Stay in control to make your dreams a reality
“Discipline is the key. Discipline is respecting a commitment to yourself and doing what you have to do, even when you don’t want to do it."
Bob Urichuck |
Just as thoughts can control feelings and feelings control behaviour, the reverse is also true. If you change your behaviour you can change your feelings and ultimately your thoughts. It is not how you feel that determines how you act, it is how you act that determines how you feel. For example, if you pull your shoulders back, lift your head high, force yourself to smile and cheerfully greet others, you will find your mood changing.
The same process applies to self-talk. Feed your mind negative thoughts and it will produce negative actions. Feed your mind positive, confident information and your mind will react in kind. You cannot completely control the circumstances around you, but you can control what you say to yourself and how you think.
These techniques, all easy to do, are the daily steps that will lead you to success. Each success breeds success. There will be obstacles along the way, and when they get in your way, be ready for them. You must persist. Stick to it. You will get things done, and meet your objectives and goals. Keep in mind that often when we are ready to quit, success lies just around the corner. Don’t ever give up on taking action. Make your dreams happen!
