“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”



Mahatma Gandhi

  1. Yes, being confident and positive will help a person reach and begin the goal they want to achieve. Running a marathon is tough, but in order to begin you have to think positive towards your capability. If you run and get tired, but in your mind you say "I CAN DO IT" then there's no one stopping you, go ahead do what your own thought tell you to do. What you want to do is what you will have once you follow your confident self-talk. Choose the Right and be yourself always.

  2. These pictures with the quotes on are very much inspiring, because it's weird how in a dew words it can mean by alot. Choosing the right, and believe and achieve is what get gives you a great self-esteem. It also gives you much success. "What you hold in your head, you will hold in your hand", that is very true. I love what this says, it's like saying what you hold in your heart is what you holds in your mind:).

  3. Confidence can lead to great things. Believing in your self and having self confidence makes your life much better. Always believe in your self, self talks can really help in that process. For example if you believe you Can, then you Will.What you believe in can lead to wonders for your future. But if you don't believe in your self that will be the the start of the destruction of your future.

  4. This quote is extremely true, because a lot of people that are looked up to in terms of mathematical and scientific fields didn't go through the proper channels, like college to learn. A lot of these great scholars were just curious and really smart.I really want to study physics but I know only the really basic things. I believe that later on I can really learn exactly what I want about physics. I really like this quote.

  5. I agree we always have to think positively about things we do. If we want to accomplish something we have to think that we can accomplish it. We cannot be saying to ourselves that we cannot do something we have to say that we can. When we think we cannot do something our mind believes it and it causes us not to be able to do it. But if you tell yourself that you can do it your mind will listen to you and you will be able to do anything you propose yourself to do.

  6. This is true. Even notice when your trying out for something, you keep saying, "I can't do this I can't do this!" You may not know it, but you are only pulling yourself down. For example, I'm trying to get a job, I keep telling myself I will start searching for a job soon, but NEVER do. There comes a time when you need to step up to the plate, and self - motivate yourself. No one else will do it for you. Self - talk is more then just motivate, it's having confidence.

  7. what this quote is saying is right because if you put yourself down & start telling your self that you cant do it well then you cant do it! you have to think positive & by doing that you will be able to do anything you put your mind to. positive minds get you really far & being negetive gets you no where near far. a Positive Mind is the key to success ;D

  8. what you hold in your head is what you hold in your mind, it's like saying what you hold in your heart you hold in your head. i love these quotes because they say sooo much in just a few words, these are very much understandable. If you believe you can achieve if you believe in yourself.
    Choose the right, and you'll be a sucesser:)

  10. When you think negative, its doesn't get you anywhere. But if you talk positively to yourself, you can get anywhere. If you think that you can do this or you can do that, you can do it. Just think about it. You will get there. Imagine yourself being the president of the U.S., imagine yourself being as successful as you can be, all you need to do is think about it. Our mind is composed of all these thoughts that bring you down because you say to yourself that you can't when in reality all you need to do is get rid of those thoughts and say that you CAN! Even though in the beginning it may seem impossible, once you overcome that by being positive, you can get to where you are going! CHOOSE THE RIGHT----->

  11. I really like this quote because it's true, if you want to do something don't think you can, know you can. Keep telling yourself that you can, and if you fail try try again after all practice makes perfect. But before convince yourself that you can =). For others to believe it you have to believe it yourself. If you don't value yourself and think you are capable of things then who is. Think positive and good things will happen to you.

  12. This is true I've heard it a lot from different people that you should think that you ca do what u wanna do and stay positive about it and you will get to achieve what you would like. If you stay thinking negative about a situation you will most likely end up not achieving what you would like. The best way is to think positive think it to your self and put it out there on what you want to get done. When you achieve what you want you will feel great about your self at the end. Remember to ALWAYS CTR and you will get to succeed on any thing you would like to.

  13. The quote is good because it's true, if you think negative then negative things will happen to you. If you only think positive then positive things will happen. It works with everything, life, sports, work , school, and just about anything else you can think of. It's best to think positive and be confident that good things will happen, so that they actually do happen.

  14. i love the quote by Mahamta Gandhi. It is true, what you think you can do you will achieve it only by thinking positive and working hard. Its the mentality of one that makes himselve great. If you believe you can do it than you will, by simply telling yourself you can and you will obtain confidence and achieve things you always dreamed of. And remember to achieve things the right way with CTR.

