What Do You Think of Yourself?

"If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't you're right."

When I first heard this, I had no clue what this meant, but now I fully understand.

Your thoughts are SO powerful. You hear a lot about this in spiritual or metaphysical circles, that have nothing to do with religion, but has so much to do with our inner spirits and well-being.

I listened to this audio book last week written by Jerry & Esther Hicks, for which I've been listening to over the last week actually and at one point in the program, the reader says "...you are free, you are powerful, you are good, you are love, you have value, you have purpose and all is well."

When I heard this, something inside me wanted to hear it again. It literally gave me goosebumps. How many times have people spoken these words to you? Now don't get me wrong...it's not that I've ever had anything negative said to me by my family of supporters, but never have I had something so profound said to me that literally touched me in a way I can't explain. I thought to myself, what a wonderful and powerful way to describe yourself to someone. What a wonderful way to think of yourself. I smiled the rest of the day, when I first heard it and to this day, still smile because it just makes me feel good to hear it.

No one can really change the way we think of ourselves, we are the only ones that can change anything in our lives. It is our beliefs that shape the changes we make. Feeling good about yourself, feeling good about your life only brings and creates more of that good feeling and that's what's most important to you. Like attracts like, it's a universal law.

Just a short quick note to remind you to re-evaluate your feelings about your life, your circumstances and what you think about for your future. Where you are currently does not have to reflect where you want to be, so don't dwell on your current circumstances unless they truly make you feel good and reflect your ideal and perfect situations. That's the power of your mind. That's how powerful we truly are. Believe this and you will always get what you want. What makes that statement even more powerful for me is to substitute the words, "I am" in place of the words "you are"; "I am free, I am powerful, I am good, I am love, I have value, I have purpose and all is well. See how that moves you. Trust me, when you learn to say it with the utmost confidence and good feelings, I promise you, it will make you feel GREAT!

So, what do YOU think of yourself? If it's anything less than what I described above, then you should re-think your decision to feel that way.

Have a wonderful, productive and prosperous day!
