The Power of Thought

Take a minute to think of the last conversation you had with yourself. Were you nice or were you a nag? Was there a, “You can do this,” or instead a “You are such an idiot!” If your tendency is to be too hard on yourself…STOP IT! Because the self-nagging adds up. It also sucks the energy out of you and steals the confidence you need to be a positive influence in others’ lives.

The good news is…you have a choice to have your thoughts work for or against you. It’s like choosing the type of food you put into your body. Put in bad stuff to look bad. Put in good stuff to look good. Your mind is no different. Pollute it with negative thoughts, and you will be a negative influence on others. Nourish it with good thoughts, and you will positively impact everybody you touch.

So this week, whether in your car alone traveling to your next sales call or sitting in your office at the end of the day, pay attention to your self-talk. If it’s negative, silence it! Redirect that energy to a thought about you or others that just feels right. Make a habit of finding that energy within you, and it will frequently find its way to others. Touch a ton of people, and there is no way to be anything less than a true success.
