Inner Self Talk

Never underestimate the power of your own mind to affect the outer reality of your own life and even the events in the world. Learn to resist the temptation to focus on a negative situation you might be going through and project negativity for the future.

Think of how you would like for things to be. Imagine living in the reality of those images. Beleive that it is possible. Don’t worry about how it going to come about. Find something beautiful to think about and be thankful for it’s existence.  Thank God that you are still alive and have hope that wonderful things are in your future. The best is yet to come.
