Daily Quote: Muhammad Ali

“It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”

Muhammad Ali

I often find hear people say that affirmations are overrated and don’t work. I always wonder though if they if ever stop to think of the stories they repeatedly tell themselves that have shaped their life. Repeating anything over time works whether you are doing it consciously or unconsciously . It might be affirmations, stories that you tell yourself, skills, etc. Eventually you start to believe whatever it is you tell yourself and you become that person.

I invite you to spend some time every day just monitoring your thoughts. What it is that you are repeating to yourself? What do you tell yourself about the person that you are? What do you tell yourself about your future prospects? Once you make the unconscious conscious, you are in a position to make a change, to become intentional about what you think, say and do and then watch how your life slowly transforms.

“Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today I want to stop and say thank you to God for making a way for me to pass my exams. I have now fulfilled the requirements to be able to graduate with a BA degree in psychology and anthropology later this year. I am so grateful and absolutely thrilled! This is the 1st major milestone in achieving my dream so I will take this moment to pause, be thankful and celebrate.

Daily Quote: Rumi

“As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears.”

Rumi

It’s the last day of the month. Christmas and year end is that much closer. A microscopic virus has brought about much fear and anxiety about the here and now and a change in the way we live.

Despite all this, it is still possible to forge ahead and live our dreams. All it takes is one step and then another and another and with every step, the faith that God/the Universe has your back. You will achieve your dreams. You will come out of this transition period stronger and more prosperous. Just have faith and “walk out on the way”
