You Are the Master of Your Own Destiny

That a man can change himself and master his own destiny is the conclusion of every mind who is wide-awake to the power of right thought. ~Christian D. Larson

All that we are is a result of what we have thought. ~Buddha

The power of thought should never be under-estimated. Our inner-most thoughts, whether they are positive or negative, have the power to shape our lives by a method known as auto-suggestion.

If you are trying to be a success in whatever you do, listen to the little voice inside your head. If it says things like this: "This will never work." or "What if I fail?" or "What if I make a mistake?" ...then, you are already defeated.

Did you know that you can change that little voice inside your head? You can. Write your goals on paper and read them first thing in the morning and just before you go to bed at night. Now, before you fall asleep, imagine yourself doing whatever it is you want to do with raving success. Write a small note to yourself and stick it in your pocket and read it several times during the day. Picture yourself successfully accomplishing whatever challenges you have. Just take a few seconds to visualize your success when you read the note.

What you are doing is reprogramming yourself to remove the fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). Before long, your challenge is beaten and you are on the move. Now, you can use auto-suggestion to say "I'm a winner" rather than "This will never work."

Buddha was a teacher, not a god. Buddhism is a philosophy, not a religion. It does not rely on deity. So, even if you are a devout Christian, you should have no fear about reading any of the teachings of Buddha. I say this because Buddha was right-- indeed, all that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you want to be a success, you have to think like a winner.

YOU CAN DO IT!
