Phrases and motivational messages have an incredible ability to change the way we feel about life. That’s why I find them so interesting and crucial in our paths to success.
You see, the way you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you, determines everything that happens to you.
When you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life, sometimes instantly. Just as positive words can make someone smile or a humorous quote can make someone laugh, our thoughts react to the world in real time.
You have total control over only one thing in the universe – your thinking – and that is where the motivational messages come in!
You can decide what you will think in any situation. Your thoughts and feelings determine your actions and determine the results you get. It all starts with your thoughts – and I have found that inspiring words are a quick way to tune your thinking.
Try to keep some edifying passages or positive proclamations in hand. If you notice that your energy begins to drop, just recite an inspiring and uplifting quote to quickly boost your mood.
