It is possible to make changes in any area of life using positive affirmations for success. A number of us feel seriously affected by a challenge. When we find ourselves thinking we cannot possibly resolve a challenge we may become paralyzed. It happens over and over again because we tend to repeat behaviors purposely and subconsciously. We trap ourselves into a state of inaction. We convince ourselves that we can?t change lives.
Not long ago I met with a good friend who once felt guilty simply because he found many homeless individuals out on the road during a particularly strong winter. He explained traveling along in the comfort of his warmed automobile with a sack of food. He would be home shortly to prepare dinner and go to sleep in warm bed.
His head were on the abandoned people and he thought about the blankets he had kept in the attic. He pictured himself getting comforters to people who have been cold. He thought a lot more and said to himself that 5 comforters would not fix the challenge. It would not matter.
The effectiveness of positive affirmations for success would eventually change his life and the life of many other people. He told me this message about positive affirmation in stage.
The vacationing guy was a new person to this region and the bare beachfront. He had been watching a boy of approximately six or nine years of age for almost 20 minutes. The child was collecting starfish on the fine sand and running after the receding beach water. Near the tide he?d fling the starfish far out in to the water.
The man came along until he arrived at the child and wanted to know exactly what he was doing. The boy picked a starfish from the sand, looked up, and answered that he was tossing them back to the water. He explained that the creatures would die-off if they were not returned to the water.
The person looked down the never-ending stretch of sand and it was littered with literally hundreds of starfish as far as the eye could watch. He couldn?t appreciate how the young man could not know that his efforts was not possible.
He looked back again to the boy and asked him if he truly thought he was making a big difference. The young man released another one high into the air toward the foamy water, turned to the person and smiled as he explained, ?It made a difference to that one?.
My friend told me how that story empowered him to destroy his individual mental roadblocks. He restored his commitment to practicing his personal affirmations. He minimize his blankets in half so he had 10 instead of five. He asked co-workers and church family to donate warm clothing, hot cocoa, foodstuffs and volunteer time to the two warming centers in his area.
He is no more frozen into inaction. He cannot look after each and every homeless person on a cold winter nights. He can?t fix your entire trouble. What he has discovered is that he can conquer his past, not be worried about the next day and act right now. He has discovered what all of us can find out about ourselves. We can make a difference.
