Why successful people talk to themselves

in #life6 years ago

Whether or not you realize it, incessantly talking to yourself is not just for crazy people. In fact, it turns out that talking to yourself is actually a quality of highly successful people.

In the book “Think and Grow Rich,” Napoleon Hill, who spent 25 years studying the qualities of highly successful people, talks about how having faith in yourself is one of the most powerful of all the major positive emotions a person can develop.

But, the question is, how do you develop faith if you don't yet have it? Well, it's simple. You develop faith through self talk by using affirmations.IMG_20180722_145943_605.jpg

Hill says, "Repetition of affirmations to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.” Hill goes on to say, "It is a well known fact that one comes to believe whatever one repeats to one’s self, whether the statement be true or false."

This is why repeating affirmations to yourself are one of the most effective tools for quickly becoming the person you need to be to achieve everything you want in your life. It’s no coincidence that successful individuals like Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Suze Orman, Muhammad Ali, Tony Robbins, Oprah Winfrey, and many more, have all used affirmations as a tool to help them on their journey to success.IMG_20180722_184739_377.jpg

Remember, we believe what we tell ourselves. So, if you don’t consciously design your daily affirmations to be more positive, then you will fail to develop the mindset that you need to take any area of your life to the next level.
How you talk to yourself on a daily basis will have a dramatic influence on your level of success in every area of your life, whether it's happiness, health, finance, love, confidence, etc
