Liara Covert in Positive Thinking
Surrender yourself to positive thinking.  Create a heathier image of yourself on the inside.  You can turn any situation around with your mind. Listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth.  What ideas are you reinforcing? How are you spending your time? What situations are you talking about? You may not realize that destructive thoughts lead to destructive words and a destuctive focus that holds you back. Your word choices themselves strongly influence your life.

In some areas of life, surrender is not perceived as a good position to take. You may assume this means giving up. Many people assume it only means giving up the power you could exert over yourself.  If you think like that, you forget surrender can also be very empowering.  If you let go of negative thoughts and resolve that issues will work themselves out as you focus on what matters, Higher Forces will intervene. Voluntarily turning your attention away from destructive people and how they hurt you or manipulate yoru life is like surrendering yourself to a better life.

You need to apply uplifting thinking in your life in order to make good things happen. They won't simply unfold for you if you don't choose to believe them. How could you redefine the power of surrender in your life? What kinds of thoughts would you be willing to give up in order to better yourself? You have far more influence over the evolution of your life than you may realize.

All your feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on your conscious and subconscious thoughts. Realize that you are in control, whether you know it or not. Each of us can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or complacent, active or passive. The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. Why not decide learning will be enjoyable and exciting? Tell yourself that learning is taking you places. It is more than a phase along the road to a job or a lesson that applies only temporarily. It defines your attitude. Choose to believe to be a believer in yourself. Surrender to faith in yourself.
