I recently heard a story of
a man who when he was young and in school was bullied. He shared his story of the hurt and the
embarrassment that he felt during those years. But one day he decided to remove himself from the situation
by play-acting. He put on sunglasses,
changed his style of clothes that expressed more power and took his brother’s
leather jacket and walked into school as a different person. When the other children saw him and his
change in appearance, they changed their attitude about him and stopped
bullying him. That was the day
that he realized he could actually act and possibly go in that direction in his
life. He created for himself a new
attitude and a new belief system by learning a new way of dealing with people
and with his life. He made his
life change by shifting his outlook.
He moved away from a poor is me attitude to one of feeling empowered and
more self-assured.
As he took his power back,
his life began to change, which in turn changed his future. You, too, can change! You possess the same inner power and
strength as this young man. He
moved away from the negative impact on his life and his reaction to life and became proactive
about his choices. He actually
re-wrote his story. We all have
the ability to make choices with our lives. We can become bitter and sour about how our lives are
shaping up or we can change our attitude and create a new story. I am here to
tell you that if you change your beliefs and your attitude, you become more
hopeful, more productive and finally more resourceful. An improved attitude opens our eyes to
see new opportunities unfold. When
you or I think negative thoughts, we cannot product positive results. If you are having a difficult time
staying positive and productive, become conscious of your words, your thoughts
and your approach to life and watch how your words and thoughts are actually
effecting your outcome.
When you are feeling down
or challenged in your life, this is the time to begin to say some positive
statements that will help keep you on track and moving in a positive and
enriched way. I like the
statement: “I am getting better
and better everyday and in every way.” Another statement is: I am free from fear and doubt; casting
want and misery out. I know the
hand of God is with me guiding my path.” Before long your attitude will change—your thinking will improve, your
mind will become healthier and your body will feel more at ease knowing that
you are moving in the right direction. It is important to remember that
negative thoughts and words attract negative action and energy. You have great power to change and
re-create your outcome and uplift your life. This is the time to learn to choose thoughts that empower
you.
When you expect good things
in your life, your soul hears the messages and begins to bring about positive
results. Today, I would like you
to change your attitude, choose to be happy and smile frequently—then observe
how your entire being, your physiology shifts and your day becomes so much
brighter.