  15. Staying positive in life will make you very successful; you must believe in yourself everyday, thats why I agree with this quote! I believe that in life you attract to your life what you feel and think! If you think you can; YOU CAN! If you think you CAN'T you not going to be able to do so because you are thinking you can't, when in reality you CAN, you just need to self-motive yourself and always be positive! :DDDD

  16. We become what we believe we are. Whether is being good or bad. If we think we don't know or we can't do it, than most likely it will be that way. If we think we can, than we will able to do it, and sometimes it may not be easy, but if we do keep on thinking we can and we will. We need self-confidence in ourselves to be able to do the right and good things, and tell ourselves we can.

  18. I believe deeply in this quote. The mind is a very powerful state which can determine who you are in life. People need to think positive in order to succeed in life. Like it says here.. "What you hold in your head, you will hold in your hand." This is true because we need to believe what we can do and we can succeed. We need to have a high self-esteem on every thing we do and we need to believe we can do it! If we are constantly put ourselves down, whatever we do will not work out. We need to tell ourselves we can do it and anything is possible. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  19. This is a true statement if you believe on yourself there is no reason why you cant achieve your goals. if you don't believe on yourself who will...all this quotes are right because we need to start thinking positive and not negative if we want our life's to be positive. if you think positive you will be positive but if think negative you will be negative. is all in our mind.. :)

  20. What the post and quote say are true. If you believe in yourself you will be able to do just about anything, but if you don't you will be holding yourself back and you won't be able to do whatever it is you want to do. Believing in yourself also means try again and try hard/harder till you get it. In other words don't give up keep trying. If you control your thinking, if you actually think and have full control of your mind (by this i mean you think positive about every situation, that you can get through it) then you can get your mind to work for you and not against you. Instead of putting yourself down with "I can't do it" tell yourself this "I can do this, i can get through this" and most likely you will succeed.

  22. i think this is one of my favorite post, i really think that everyone should think positive and never say they can't accomplish something. you must have self-confidence and believe in your self all the time. if you keep telling your self that you can't do something, your pretty much putting yourself down! you can't except others to believe in you if don't believe in your self first:)

  23. I'm sure if you believe in yourself, grow self-confidence, and work hard at all times you will achieve and succeed. Believing in yourself and knowing that you can; you defiantly can achieve what ever that is you desire. "Self-talk" might sound silly but it really can help. Anything is possible just believe and remember to always choose the right!! CTR!

  24. What the quote is true because if you think u can do and keep telling it to your self your are going to keep trying ll until you get it right. But if you tell your self you can do it then you wont try as hard as if you would tell you can do it. you have to believe in your self and that will bring you to success in this world. whatever you think about is in your hand but you are the one who choses to get it let is go. Think believe and you will achieve any thing you want.

  25. If you think that you can do something, all you have to do is put time and effort into whatever you are doing and at the end you will see you can do anything you want to. When you choose the right, you are going down the correct road. When you want to do something, you can accomplish it no matter what.

  27. You can accomplish anything you set yourself to. Everything is possible, you just have to go out there and get it/achieve it. Do not wait for it to come to you, just go after your dream and get it. Sooner or later you will have accomplish this goal and be amazed of what you have grasped on to. What ever you think you can do; believe that you accomplish it. If you think that you cant then you will not get far as you truly can.

If you tell yourself that you cant do something, then it might end up coming true.If you tell yourself that you want to do something, then it will come true. All you have to do is go after your dream until you have achieved your wishes. In order to achieve, you have to believe in yourself.

  29. If you set a goal for yourself and believe in you self you will make it happen. Because only you think to achieve bad or good things but most importantly is self-confidence tell yourself you could do it and you will able to do everything you put your mind into.

  30. This quote means that if you think and believe in yourself that you can succeed and achieve then it's possible that you will achieve all of your goals in life. But if you think negative about yourself then you won't be able to succeed in life. Most of the things you do in life you think before you do them. So always think POSITIVE and CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

  32. Self confidence is all you need to achieve what you want. To achieve you have to believe in yourself. Its all in the head once you start doubting yourself you will become almost incapable of doing what you want. Once you start doubting yourself you also start limiting yourself to your full potential. So always believe in yourself because you have to believe to achieve.

