Days of Inspiration for the New Year!

"We gain strength, courage and confidence every time we look fear in the face.
We must do that which we think we cannot do." -- Eleanor Roosevelt

Often, we have the thought that we can't do something and we believe that thought to be true. We don't think "Oh, that's just a thought, as inconsequential as all those other silly thoughts I have a thousand times a day." The amount of negative nonsense that runs through our minds every day is boggling, most of it baring a ridiculous relationship to reality. And yet, because we hear these words in our own voices in our own heads we assume such doubts and fears should be taken seriously.

I used to think I couldn't do any of the things I wanted to do. I had thousands of thoughts on the subject of how scared and stupid I was. Then I started learning about thoughts and how 99 percent of them are simply negative nonsense. And, gradually, I stopped automatically believing them and -- in the subsequent silence -- I found myself doing things I'd never dreamed I could do. The more I did, the more I believed I could do, and I'm absolutely sure it will be the same for you!
