Author: Jill |  Topic: Affirmations  | Tags: , , , , , ,  | Leave a Comment

Fact: Did you know that the average person has 85,000 negative thoughts every hour?

Yes you are surrounded by negative impressions and negative impacts everywhere you turn. Unless you are alert to this, these impressions go into your mind to influence your life. Is this what you really want?

Here is another fact:
It takes at least 17 positive thoughts to overcome ONE negative thoughts. This means that for EVERY negative thought that you allow to enter your mind, it will take 17 positive (opposite) thoughts to annihilate the negative one.

So here is a question:
Do you REALLY want all of those negative impressions influencing your life?

How to combat the negative?
It is time to deliberately take hold of your life and declare war on the negative influences that are coming against you.

This means war.

How do you fight and win this war?

  • Your war arms are your words.
  • Your strategy is to SPEAK out those words, so that your brain can hear your positive words.
  • Your actions take possession of the prize you won in the war. <.li>
Remember, if you don’t take possession of something, it can never be yours, even if you did win it!

Affirmations are the speaking out of positive statements and declarations. These are the tools that will help you to win the war against the negative influences that surround you.

So now the question is not, why use affirmations, but rather:

26 Jul 2010 Are You Positioned To Win?

Are you always positioned to win? Or does life still sometimes catch you off guard?

An Impressive Storm
This evening a storm hit central Texas. The rain came down in a gale force strength that I don’t remember seeing, at least in a very long time. It was very impressive.

I ran for my camera to see what I could capture on photograph, but anything I could take through the window did not even begin to depict the impressive force of rain I was witnessing.

So I decided to open the front door to see if I could take a quick photo. Just as soon as I cracked the door a huge gust of wind came billowing in trying to blow me over.

It was a good thing I had one leg braced behind the other, and so I was in a good position physically to take the weight of the wind and close the door.

Immediately a thought came to me:

Are you always positioned to win? Are you always ready to overcome?

As it turned out, this was a very small incident. It only lasted a few minutes. I was able to close the door without any problems especially since I was braced ready to take a challenge. The rain only lasted about 15 minutes in such force before it calmed down to a steady shower.

But what a big lesson! If I did not have one foot behind the other (positioned to take the force of the wind), when I opened the front door I may have been pushed over.

It was a forceful lesson that left me thinking (and writing :)

The heart of the lesson is:

Are you training every day to always be prepared?

It takes preparation to be THE champion in your life.
You don’t have to be better than anyone else to be a champion. You just have to be better than your adversary and overcome his attempts to steer you off the path you are following towards your dream.

It takes preparation to be ready for whatever may come to challenge you in life. You never know what challenges may come your way, BUT you CAN be sure that if you are prepared in your heart and mind you have a great change of winning.

Your daily preparation predicts your victory (or defeat – you choose).

You always need to be alert.
I had the camera in my hand ready to shoot BUT was still position and prepared for a strong wind. Even though my main intent was to take a photo of the torrential rain, I was still alert to the strength of the elements.

So did I get the photo? No, BUT I did get a great lesson.

JillAre you always position to win over the enemy or could you easily be blown down?
