[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE [4 Attachments]

"Doubts are a way to learn, not a way of life."   Millions of people have doubts every day. Nobody is immune. Instead of holding onto nagging doubts forever, use hesitations in a positive way. Employ doubts to propel you forward.   When faced with doubt, ask yourself,  "Why do I have this feeling?" See it as a sign that something needs your attention. Take a moment for constructive thought.   As you look for the answer to what is causing your doubts, you may discover truths disguised by the hustle and bustle of life. Don't stop until the reason for your doubt is clear. After you discover it, you can take action. Only then can you can let go of doubt – and doubt can let go of you!   ©Jane Powell     There truly is nothing that anyone can take from us if we don't let them.       You can say what you want about me, but the only way that you're truly going to affect me is if I allow your words or deeds to affect me.  I can keep my dignity only on my terms, and no one can take it away on theirs.   That is, as long as I make sure that's so.   There truly is nothing that anyone can take from us if we don't let them.  When they threw Thoreau in jail for not paying poll taxed, he was amazed that they thought they had taken away his freedom.  "I did not for a moment feel confined, and the walls seemed a great waste of stone and mortar."   If he had allowed himself to feel as if they had taken his freedom, then guess what?  He would have felt that he had lost it.  But that wasn't the case at all--since he refused to surrender his freedom, he still held on to it even while locked away in a jail.     Going good   You've done great so far, and survived every challenge. Keep it up, and make it even better.   It hasn't been easy, and yet you have done it. Now you can continue putting your growing experience to more positively purposeful use.   Some things have turned out great, while other things haven't worked out so well. And through it all, you've learned some extremely valuable lessons.   Your life today has powerful momentum. Your great opportunity today is to point that momentum in a positive, meaningful direction.   Though there have been ups and downs along the way, you're going good. Now you can keep going even better.   Deep within, you know what works. Keep doing it, keep making new progress, and keep your life on a positive, fulfilling path.    Ralph Marston   - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
