yes I can

It had been a very long day. The movers come tomorrow to cart everything in my apartment away. I am exhausted, but there are still a few loose ends to take care of. I looked at the mop, bucket vacuum cleaner and attachments ... I had to take them down the stairs to my car. A little voice in my head told me that I'd never be able to make it downstairs with all that stuff in one trip. My voice of strength piped up and said

Yes I can.

This voice is not some random being within me ... it is a voice I have trained. Years ago I started to counter insecurities and negative thinking with an opposite, positive voice. This is an affirmation of all that is achievable. Can I change my negative thoughts to positive ones?

Yes I can.

We often predetermine the outcome of challenges before us (big and small). We decide ahead of time if we can or can't. We envision our success or failure. It is a very powerful thing. Harnessing energies within us like this has the potential to overcome that voice of doubt that sometimes pops up in our minds. Can I control my destiny?

Yes I can.

Instead of being your own worst enemy,
you can be your own super hero.

Picture your success. Focus on victory. Overcome those negative thoughts ... counter them with the positive ones. Be your own advocate; harness the strengths within you by countering the doubts and fears with that voice of strength within you. Can I become more successful more often?

Yes I can.
