For Your Reading Pleasure: The Daily Motivator

By Daniel N. Okoro

If your thoughts could cause things to instantly happen, what kind of thoughts would you think? If your values and priorities were to be continually manifested in the world around you, what values and priorities would you choose? The fact is, your thoughts, your values, and your priorities most certainly have a major influence on the quality of your world and your life. Though you cannot instantly make something appear just by thinking about it, the things that do end up appearing in your life often do so as a result of your thoughts. Your thoughts directly control your actions, and your actions have a major impact on the reality of your life. When you feed your moments with positive, loving, thankful thoughts, your life and your world cannot help but benefit. The quickest way to improve your situation is to improve the way you think about it. Though your thoughts will not immediately change anything outside of you, they can immediately change your outlook. And by adopting an affirmative, creative, grateful outlook on life, you receive a double benefit. Your actions become more focused on creating value and at the same time, they become more effective. Changing your thinking can indeed change your world. So choose the best thoughts that you can possibly imagine.

Choose to make it a fabulous day

What you need for this moment, you already have. Everything else is a delightful bonus.

There is nothing for which you must strive, for you are here, and alive, and aware, and able. There is no reason for worry or anxiety. There are so very many ways that you can choose to make a difference. There are no pressures, no demands, no regrets and no struggles. There is only now and the opportunity to fully live it. In this moment, let go of the illusion of need and you are truly wealthy beyond all measure. Realize that lack and limitation exist only in your mind, and you’ll see that you can instantly be free of them. The whole universe is yours in this moment, to live, to experience, to transform into value and fulfillment. All the best that you could ever imagine is here for you now to bring to life.

Choose to make it a Wonderful Day

Imagine how great it would be to have someone providing you with a constant supply of encouragement. When you get in the habit of encouraging yourself, that is exactly what you can have. All day long, you are thinking and saying things to yourself. You have the power to choose precisely what those thoughts and those words will be. Choose to make them positive, uplifting, and encouraging. Make good use of the thousands of opportunities you get each day to provide yourself with support and direction. When you catch yourself mentally beating up on yourself, decide to stop such destructive behavior right then and there. Instead, give yourself a few words of real, sincere encouragement and notice how much more energized and effective you immediately feel. In addition, get in the habit of offering encouragement to others whenever you get the chance. That will make you more likely to send even more encouragement in your own direction. During each waking moment, you are constantly thinking or talking to yourself or others. Choose to use all that dialogue to move yourself and your world in a positive direction.

Quickly back up

The difference between success and failure is not in how many times you get knocked down. The difference is in how quickly you get back up. High achievers experience at least as many setbacks as everyone else, and often quite a few more. Yet they refuse to let those setbacks stop them. There are plenty of things that can come along to ruin your plans, and many of them are impossible to avoid. You don’t have to let those things ruin your day, or your attitude, or your determination to move forward. In fact, the more life pushes against you, the more clearly you’ll see and understand how to push ahead. When you so choose, you can transform every setback into a new opportunity. When the situation changes unexpectedly, choose to quickly adjust. Somewhere in all that change there is valuable energy that you can harness and put
