Using Positive Affirmations
by Zig Ziglar
Using positive affirmations is a proven technique that
works miracles in many lives. Ideally, you should look yourself in the eye as
you make these positive affirmations. Don't be shy; go ahead and get started!
Repeat the following statements to yourself every Monday morning to get your
day and week off to a great start:
- I clearly understand that failure is an event, not a
person; that yesterday really did end last night; and that success isn't final
and failure isn't fatal because I only fail if I quit.
- I have the courage to admit a mistake and to say that I
was wrong.
- I have vision in my life, which means that I see not
only with my eyes but also with my heart.
- I have 525,600 minutes in every year of my life, and I
utilize them well to maximize my ability.
- I am successful because I believe that to be truly
educated, I must be mentored--either in business or in my personal life, by
reading or by association--by superior minds with greater skills and mature
spirits.
- I discipline myself to do the things that I need to do
when I need to do them, because I know that doing them will enable me someday
to do the things I want to do when I want to do them.
- I clearly understand that if I develop yearning power
and apply learning power, I will increase my earning power.
- I am successful because I don't confuse activity with
accomplishment. I know that I can't make it in life as a wandering generality,
so I am a meaningful specific.
- I am successful in all areas of my life because I have
a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at myself.
- I am like an eraser. I recognize my mistakes, I learn
from my mistakes, and then I erase those mistakes from my memory. I move
forward in my life every day, even if it's only a tiny step, because I know
that great things are accomplished with tiny moves, but nothing is accomplished
by standing still.
