the people with whom we associate. Afterward, write in your journal who you spent time with and how you feel about the experience. People who succeed put themselves in the company of other people who are striving to succeed. Successful people often present opportunities to people they know. The people with whom you associate should be people you can learn from, who are interesting and have a positive outlook toward life. Next, make a list of the people with whom you usually associate. Then beside their names, write down their most outstanding characteristic. Consider who you would like to emulate? Who is interesting? Who is negative or bad mouths others? Who complains a lot? Who makes things happen? Which ones are just getting by? Make a point to spend more time with the positive, successful ones.
Affirmation
