I believe this one hundred percent and it is a philosophy I am trying to install into my kids. Keywords: try your best, failure, positive attitude Article Body: I always say to my children, as long as you try your best, there is no such thing as failure. I believe this one hundred percent and it is a philosophy I am trying to install into my kids. If you have an original idea, don't waste your time and effort trying to make people understand. They won't. And the help you will probably get comes in the form of negative feedback. If all those geniuses listened to their peers, we would probably still be living in the middle ages. Spend time on it. You'll notice that one of the recommended sentences is "I love how it feels knowing...." Using this sentence allows you to state your desire in a way that makes it true for you. When it is true for you, you send out a positive vibration. It s not a matter of how often you read or say your Desire Statement each day. It s important to remember that no one can be self-confident all of the time. In fact, you ll build confidence faster and easier once your realize that. Most people with low self-esteem or who lack in confidence are that way because of unrealistic expectations. They expect more from themselves than they do others. As a student and instructor of the Japanese martial art Aikido, and as a professional speaker and trainer, I often present on this topic and, in addition, have made centering a life practice. I say practice, because that is what it takes to access the Center State on purpose. Physically, the body's center of gravity is a point in the lower abdomen - but it is also much more. Being ambitious is actually good as long as you do not step on other people s toes and provides inspiration to fellow men. A strong desire can trigger people to get inspired and aspire for it. Again, stay within the confines of good fellowship, not hurting anybody along the way. Some people desire popularity.
