When you look at a glass that is half filled with water do you see
it as half full or half empty? The optimist always sees it as half
full, and the pessimist always sees it as half empty. This can also
be applied to how you see your daily life. Are you seeing everyday
full of opportunities or do you see each day as problematic and empty?
Please understand that you have total control of the answer to this
question. If you see most of your days as empty and problematic, it
is probably coming from your past, and you are not looking toward
your future. To change your outcome there are three important things
you can do to make today your best day. The
first thing is to read something everyday that will help you to build
life skills. Read only 10 to 15 minutes a day, or more as you
are motivated to do so, but the important thing is to create a POSitive
habit of reading. The second thing is to listen
to an audio cassette tape everyday that will motivate you and get
you to where you want to be in life. Audio cassette tapes can
educate, motivate and reinforce your POSitive thoughts. Your car is
a great place to do this and it can become your mobile learning center.
The third thing is to use POSitive self-affirmations.
They are simply a goal stated in the present tense. Instead of saying,
"I will become more POSitive," say to yourself, "I
am POSitive." Talk to yourself like this everyday. You will get
excited because it works!
