English heart surgeon Martyn Lloyd-Jones asserted, "Most unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself rather than talking to yourself." What kind of voices do you hear? When you face new experiences, does a voice in your head say you're going to fail? If you're hearing negative messages, you need to learn to give yourself positive mental pep talks.

We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Act as if everything you desire is already here...treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to become.

Thought, backed by strong desire, has a tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent.

The subconscious acts first on the dominating desires.

Thoughts lead to acts, acts lead to habits, habits lead to character - and our character will determine our eternal destiny.

All evils to which so many become addicted begin in the mind and in the way one thinks.

What people believe is more important than how they look, what their skills are, or their degree of passion.

I only say this about the children because I used to believe charming people were charming because they were charming, or confident people were confident because they were confident. But all this is, of course, circular. The truth is, we are all living out the character of the roles we have played in our stories.

If you are going to be a winner, you have to acknowledge the truth—it is you who took the actions, thought the thoughts, created the feelings, and made the choices that got you to where you now are. It was you!

Even more exciting is learning that to create the future of your dreams, you need only change your thoughts and vibrations from this day forward.
