I recently attended a three day motivational conference in London. The very expensive conference was to teach me how I may overcome by limitations to succeed in life.
One of the speakers emphasised on the need for advertising to one's own self.
He said that we are bombarded with advertising messages everywhere we see, on buses, trains, on radio, television papers, you name it.
His point was, that advertising is so rampant, because it works. An advertiser, by repeatedly promoting his product to us, does persuade us to buy in to that product.
The question then was, are we using the bill board that is always in front of us to promote our own virtues?
He meant our own mind. The thoughts we live with all day long.
A lot of conference participants agreed that negative thoughts were often going around in our minds. Thoughts like, "Trust me to have messed it up." "I can't do anything right." I am hopeless at that."
The speakers simple message was that when such discouraging thoughts overcome us, we should just replace them with more positive thoughts. We could say, "I failed at that last time. But may be there is another way of doing it?"
Or, say to ourself, what outcome will please us. Then go on to see how that can be done.
We should keep repeating in our minds what we can do, and advertise to us on that billboard
that is our mind, all our positive, encouraging traits.
I wish you all the happiness in the world.
A joke: A man was fascinated by kangaroos at a zoo. His friend asked him what was so special about kangaroos. The man pointed to the sign which read, "A native of Australia," and said, "My sister married one."
