We all want positive things in our life. We all want to have a life that is happy for a great majority of the time. So how do we do this?
So as stated before the first step to becoming truly positive is to speak positively. After we take the first step we start to convince [...]

All leaders use mantra’s, and many don’t even know they are doing it. I like to look at these three great leaders. Here are a few mantras that they have used, and you can use also:
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill quotes
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
History is written by the victors.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Vince Lombardi
Vince Lombardi quotes
Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.
Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.
If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work
It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.
Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Success demands singleness of purpose.
John Wooden
John Wooden quotes
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Be prepared and be honest.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.
It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.
So take these words, I hope you can use them in your life.

For some of us learning stopped at high school or the University. It should of course never stop, and should always be on going. To make it easier on you, use mantras while you learn. Not only will you feel better about learning, you will recall the information a lot easier.
Try this mantra before you sit down to read a book, or look at an informative website:
I enjoy learning. Learning makes me smarter, stronger, and a better person. Learning gives me success.
It may not exactly be in the now, but it is a good mantra to help you prepare to learn. After your learning session you can use this one:
I am happy that I have the ability to learn, the ability to expand my knowledge, and use my brain. I am prosperous because I have learned something.
Keep going with it. Let’s say that you are learning calculus. There are mantras to help you retain the knowledge. These may not be used to uplift but use them to help you remember what it is that you learned.
Derivative dy dx. X squared is X. Y squared is Y.
Some will call them helper sentences, some will call them chants, whatever you call them mantras can be used to help better retain your information.

No matter who we are we can all use a little boost in self-confidence from time to time. How about using mantras to do this. They are extremely powerful for this and are used for this purpose by many of the most successful people that you will meet.
This of course is the reason that we use mantras. All mantras come down to boosting your self-confidence. As I stated before mantras are meant for you, they are usually written by you, and the really only apply to you. Therefore mantras become a way of you boosting yourself. Lets get right to it.
Need a boost try these:
I am getting better and better every day in every way
My confidence around other people helps me to be a better person, and change peoples lives.
There are always more examples that we can give for self-confidence, but my advice to you is this. Find a specific reason that you feel a little self-doubt. Maybe it is speaking with your boss. Simple create a mantra that will give you strength the next time you must approach him to ask for something. Maybe something like this:
I am a great employee and because of this my boss wants my opinions. I am happy to freely talk to him about how I feel.
Perhaps you have a fear of speaking in front of large crowds. Try this one:
I am a great speaker and people are eager to hear what I have to say. I love to be in front of people and watch them unite with what I have to say.
Maybe you have a lack of confidence in starting something new. This of course is very reasonable but try this:
I am learning and getting better everyday. I bring fresh ideas that have not been used before. I am successful because of my fresh thinking.
A little worried about being too boastful with your new confidence? Try this one out:
I am confident and humble. I never waiver with my confidence, and I am always willing to help others with their own confidence.
Keep going. Before you know it you will be the most confident and successful person that you have ever met.

We all want that one special person in our life. So how do we find that person out of the Billions of people that live on this Earth? Is it chance, circumstances, or luck? I think that you can find your mate by using mantras.
If you are not ready when that right person comes along you may just pass by them and never even get the chance to say hi. I truly believe that. I also believe that you will get another chance. To prepare for that person you must first get yourself ready. If you have been waiting for that right person for a long time and have “struck out” many times, it is probably you who needs to get right. You cannot meet Mr. Right when you are Mrs. Wrong. It also works the other way guys. You will never meet that perfect mate until you are ready to be that person also.
I believed that I would meet that person very soon. I had no picture of that person in my head, but I knew that I would know as soon as I saw her. More importantly my actions were geared toward meeting my future soul mate. I bought a townhouse with the thought of living in it together. I painted the rooms with thoughts of how my future wife would like to have it done. Finally I repeated my mantra:
I am happier than I ever knew I could be with my new soul mate. She is the greatest thing that has happened to me and I know that I am a better person with her around.
That is why I knew that I had met her. She fit exactly into my mantra. Notice it says nothing about looks, nothing about her likes, nothing about her really. The mantra is all about me, and she does make me a better person, there is no doubt.
Look at your life, are you ready for someone else to enter it. Guys is your apartment or house a disaster with your stuff all over the place? Ladies do you have room for a man in your life? All of us can make small changes that lets that person enter our lives. Try this mantra to help encourage your mate to arrive:
My life is free and I am ready to find my mate. My mate is looking for me right now.
Simple mantra but can be very powerful. Be careful with this one, it may just work a little to well.
So if you are struggling to find someone create a mantra of your own that will help you, make you a better person, and get yourself straightened out first.

Use a Mantra to get all that you want
So you really want something. You desire it, but you do not know how to get it. Can you use a mantra to help you? Yes!
You cannot use a mantra to simply manifest something out of nothing. It just does not work that way. You need to use the mantra to help you get it. For example:
I have a BMW
That simply does not work. There is nothing that that has to do with you. Mantras again are for you, about you, and to help you. Now instead you can say:
I have the ability to find ways to get a BMW.
That is fine. The more you use the mantra the more ways you will find to generate more money, to save more money, to find opportunities that will deliver that BMW.
But I personally still do not like it. I would prefer you use something like this to get what you want:
I have everything I need, want, and desire. Things come to me because I am a good problem solver. I have opportunities that fall upon me bringing me more than I desire.
It seems more general, but it works better due to the fact that you don’t always know exactly what you want. What? You don’t know what you don’t know. Maybe it is a BMW that you desire. Then fine make it a mantra to get a BMW. But sometimes we ask for something that we don’t really want. What does a BMW represent? Success? Money? Wealth? Status? Or just a car?
I would say that if you do not have a BMW and there is not way in your life that you can afford one you are not really desiring that car you desire a change. A change in wealth, a change in status, a change in success. Maybe that is what you should be asking for. Once you have success, wealth, and money, then the BMW will simply be an after thought. Try this mantra out:
I am successful. I am wealthy. I have everything that I could ever want right now.
It may just change your perspective and your life.
