Empower Yourself with Positive Thoughts

December 26th, 2008 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 424 Comments »

Your thoughts can either empower you or drain your strength. If you think defeating thoughts such as “I will never be able to do this” or “My problems are more than I can handle”, it will rob you of the strength you need to be victorious. Determine you will bloom where you are planted regardless of the present circumstances. Remind yourself that you grow more during the difficult times than the pleasant times. Sure it is uncomfortable, sometimes even miserable, but take heart that all seasons change and how you endure hardship will shape your character and equip you for greater challenges in the future. Be a warrior and decide to fight adversity with the confidence you will succeed.

So the message is, once again, focus on empowering thoughts because they really do carry the energy you need to not only endure but to be victorious. When a depressing thought pasts your mind, resist it and it will leave. It is much like a dieter who says no to the thought of wrong eating patterns or the alcoholic who says no to the drink

Just Say “NO” to negative self defeating thought. Resist it, and replace it with a positive thought. Your angels will thank you for it!
