Oh, no perfect people out there (it was a defense mechanism), but I do wonder if many of the most successful people around have used them or a positive mindset perhaps just comes more naturally and is more automatic and phrasesdon't have to be written out to say to themselves.

Guess it depends on how you define success.

There are those who equate success with the size of house they own or the model of car they drive, while there are some who equate success in terms of a difference they make performing services for others.

Personally the most successful people I've met are also the most humble.

it's not lying. your subconcious mind doesn't know what's true and what's not. it just absorbs whatever it's being fed

it's much easier to reach a goal if you imagine yourself already attaining it or think of it in the present tense

it's not about the end result as much as the mindset these affirmations instill

100% correct. I won't comment on any of the particular circumstances, but I have what I have, and I am where I am, because I put myself here in my mind first. I dare anyone to ask a homeless beggar a few questions, and they'll say "Society always shits on me". I have news for them. Society shits on everybody. Some people get buried in it, and others plow it into a field and grow expensive crops with it .

True - lemons or lemonade. It's up to you. I like your example.

Or lemon party (self help words of wisdom for all)?

I'm good enough...
I'm smart enough...
and people like me....

LOL. I love that guy! Java just missed the "and doggone it" beforee..."people like me".

I really had a good 15 year streak with taking a very Buddhist and Taoist approach to life and my subsistence level barely into middle class lifestyle was just fine for me and my partner for ages. I was haaaappy. Then came REAL life....

So, damnit! I'm having a midlife crisis and questioning all my past decisions and what the hell I do now about it all. I'm losing my bamboo limberness to swaying with life. In some ways I did snap.

I was the happy leaf floating on the river. Now I feel like algae pond scum and I know it's all my own fault and perspective. I was rarely jealous about what others had. I knew I had it good- good enough for me. Then I discovered the Buddha's devil...DESIRE. I love alliteration. ha ha.

Now, I have to decide NOW if it's all good enough for me still or do I get off my ass and go get what I want- besides another affair. That was a weird lithmus test to see if I could get what I want in that arena. It's true - be careful what you ask for as it's not likely to be exactly what you wanted though it's what you wanted. But, now I want all the rest that I do now dare to DESIRE.

So, there's a balance to be attained between being happy with what you have yet having enough drive to go get MORE.

This has reawakened my desire for a young bald David Carradine. Wow. He wasn't bad until he hit the desert with that crazy hat and long hair.

Btw, didn't know pick3 could be so profound. Nice to see some depth in this cesspool. As one who admires humble people, I assume that is a trait you strive to internalize? That's refreshing. The humble remark is so true according to the business book "Good to Great". All the consistently top companies had humble CEOs who did their work for the company and not for their own egos and reputations. And egoist example? Lee Iacocca- according to the book.

They absolutely do. Wether conciously or unconciously. One thing Ive noticed about truly successful people is that they are eternal optimists.
It really is about responsibility, preparation, and opportunity.
