The inner speech, your thoughts, can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak. Ralph Charell.(So keep it positive at all times!)

If you hear a voice within you saying, ”You are not a painter,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced. Vincent Van Gogh (People used to say to me “You gonna be a cartoonist? Get a real job!” I silenced them!)

Although some of the self talk I heard people using was constructive and beneficial, most of it was the opposite – the kind of self talk that was counter-productive and self-defeating.  Shad Helmstetter
