What you hear repeatedly you will eventually believe. Dr Mike Murdock.

Do you remember the statistics I shared yesterday – the ones that revealed the number of negative words versus positive words that school children SPEAK every day. The average was 72 positive comments to 684 negative ones.

There is a great likelihood that you grew up hearing (and thinking) a LOT more negative words than you did positive words. I know I did, and yet my sister and I count ourselves blessed to have had the parents we had.

The problem was that they too were surrounded with so much negative growing up that they did not know how to fully combat it.

So even though we were blessed with what could be counted as an “above average home”, a lot of negative influence was still able to creep into our lives.

These negative words and influences mixed up our belief system, especially when it came to believing in ourselves. (Not any more though!)

I am sure you have a lot of very positive and solid beliefs, but when it comes to believing in yourself how are you doing?

Remember the quote for today?

What you hear repeatedly you will eventually believe. Dr Mike Murdock

It is highly likely that what you believe about yourself needs some tweaking – or perhaps it even needs a complete overhaul. You may well have heard a lot more negative comments about yourself over the years than you heard positive ones.

Consequently you have come to believe some of those negative comments even though they are lies.

Here are some facts about YOU.

• You are a champion!
• You are in this world because you have something unique that only YOU can contribute.
• What you can contribute to this world is of GREAT value.
• There is an enemy who has taken it upon himself to destroy you because he only promotes all that is negative.

This is why it is so necessary to spend quality time every day listening to wholesome motivational recordings and reading great books that will empower you to discover and build up the champion in you.

Here are some of the recordings and books I have in my library:

1. Download some great mp3s and mp4s from John Di Lemme (free downloads).
2. Go to Christ Fellowship Archives
   There you will find some free downloadable messages by John Maxwell. While you are there, I am sure you will find the messages by Tom and Todd Mullins challenging and inspiring also.
3. Go to youtube and do a search for Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn. You will find some great snippets of videos from both of these motivators.
4. Go to Wisdom Online. Here you will find some great free downloads about wisdom by Dr Mike Murdock.

And the book I read this week is a MUST READ – Go-Givers Sell More.

I have not yet read Bob Burg’s first book – The Go-Giver, but I will be picking up a copy of that one too.

I trust that you will find these suggestions to be a great addition to your motivational and inspirational library.
