RISK AND COMMITMENT stanley diaz

Do affirmations and visualization work.  Yes, if you are already successful in that affirmation. No, if you are not.  You can not lie to yourself over and over and think you are fooling your mind into believing it.  Your mind knows what you are doing and why.  What does work is asking yourself the right questions.  Answer with truthful answers.  Better questions equal better results.  Practice.

Everyone has worries unless they are a psychopath.  We can never get rid of worry, but we can learn to manage and control its effects on us.  This is how I learned the most effective techniques to manage worry.  It's from the most beneficial course I have ever taken. 

Many people will make promises and false claims just to make you feel happy.  This makes you admire them and builds their egos at a dangerous cost to you.  If you rely on this Happy Talk you could make very costly decisions that fall flat.  Do your research and always get any promises in writing. 

Usually the problem people have is a lack of total commitment to their goals or the RISK they have chosen but sometimes we can over commit to a plan of action that is not at all justified by the level of risk involved. 

The greatest power in the universe is that of compounding.  It works for good just as it does for evil.  The problem is that the forces of evil are easy to allow to compound whereas to compound good requires consistent effort.  Listen to the story of the tortoise and the Hare.  Slow and Steady wins the race.

Once again I learn the importance of treating everyone with respect as if they were the most important person you know. You NEVER know what impact that may have in the future.  You can not treat others with respect without having respect for yourself at the same time. A gift that keeps giving back to you.
