Changing thoughts can change your life,
Most of the opportunities that we have in life are over looked because we are waiting for something to happen. Speculation and wishful thinking rule our minds. It is good to have visions and dreams, but these need to be acted on and converted into reality. The ‘if only’, ‘should have’ and ‘would have’ statements are only excuses for not being able to achieve something. They do no take us in any direction other than self pity. Self pity is the biggest hurdle to positive action. To live a successful life we need to work on our thought life, direct our thoughts in the right direction and program our mind for success.

You have to Eliminate negative thoughts and replace it with positive thoughts. You need to take at all negative thoughts about yourself and deal with them in the right way. Negative thoughts always work against you. A negative statement labels you as ‘no good’, leaving you with no hope or means of improving yourself.

Engaging in negative thoughts and working hard to succeed is like having your cell phone switched off and trying to remain connected. You have to find out your strengths and focus on them, gain more knowledge in the areas where you are weak. This puts you in a position to change the way you look at your potential.

Change your attitudes, as your thoughts are set right your attitudes change. Your fierce dislikes and tough stances are now being modified and changed. You learn to view failure as a means to grow. Your irrational fears are addressed and you look at circumstance that you face as opportunities to explore. Your fear of the unknown is now eroded and you are up to taking a challenge.

There is one more thing that needs to be handled. Don't discount the positive side of life. Persistence pays. Work hard at taking charge over your thought life. Never give up.
