Dead on Thought for the day...
This is a quote from Jillian Michaels - one of the trainers on the show, The Biggest Loser. It is bang on with an audio book I just started listening to called Goals by Brian Tracy. I spent years thinking this sort of thing was just bunk and I spent those same years never making progress toward my goals. I think that each of us has to come to believe in ourselves a little bit at the time - like any change, it is rarely an overnight thing.
"Having the right attitude is so important because thought is behavior. The power of the mind is total — the way you think about yourself manifests as your reality. We all know how easily negative thoughts can lead to lack of confidence, hopelessness, and depression. You've heard about self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Well, if you tell yourself that you'll always be fat or never find happiness, chances are you'll end up fat and unhappy. Hey, it makes sense.
Okay, let's turn that scenario around. Tell yourself that you can get fit and you will be happy. It's that simple. You can master your own fate with positive thinking!"
