Message From the Universe: The Power of Your Thoughts and Actions

"What if suddenly, in a flash of fire and light, you got "it"! And among other things, you suddenly understood, without a doubt, the creative power of your word. Do you think you'd ever again utter, "it's hard," "it's not working," "something's wrong with me," or "I don't know"?

You got "it"! 

The Universe"

These flashes of intelligence are sometimes rare so when they do come, you will notice them. Suddenly, everything around you will become clear and make more sense. The power of your thoughts and actions can move mountain so never underestimate either one of them. The words "hard", or "it's not working" or "I am not worth it" shouldn't be crossing your mind at any time. You are better than that. By changing a few things around with your actions, you will start seeing the results you been wishing for. Stop trying to fix things that couldn't be fixed and focus on what can work for you. The brain is also a muscle, so train it like you would with your biceps or chest or another other parts of your body. You need to train it to accept only the positive thoughts and reject the negative. It doesn't happen overnight, especially if you polluted your mind with thoughts such as "it's hard," "it's not working," "something's wrong with me," or "I don't know".

Your mind needs to be fed only positive words so it can talk to the Universe and transmit the important message of health, wealth, fortune and glory. I agree that in the process, you will have lots of ups and downs, which is perfectly normal. If you would only see the summit, everyone would do it. You need to also have luck, as not many is born son or daughter of the King of Saoudi Arabia, or another other country. We do not choose where we are from but as long as you make the best of what you have, this is already the beginning of reaching the ultimate supremacy. You will need lots of work and determination to overcome the challenges of life and this is why you need to start training your brain TODAY to allow easy travel throughout these difficult hurdles. If you are not trained, you will abandon ship quickly and not give yourself another chance at success. Try to stay away from the 97% of the population who gave up too quickly on their dreams to end up working for the 3% of the people who pushed through the difficult times and succeeded far beyond everyone's imagination.

Positive Reaffirmations and Reinforcements Help Overcome Challenges

When dealing with challenging situations in life, one often feels quite helpless and uncertain about the future and what it holds. At times like these it is best to simply use the power of one's mind to keep themselves going.

Positive reaffirmations are basically optimistic statements or assertions made to oneself. Reinforcement on the other hand, is the process of encouraging oneself to believe and act upon the reaffirmations. An example of a positive reaffirmation would be "I am the best at what I do". Convincing oneself into believing this statement is reinforcement.

The process of reinforcement can be rather complex.It takes quite a few attempts in order to ensure that one's own mind has indeed accepted the reaffirmation as a reality and is willing to take them as solid facts. Additionally, if the reaffirmations are to be followed up with some actions then the process of reinforcement may be a bit more intricate.

Reinforcing actions could involve either positive or negative reinforcement; or both of them. Positive reinforcement is when a desirous stimulus is provided upon the completion of the required action. For example, suppose an individual's aim is to write a book and the required action is to write two pages per day. The positive reaffirmation in this case could be "I am absolutely capable of writing two pages every day." The positive reinforcement would be that upon writing two pages, the individual treats themselves to their favorite food.

Negative reinforcement can be of two types: escape and active avoidance. When we speak of "escape" it means that a negative stimulus is removed once the required action has been completed. "Active avoidance" is when the completion of the required action helps avoid a negative stimulus.

With reference to "escape", taking forward the same example of writing a book, until the two pages are not written, the individual can keep the temperature of the central heating system a little higher than normal. This would encourage them to hurry up and write those two pages as soon as possible rather than putting off the task till later. Once the two pages have been written the negative stimulus can be removed i.e. the temperature can be reduced.

Speaking about "active avoidance" in the context of the same example, the awareness that not writing two pages could cause the individual's publishers to withdraw their funding support would act as a reinforcing message, as writing those two pages every day will help them avoid the given negative stimulus.

In summarization, positive reaffirmations and reinforcement help overcome challenges as they tend to keep an individual motivated and on the right track.
