http://positivetranceformations.com.au/blog/if-you-can-dream-it%e2%80%a6/ Inspirational quotes tell us that if we persevere and believe we can achieve our goals, we can make our dreams reality. It is certainly good to fill your mind with positive ideas like this, as what we believe affects our behaviour. However, we have to be realistic in those dreams and aspirations – if we set our goals too high and strive ceaselessly for the perfection we desire, burnout is the result, along with other mental problems, like depression and anxiety disorder.

Dream It

2. OK, unless you’ve been under a rock
for the last 20 years, you have
probably heard plenty of those
inspirational positive thinking quotes.

3. And even if you are under a rock, if
you have a mobile telecommunications
device of some kind, you probably can
still get these quotes delivered to
you.

4. I certainly know that half the
“status updates” posted by this
writer’s friends seem to be cheesy,
cheerful inspirational quotes.

5. And I’m pretty sure that motivational
speakers in the world of business,
religion and community matters have
to go through a course where they
learn all the inspirational quotes.

6. You sometimes wonder if some of
these speakers have actually read
any of the books they take quotes
from or whether they just read
books of quotations.

7. What sort of quotes are we talking
about here?

8. Here’s a selection of cheesy and not
so cheesy ones from online and a
calendar sent this writer for
Christmas by a relative

9. – but minus the nice photos of
sunsets, waves, waterfalls and
sweeping mountain panoramas (and
action pics of guys going rock
climbing if you’re really lucky):

10. “Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes, courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying ‘I will
try again tomorrow.’”

11. “A journey of a thousand miles begins
with a single step.”

12. “YOU are the creator of your own
destiny.”

13. “Do not wait for your ship to come in
– swim out and meet it.”

14. “Your attitude determines your
altitude.”

15. “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

16. “Opportunities for success in this
world are as great as we have the
imagination to dream them.”

17. Now, a lot of these quotes are
inspiring and motivational. It’s good
to feed your mind on positive, upbeat
phrases – they’re better for you than
negative self-talk.

18. There’s no denying the power of the
will and the mind, and with a lot of
struggles in life, it’s the battle in the
mind that counts the most.

19. This is one of the fundamental ideas
behind hypnosis – what we believe
deep down and what’s playing on our
mental audio loops affects our
behaviour and therefore our lives.

20. We certainly think it’s a good idea to
start the day by filling your mind
with positive and inspiring words
from an authority or source that you
respect and admire.

21. After all, one of the early
pioneers of hypnotherapy, Dr Coué,
taught that if his clients and patients
recited the positive phrase “Every
day and in every way, I am getting
better and better” twenty times
first thing in the morning,

22. this would affect the way they lived.
It was a sort of hypnotherapy and
mental reprogramming without the
trance (but therefore took a lot
longer to sink down into the deeper
parts of the psyche – the part of you
that could be called the spirit, soul
or heart).

23. As an aside, it’s funny that this
famous line of Coués doesn’t turn up
in those posters and cheerful little
books of inspirational quotes.
