You were created to WIN.

1. Remove and replace negative thinking.  I want you to identify the negative thoughts you’ve been thinking and replace them.  Maybe you’ve been thinking, “I don’t have enough money to live my dream.”  Replace that thought with something else.  Replace that thought with, “I have more than enough to succeed.”  If you’re going to get on track with thinking positive, you have to replace every negative thought with something positive.  If you’re really struggling in this area, it wouldn’t hurt to get a journal and write down the negative things that have been dominating your mind.  Write them down so you can be aware of the thoughts that have been affecting you.  Then write down the statements and the thoughts you are going to use as a replacement. 
2. Fuel the fire!  If you’re going to change your life, then you’ve got to feed yourself.  If you’re going to keep thinking positive, you have to fuel that fire!  You have to feed your spirit and your soul.  Your inner being is just like your external body.  Your body needs food to live. It needs good food to feel good.  Your spirit and soul are no different!  If you’re going to be positive and get your life on the right track, you’ve got to FEED YOURSELF with good stuff!  Listen to positive music (like Amma Johnson- woot woot!!!) or whoever you like.  Download a really positive and inspiring book.  For example, people like Joel Olsteen have written some really positive books.  Download them.  Soak it in.   Google some really positive articles.  Listen to some audio books.  Things don’t just happen.  You have to make them happen.  If you want to stay positive, do something about it!  SMILE.  Put on some music.  DANCE.  Feel the wind and the waves of life again.  Get moving.  Write down some positive statements.  Do whatever you need to do to stay positive.
3. Manage your environment.  This is a really important one!  Mange your environment and keep it free of negative influences.  Everyone may not be suitable for the environment you want to create in your life.  If I’m in a work or social setting and people start to complain or gossip, I remove myself.  I don’t want to be a part of it!  I have no time for drama!  Watch what you’re watching.  I like to watch the news to be informed, but if it’s overly negative, I turn it off.  There are other ways to get relevant news without being inundated with constant negativity.  Whatever you give the most attention to will control you.  Mange your life.  Choose your friends wisely.  If you have so-called friends who are constantly discouraging you, find new friends!  Look for another network that is going to encourage you and challenge you in the right context.  You are the official manager of your own environment.  You have the right to let in what you want in and keep out what you want out!  BAM!
4. Speak LIFE.  Our words are so important.  The words we speak are so vital to our long term success.  Do you say things like, ‘I just can’t win,’ or ‘I’m too old to do that.’ or ‘I’m not really good at anything.’ or ‘Just can’t get ahead.’? Those are limiting statements!  Get rid of them!  I know it might to take time.  You may have catch yourself.  You might have to work on it for the next few months.  The words you speak are literally energy.  They are creative power.  Say things like, ‘I’m going to make it happen.’ or ‘Things are going to work out.’  I know it may feel strange or ‘a little corny’!  But, you know what?  What would you rather have?  Would you rather have peace of mind or constant worry?  Think of your words as explosive energy.  What kind of energy do you want to create?
