I have been making positive notes to myself for my entire adult life. My positive notes have taken me around the world on a sailboat, and God willing, they will take me around the world in my Land Rover. Stay tuned because the adventure continues.
Here are a few of the postive notes to myself that have contributed to who I am.
I collected these notes more than twenty years ago on file cards, and I have no idea as to their source.
Some of the thoughts are mine, and the rest come from multiple unknown sources.
I will live the rest of my life as if I am a great person.
Great men take great action.
Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way I cope with it makes all the difference.
I cannot change my life by trying to change my life. When I change the way I think, then my life will change. Changing the way I think must come first.
Faith is not a denial of reality. It's simply stepping out in the direction of my dreams with a willingness to accept the consequences.
Don't let a negative person move into your body.
Don't let a fearful person move into your body.
Don't let a sick person move into your body.
Don't let an old person move into your body.
I am already complete. I am not going to get it all. I am it already.
I already have everything I need. Abundance is not something I acquire. It's something I tune in to.
A life of abundance does not mean a life of accumulating.
If I am suffering in my life right now, It is tied up with my attachment to how I think things should be going.
There are no ordinary moments.
The most important choice in my life is my particular manner of thinking.
I build my future thought by thought.
Thought is another name for fate.
If I keep thinking what I have always thought, I will keep getting what I have always got.
The same power that traps me can also set me free. Everything depends on my particular manner of thinking.
When I no longer need to learn how to deal with disharmony, I will stop creating it.
The quality of thinking that guides my intelligence is far more important than the amount of intelligence I actually have.
There is no meaning to any event except for the meaning that I choose to give to it.
Some people will approve of what I do, and some will disapprove. Since it's impossible to make everyone happy, I will go ahead and live my dreams.
He who cannot forgive destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.
Do it first and talk about it later.
I always prefer memories to regrets. That's why I force myself to realize my dreams and to follow my ideas to the very end.
Only talk about those things that you want to expand into your life.
Act as though it is impossible to fail.
Life is short and death is long. There is no good reason to not live your dreams.
God is love and works by love, and by nothing else than love.
You are never more like God than when you are loving other people.
The solution to every problem lies inside you.
All that I accomplish or fail to accomplish is a direct result of the images that I hold in my mind.
I think in images and not in words.
I may be disappointed if I fail, but I am doomed if I don't try.
People have dozens of reasons why they can't do what the want, when all they need is one reason why they can.
I am an Unstoppable, Consistently Positive, Endlessly Persistent, Doer of Dreams.
Those are a few of the Positive Notes to Self that have made a difference in my life. Athough these cards reflect where I was in my life twenty years ago, they are still just as valid today. My cards are dog-eared from years of constant use.
It's time for you to get out your file cards and create some Positive Notes to Self and go over them multiple times each day. It won't be long before those notes become a part of your life, and you will never be the same.

Overcoming depression is hard, perhaps the hardest thing you will ever do. But if you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you. Your emotions are a reflection of your thoughts.

Instead you need to learn how to change the way you think, and your emotions will naturally take care of themselves. The challenge you face in depression is to change the way you think. If you want to change the way you think and feel, you are going to have to change your inner dialogue. You are going to have to talk to your mind in a different manner. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. The battle for a positive mind is fought on the battlefield of focus. In order to break the back of depression, you will have to learn how to persistently and consistently control your mental focus.
