Self Talk And Thinking Yourself ‘There’
What you tell yourself with conviction is your mantra to your mind, brain and heart.
I’ve been hearing a few people lately talking about self doubt creeping in. When you leave a door open for that chatter, understand you can charmingly kick it out. Don’t fear doubt, look at it, and charmingly talk back with assertiveness,love -> not anger. That part of you believes something, true or not. If a child wakes up from a bad dream because of the infamous boogie man, do you scream at them, and tell them “listen you little messed up person, go back to sleep, and you’re the worst person ever for letting yourself believe such nonsense”.
No, I don’t think so. You’d probably ask:
->what’s wrong?
->what did you dream?
-> let’s turn the light on, and I’ll show them nothings there
->hugs and good thoughts before they close their eyes again
->and if they can’t sleep, you’d continue to nurture them with what they need and want that would further take care of them in healthy ways
Whatever you’ve experienced in your life that has assisted your self doubt, you can against the odds turn any corner. Matter of fact, because you’ve convinced yourself that self doubt has some evidence of being valid, start by telling yourself your greatness is here against all odds of every experience that disrupted your harmonius path, that you believed you were supposed to follow. And know that your new level of nurturing which is far greater than what you’d have to learn if you didn’t have your past experiences, will now get you to a place far greater than your “perfect” path that you thought you were supposed to be on, and was supposed to give you that “better” life.
Remember you don’t know what you got till it’s gone. Don’t wait for all that good raw stuff that you haven’t worked your magic on to be gone, before you see life is always good in the now.

BY
ORISON SWETT MARDEN
It’s entitled PUSHING TO THE FRONT
OR, SUCCESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES
A BOOK OF INSPIRATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO
ALL WHO ARE STRUGGLING FOR SELF-ELEVATION
ALONG THE PATHS OF KNOWLEDGE
AND OF DUTY
This is the PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION
AFTER the author had worked for
years on the original manu-
script of “Pushing to the
Front” it was entirely destroyed
by fire; and it was with great
difficulty that he reproduced it,
as all of his notes, which he had
been collecting for many years, were burned also.
As he had never before written anything for pub-
lication, he expected that the rewritten manuscript,
sent to Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin and Company of
Boston, would be declined, but they promptly ac-
cepted it and published twelve editions the first
year. The book has probably gone through more
than one hundred editions since.
The author has received thousands of letters from
people in nearly all parts of the world, telling how
the book has aroused their ambition, changed their
ideals and aims, increased their confidence, and how
it has spurred them to the successful undertaking of
what they before had thought impossible.
Many of these letters have come from youths
telling how it has encouraged them to return to
school or college after having given up in despair;
to go back to vocations which they had left in a
moment of discouragement; enheartened to take up
other dropped or neglected tasks with new hope
and new ambition; and how the book has proved
a turning point in their careers; the cause of their
success.
