“The upright shall dwell in thy presence.”
Psalms 140:13

Do ALL YOU CAN, and let God do the rest.

Doing all you can means not only doing all you can in your positive actions, but it also means thinking and talking to yourself in the right, positive way.

Most of us, constantly, put our abilities and ourselves down in our self-talk. Every winner that has ever won has to believe first, in positive thought and speech, that she or he is already a winner. Every loser that has ever lost believed that they were a loser first, before they lost.

God can only help you if you are willing to help yourself. You have a God-given gift of free will.

If you choose to be a loser – so be it.

If you choose to be a winner – God will come through to help you win.

How do you go from convincing yourself you are a loser, to convincing yourself that you are a winner? The answer is a whole lot of convincing, positive self-talk.

Never miss the chance to say something nice to yourself about you.

For the next 24 hours, you are not allowed to criticize yourself, once.

On the day of his entrance exams for admission to West Point, Douglas MacArthur’s nerves got the better of him. He kept saying, “I’m going to fail; there is no way I’m going to pass,” over and over again.

His mother reassured him by saying, “Doug, you’ll win if you don’t lose!”

He said, “What do you mean?”

She said, “You’ll win if you don’t lose your nerve. You must believe in yourself, my son, or no one else will believe in you. Be self-confident, self-reliant, and, even if you don’t make it, you will know you have done your best.” His mother was right. When the test scores were announced, MacArthur had passed with the highest score on the list.

MacArthur said that he talked himself through the exam. Positive self-talk can have a tremendous impact on the outcome of your life and what you believe you can accomplish.

In an experiment reported some years ago in Psychology Today Magazine, hundreds of different techniques were tried to enhance performance in a human being. Dart throwers tried everything from Zen to imagery techniques in their attempts to hit the bull’s-eye.

The results showed that positive self-talk, the same sort of verbal psyching yourself up that enabled “The Little Engine That Could” to climb the mountain induced the highest levels of “peak experience” – that spiritual sensation of effortless flow, during mental or physical tasks.

As a teenager, Whitney Houston cultivated her singing talents under the watchful eye of her mother, Cissy, who was the founder of the 1960s group The Sweet Inspirations. “I remember when I was 17, I was getting ready for the show Mom and I were doing that night,” Whitney said, “she called, sounding hoarse and said, ‘ my voice! I can’t sing!’ I said,’ forget it! I can’t go out alone!’ She said, ‘Of course you can – you are good, just tell yourself how good you are over and over again until your soul believes it.'”

Whitney talked to herself, positively, the whole night, telling herself that she could do this, and she did just fine.

When she called her mother later, she discovered the whole thing had been a set-up. Her mother said to her that Whitney had wanted to do this for a longtime but was to frozen in fear to go “solo.”

We talk to ourselves all the time; we say the worst things about ourselves to ourselves, and the problem is we believe it. We all want a better self-image, and we can have it if we are willing to self-talk to ourselves in a new POSITIVE way. We are God’s creation, children of God. It is an absolute mistake to disbelieve in God’s creation, and the God-given gifts that you are endowed with. Be endowed, NOT in doubt.

If you believe in God then you have to believe in God’s creation. But often it takes practice.

For the next 24 hours I want you to constantly self-talk yourself in positive ways. If this feels funny, or even stupid, allow that to be a gauge of how badly you need to do this. Positive talk should not seem foreign to you and if it does, it just means that you have spent much of your self-talking in a negative way. Positive self-talk is a learned habit that must be learned if you are to have all that you want out of your life.

Tell yourself how much ability you have. Tell yourself how much you can accomplish. Tell yourself that you are good-looking enough and smart enough and talented enough and creative enough. You are never left alone and God’s work is never finished in you and through you. You and God have great things to accomplish. But you must believe in yourself enough to enable yourself to be a vehicle of that God-accomplishment in your life. God has been waiting patiently for you to come around, and you are now saying “Yes God, I am up to the task. I am ready and willing, right now.”
