REPLACE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS WITH POSITIVE ONES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS

Recently, one of my colleagues in office was preparing to make a presentation before his seniors and a few other guests who were visiting us. Although he was quite good in many other tasks, this time the topic was not to his liking.

It also needed a lot of research work. He went through many books, sat for long hours and got the presentation done.

And, when the all-important day arrived, he became somewhat nervous and remarked, “I’m not very sure how this would go.”

And, his apprehensions turned out to be true. He faltered a number of times during the presentation, and the whole meeting turned out to be a disaster.

It not only made my colleague feel miserable, but also dented his confidence in the long run.

The problem with some of us is despite our talent and abilities, we let doubts visit us when the time of reckoning comes, and this negatively impacts our endeavours. We should have an unflinching belief in our own capabilities.

And for this to happen, we must always nurture our mind with positive thoughts and work towards our goals relentlessly. The power to succeed and be happy lies nowhere else, but within us. We just need to tap into it.
