“Grateful souls focus on the happiness and abundance present in their lives and this in turn attracts more abundance and joy towards them.”

“Have faith in the universe and its capability to lead you to the path of abundance.”

“Positive belief in yourself will give you the energy needed to conquer the world and this belief is the power behind all creation.”

“Both positive and negative thinking are contagious.”

“Habitual procrastinators will readily testify to all the lost opportunities, missed deadlines, failed relationships and even monetary losses incurred just because of one nasty habit of putting things off until it is often too late.”

“How often do you find yourself saying, “In a minute”, “I’ll get to it” or “Tomorrow’s good enough” and every other possible excuse in the book? Compare it with how often you decide it’s got to be done, so let’s get on and do it! That should tell you just how serious your procrastinating problem really is.”

“The problem with procrastination is it’s been around since the beginning of time it seems.”

“A Master Jedi feels emotions, but they do not allow them to influence their reasoning. Yoda told Luke that he would know the good from the bad when he was 'calm, at peace.”

“There are two things essential if you want to enhance your Jedi self-confidence: 1/ belief that it is possible 2/ that self-help is the best help”

“The moment you become friends with your inner Self, you realize that the failures or hindrances that you met earlier were caused more by your disconnected status with your inner Being.”

“Jedi act with confidence, move with confidence, and breathe with confidence. Jedi possess a confident calmness in their looks, attitude andbehaviour.”

“Jedi are conversationalists and negotiators, bringing people together and solving problems. Jedi listen and feel to what others are saying.”

“Jedi are always assessing situations, actions and possibilities. Jedi don’t just think outside of the box with the help from the Force, they also adapt to situations outside of the box!”

“The Jedi is a practitioner of mind mastery. He realizes that whatever they are experiencing, they are creating and that they can change their lives in an instant by changing their thoughts, their focus and the way they are observing and engaging the energy of the world around them and the people who they’ve invited into their lives to play whatever roles they’ve chosen them to play.”

“Stop comparing yourself with others. If they are good at something, you too are good at something else. Self-confidence is not measured by your own capabilities versus that of others, but by your own needs.”

“Concentrate more on your achievements than your failures. Learn to take the failures as opportunities to rectify your errors.”

“Gone are the days when 19-inch biceps would once command respect. A Jedi doesn’t walk around with their arms flexed and with a thousand yard stare in their eyes. They walk with a good posture, their head held high and with a serious, yet friendly, look on their face.”

“Self-confidence is contagious.”

“Once you feel nice about yourself, you have planted the first seed to develop self-confidence.”

“Certain situations need a Jedi-like approach. One of these is when you are in a strange environment, usually where you feel unsure of yourself. You would be surprised how, if you walk with confidence and meaning, people will see this as a mark of confidence, yet you are perhaps shaking inside but outwardly you have the gait of a confident Jedi Knight.”

“Tap into ‘The Force’ and soon, at any given time that you need that extra shot of high octane confidence; you will soon be like a Jedi Master at this technique.”

“This inner Being is all powerful, intelligent, indestructible and a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. This inner core is truly who and what you are and is perpetually trying to connect with your outward self.”

“Your core, lying deep within you, is what makes you what you are. Some call it the soul, the Higher Self, the true self, the being and so on. The name is unimportant once you realize that you are more than your looks and outward appearance.”

“Humans, unlike Jedi, are powerfully afraid of rejection. We do not survive well alone, so humans as a species are especially vulnerable to thoughts that make us afraid the rest of the “tribe” will desert us to die a sad, lonely death.”

“Self-belief, also called self-efficacy, is the kind of feeling you have when you have, like a Jedi, mastered a particular kind of skill and with its help have been able to achieve your set goals.”

“Your self-confidence is simply the part of your brain that tells you whether or not you should try something different or new or believe in yourself, and just as a Jedi truly believes that it is within their power to control their thoughts and stay in the Light, so can you.”

“For your mind, emotions and physical body to be working together in total harmony, the chakras need to be spinning at the correct frequency.”

“Winning is great, but if it's not enough then then you'll never have enough!”

“Acknowledgement is possession. When you acknowledge, think or have conviction in something, it actually will come true.”

“Each person has got a voice inside them. Communicate with it and take hold of it. Do not let it push and shove you around – you are its master!”

“If someone does not consider those around them to be valuable and hold only themselves in high regard, they too have a very bad self-esteem.”

“Our own self-esteem is something we can actually twist in whatever way we want.”

“You don't have to be good at something to be liked.”

“We are exactly what our history made us to be.”

“Whatever you lay your hands on, self-esteem is visible.”

“What we perceive about ourselves is greatly a reflection of how we will end up living our lives.”

“A person today who seems to have a great sense of self-esteem has his or her childhood days to thank for it.”

“A failure is always in the passenger seat in his or her life.”

“How we relate with other people is dependent on how we rate ourselves and what we think about ourselves.”

“Failing to make it to the list of the best 5 students in class or not being named the team captain should not make anyone feel like they have failed.”

“If we can acquire an attitude of self-belief, then we will surely determine our future actions and our future life opportunities.”

“Feeling indifferent or reserved about doing something is a signal that it is probably not correct after all.”

“A good self-esteem level is mostly dependant on how we value ourselves without any bias.”

“For us to regard others as worthy, we have to begin by regarding ourselves as worthy.”

“The first place where self-esteem begins its journey is within us.”

“Making excuses is one of a host of self-defeating behaviours and mental patterns that can block your success.”

“You cannot run at full throttle when applying your mindset to all of the different things running through your head. Focusing is the key to manifesting your desires.”

“Focusing is the great secret of power. If you want to use your full amount of focus, you must close down all other thought and direct your power of generating mental steam toward one outcome.”

“Just let go of the need to care about whether it happens or not, then you are free from fear and can then concentrate on focusing.”

“When you stop blaming others for where you are in life, that is when you can start to manifest your dream life!”
