This was proven to me in college when I continually failed a basic math class. I hated math and constantly ran the tape "I'm no good at math. I can't do it.". The instructor of the class (3rd try) was a little old lady who heard me and called me aside. She said she would give me a good grade if I would stop myself EVERY SINGLE TIME I said negative stuff, and instead said "I am good at math. I love math". I thought she was crazy, but it was worth it for a good grade.

Aha... the little old lady was quite bright. I got a good grade, and not because she gave it to me. By changing my attitude and tape, my brain heard it and believed it and it came to be. Go figure!

Thanks for a good memory and a good reminder. :)

Peace out.

Hi Wretha!

I love this post! As I grow and age, this type of thinking is guiding and helping me to stay focused with a healthy mind. My mother was a big believer in positive thinking and always preached the same to me when I was young. It wasn't until I got to my 40's, that I made this connection and then everything "clicked" in my head! Sometimes staying positive is difficult, but I try very hard to live my life with an "attitude of gratitude".

Recently, I've been reading & listening to the writings of Dr. Wayne Dyer. He's now my mentor when it comes to life lessons! I love him!

To quote Dr. Dyer, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change".

Thanks for the positive post!

An avid reader,
Renee
