“Like attracts like.” Sometimes we attract negative things into our lives. We can change that by changing our thoughts.

No matter who we are, where we are in life, what we do, we flourish in a positive environment. We don’t like to be belittled. We want to be valued as human beings. If we can’t get it, we leave. We walk away. We run away. We find a new purpose.

Sometimes we are responsible for the things that are leaving us. We don’t value them. We don’t take care of them. We neglect them. We don’t nurture our relationships. If you want something to grow, nurture it. If you want to grow, you must nurture your life, your heart, your mind, and your soul.

“The moment you begin to doubt, to worry, to fear, you demagnetize yourself, and the things you desire flee from you.”

Orison Swett Marden

Do not doubt yourself. Doubt cripples. It brings you down. It stops you from making things happen. The moment you question yourself, the moment you criticize yourself, good things will stop coming your way. To change that, you must appreciate yourself, love yourself, celebrate yourself, and lift yourself up. Don’t say negative things about yourself, your life, and your work.

You can’t receive great things if you are not ready to receive them. If you want to receive great things, you must stop doubting yourself.

To do great things in life, we must have the courage to confront our fears. We all want to achieve great things, but we lack the courage to start.

You can’t succeed in life without a courageous heart. It is what you need to move from point A to point B. You need a courageous heart to chase your dreams. If you don’t have a courageous heart, fear will take charge of your dreams.

To face your fear, you must cultivate a courageous heart. Let us start with the following strategies:

Do not run away from facing the real problem. If you want to solve a problem, do not ignore it. Ignoring a problem is increasing it, not reducing it. Dan Rockwell says, “When you refuse to deal with the real problem, you’ll deal with recurring frustration.”

Do not tolerate anything that is against your values. As the saying goes, “Whatever you tolerate, you encourage.” If you don’t like something, don’t tolerate it. Let it go. Dr Phil says, “We tell people how to treat us.” If you don’t want to be treated badly, don’t encourage it. Don’t tolerate it. Reject it!

Don’t be scared to think and dream big dreams. According to Donald J. Trump, “I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.” It does not cost a lot to think big. Why not do it. Oscar Hammerstein said, “If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true.” You can make a dream come if you have one. If you don’t have , you can’t win.

Don’t try to keep what you cannot keep. Trying to keep what you cannot keep is like breathing in oxygen and not letting out carbon dioxide. You are not going to enjoy it. The same is true for other things. If you can’t keep something, give it away. According to Jim Elliot, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” If you cannot let go of what you cannot keep, you cannot gain what you cannot lose. Think about it.
