“Don’t love anything that won’t love you back.”
Stop wasting your time on people and lifestyle practices that aren’t good for you — relationships, professional contacts, using drugs, etc.
“Perfection doesn’t exist.”
It really doesn’t. Even the most gorgeous men and women have their flaws. The best graphic designs can be picked apart by experts. Perfection leads to analysis paralysis, which leads to unrealized dreams due to lack of action.
“I love and genuinely approve of myself.”
Loving yourself is the first step in being able to love and respect other people. Just don’t let narcissism take over!
“You have to try it before it becomes a BAD idea.”
How can you think an idea is bad if you haven’t tried it yet? Even if someone else has and failed doesn’t mean you can’t make it work. There are few exceptions to this rule, so do use your common sense (eg., don’t jump out of an airplane without a parachute!)
“I’m too big a gift to human kind to deprive them of my greatness.”
Why languish in front of a TV or at your PC watching pointless YT vids when you could be out there showing the world just how much you have to contribute?
“Wealth is a giant river that always flows into my life.”
If you can see wealth in your future, it’s inevitable. Just don’t your dream become stagnant waiting for the lottery to come in — do something everyday to acquire the riches you want!
“Forget one-in-a-million, I’m one in 7,311,500 plus people!”
Where did the one-in-a-million thing come from? Must have been tens of thousands of years ago. We’re shooting toward 8 billion in the next few years. You truly are an extremely unique being among so many!
“Things always work out when I make them.”
You’re in control of your destiny. Stop worrying and complaining. Be a solution seeker instead of a pessimistic whiny baby.
“I forgive myself for all my past transgressions and everyone who has wronged me too.”
The past is the past. Even the bad stuff made you the person you are. If you’ve learned from it, don’t let your past haunt you and limit your present and future.
“I can’t give up cause there’s still so many ways to get it done I haven’t tried yet.”
Winners find a way, losers find an excuse to quit.
This is one of my favorite of the moment currently:
“Don’t give up what you want the most for what you want now.”
This mantra has so many applications.
- If you want to start your own business but don’t have the cash together, why would you spend all your money on electronics, cars, clothes, jewelry…. disposable junk?
- If you want to get the best job ever, why do you always take the first thing that comes your way?
- If you want to live a long life, why would you smoke that cigarette or do hard drugs?
- If you want to be fit and thin, why start/end the day with one of these every day?
- If you seriously want to watch Age of Ultron in 1080p, why are you downloading the crappy telesync from a torrent site? (don’t pirate anything folks!)
