Hello, hello, hello. Good morning. I want you to imagine for me that I am handing you a key, a skeleton key, that is the key to your personal future. The door is right in front of you. The trick is you can either lock the door and by doing that, you will hold on to all the negativity, all the intrusive thoughts, all the what ifs and all the oh I could nevers and you will stay in the same place because this is negative thinking. But if you see that you woke up this morning, that you can be a positive person with positive thoughts, you can open this door. All you have to do is tell yourself, I know these intrusive thoughts are not my own. I know that these self doubts do not exist. I know that I am perfectly capable of achieving my goals. I know that I am important, I am loved, I am intelligent, I am beautiful and the world is waiting to accept my creations and ideas. I will smile as I walk about my day, I will refrain from only dwelling on the issues in my life and if I cannot, I will try to just listen to others. It goes along with saying if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, well if you don't have any nice things to think, try not to let those thoughts become your words because we all know that our words become our actions, our actions become our character. So if you want to have a positive future and if you can't think that far ahead, a positive day or a positive relationship, you have to take the first step and make sure that all energy, words and things that you put out into this universe are of a positive nature. Trust me, the world is watching and you never know who could be looking to you for hope. Will you provide them with it? Strength, hope and love or will you provide them with negativity, fear, despair and hopelessness? I gave you the key. It's your turn to make the decision. Good luck.
