SELF-TALK

1.         "End your day by privately looking directly into your eyes in the mirror and saying, ‘I love you!’ Do this for thirty days and watch how you transform." -- Mark Victor Hansen

2.         "Self-doubt does more to sabotage individual potential than all external limitations put together." -- Brian Tracy

3.         "The most important conversations, briefings, meeting, and lectures you will ever have will be those you hold with yourself in the privacy of your own mind." -- Denis Waitley

4.         "Doubt is most often the source of our powerlessness. To doubt is to be faithless, to be without hope or belief. When we doubt, our self-talk sound like this: 'I don't think I can. I don't think I will.' …To doubt is to have faith in the worst possible outcome. It is to believe in the perverseness of the universe, that even if I do well, something I don't know about will get in the way, sabotage me, or get me in the end." -- Blaine Lee
