Fairy Reminder


How we think about ourselves has an impact on what we do. If we decide that we are less of a person because we have an illness/handicap or problems in our lives, then we may not fulfill our potential. If we decide to let these things consume our every thought and action for the rest of our lives, then they probably will. If we decide that we will always be a victim and our life will bring us nothing but misfortune, then our life may just turn out that way.

On the other hand, if we begin to believe positive things about ourselves, eventually our outlook on life will become positive as well. When we believe that we are lovable, that we can cope with our illnesses/circumstances, and that we are no less of a person because of it/them, then this is what shall be. We can change who we are by changing who we believe ourselves to be.

Today, do I remind myself of my abilities, my choices, and my opportunities?

Thought for the Day

I'm a firm believer in positive thinking....'I CAN and WILL do it'...always gets you much further than 'I don't think I'm able'
