Do You BELIEVE You Can Succeed???

Do you BELIEVE You Can Succeed???  Belief is probably the most important factor in this journey to a healthier lifestyle.  How do you keep going?  Do you envision your success?  Do you have a new outfit hanging on the door?  

The quote that started my journey and that is part of each email I send is ... "BELIEVE even when it is not rational, and good things WILL happen ..

Here's one I found today ...

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.  ~ Gail Devers

Truly looking forward to hearing from you on this one ...

Here is a quote that keeps me going every day, especially during the process of my divorce which will hopefully be final before christmas.

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go.  Release the hurt.  Release the fear.  Refuse to entertain your old pain.  The energy it takes to hang on to the past is holding you back from a new life.  What is it you would let go of today."  -Mary Manin Morrissey

I *believe* I can do it .. but when will I really start .. I'm moving closer .. about 80% there .. up from 30% about a week ago.  

My high school ring says in Latin:  

          We cross this bridge but once


So I ask myself, "why would I let an opportunity to suceed get away?" and the answer is "I believe in myself and I wont' .. I just need a weeee bit more time cause when I say I'm going to do something .. I do it and not just do it .. I do my best!".

For myself I believe that I 'can' lose weight, but sometimes fail to see that I 'will' lose weight.  Faith and belief are paramount to success, I am going to substutite 'can' for 'will' and success should follow.  I always tell my daughter and step children that they can achieve whatever they set their mind to do.  It's important to share these beliefs as it changes them from a wish into a reality.  
These two quotes;

Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.
Doug Firebaugh

And

The way to gain a good reputation, is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. - Socrates

are going to be my quotes for today.  Hopefully they will help me in my quest.

Happy Thursday x

Many yrs. ago....my children would come to me and say....do you think i will do well on the test at school? I would always come back and say.....Do you believe you will do well? They would say...Yes!! I then would say....Keep on believing that!!! You will do well.

My children have handed that little phrase down to their children.......Always believe in yourself...good things happen to those that believe!!! If you don't believe in yourself..no one else will either!!

Have a nice day!!!

"He who overcomes himself is strong"
From the Tao Te Ching.

A friend of mine always says a more colloquial phrase when I'm loaded up with problems:
"It'll all work out in the end."

And ya know what?  It always does!