  34. If you think you can't do something then you aren't going to be able to do it. Even when something is difficult you still have to believe in yourself and you ability to do whatever it is that you have to do. Stay positive and keep your head straight. Its a very simple task that can help you to achieve anything that you want. Believe and Achieve! Choose the Right!

  35. Believe in yourself. And trust in yourself, trust everything you do. Have confidence in yourself. Because if you do, you will be a successful person. Every successful person believes that he/she could do it. Think and believe and achieve. Your goals will depend if you believe in them. Your determination depends the successful person you will be. Don't trust no one, believe in yourself. Hear what your heart is telling you.

  36. This post tells me that if you believe in yourself than you can do anything you set your mind to do. All you need is positive self confidence and you will be able to succeed in life and become an Academic Champion. You can let anyone put your self esteem or yourself as a matter of fact "down".
    Just ignore negative comments that others may say and trust yourself

  37. You can do anything you set your mind to. You can't say you can't do something without even trying. If you think about it and have an open mind, you will achieve it, and if at first you don't succeed, don't give up! Life is about learning, learning how to get better and better at something. Everyone starts at the beginning, when you work hard you feel good about yourself because you know you can do it. If you believe it you can achieve it!

  38. I completely agree with todays post. You are what you think, if you are always negative and saying you cant achieve your goals, then you wont achieve your goals. But by being positive and believing you can achieve your goals, then it is likely you will. We must always carry the positive attitude and truly believe in ourselves. If you always carry something in your head, that you truly desire, you will have it in your hands someday.

  39. If you always tell your self you wont be anyone in life or you can be anything in life then you wont because your telling you mind that your not going to be that because such and such and if you dont think positive then you will always think negative about your self and never be anyone so always have the thinking of mind mind that you will be a baseball player one day you will be the one more person who steps on the moon or you will be a gold metalist so if you think positive to your self you will be all those things is only in believing in yourself and not letting nobody stop you

  40. Positive Self Talk is what everyone one should have in mind. It only helps you to think you can do something and it will let you. If you have negative self talk saying you cant, obviously you're not helping yourself achieve. We all should think big and believe we can because anything is possible.
    So give it your best shot.

  41. Your mind has strong powers!! Such as when you are running a few miles or even just one. Some people tell themselves "I'm tired" and they just start walking for a whole minute and they let their minds control them into thinking that they are too tired and that they can't run anymore. But in reality they just need to ask themselves, "am I really that tired" and the majority of times is NO! they just THINK they are. at the end, they can end up running 2 more laps or so. I have this friend that is the goalie to the girls lacrosse team who wants to be captain just so she can know that she can the girls what she feels when we let her down on the field. and I kept telling her that she can automatically do it, but she doesn't have that confident mind to let her think that she can.

  42. Sometimes you just have to stop and think to yourself about choosing the right. Be positive to yourself and you can succeed. Don't talk about yourself in a negative way because then you're going to start believing it. And you are way passed the cons, just focus on your pros.

  43. This blogs have me thinking that i could do anything that i want and that no one could stop me from making my dreams come true. I know that i could do it if i just believe in me . I should tell myself that i could do it and if i keep telling my self that i could it ill be able to complete all of my ideas and my dreams that i have for my future that no one will stop me from completing it . So i think that all of us we need to think about our future and no let no one stop us we need to remind our self that we could do anything that we want to accomplish in our life's .

  44. I think that if you disencourage yourself from accomplishing anything is a horrible habit because you give up before you ever do and like the great mahatma gandi said If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it." which is very truth so i beleive that if we are positive, postive thing are going to happen in your life.

  46. All you need is to make sure you really want to do what you want to do and try hard on it. If you really want it to happen you need to know and tell your self that you could do it no matter what. You need to believe on your self that you could do it. Thats why i really think this quote is very true.

  47. I think that quotes mean that if you think positive you'll always be positive. Also if you think negative you'll be negative in life. If you want to do something like if you want to run 5 miles nonstop and you put your head in to it you'll be able to do it. But if you want to do it and you think negative you wont be able to do it because in your head your saying that you cant do it.Thats you have to be positive and always choose the right.
