There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking. —William James
Once upon a time there was a woman, about 30 years old,
married with two children. Like many people, she had grown up in a home where
she was constantly criticized and often treated unfairly by her parents. As a
result, she developed deep feelings of inferiority and low self-esteem. She was
negative and fearful, and had no confidence at all. She was shy and
self-effacing, and did not consider herself to be particularly valuable or
worthwhile. She felt that she was not really talented at anything. One day, as
she was driving to the store, another car smashed into her. When she awoke, she
was in the hospital with a mild concussion and complete memory loss. She could
still speak, but she had no recollection of any part of her past life. She was
a total amnesiac. At first, the doctors thought it would be temporary. But
weeks passed and no trace of her memory returned. Her husband and children
visited her daily, but she did not know them. This was such an unusual case
that other doctors and specialists came to visit her as well, to test her and
ask her questions about her condition.
Eventually, she went home, her memory a complete blank.
Determined to understand what had happened to her, she began reading medical
textbooks and studying in the specialized area of amnesia and memory loss. She
met and spoke with specialists in this field. Eventually she wrote a paper on
her condition. Not long afterward, she was invited to address a medical
convention to deliver her paper, answer questions about her amnesia, and share
her experiences and ideas on neurological functioning. During this period,
something amazing happened. She became a new person completely. All the
attention in the hospital and afterward made her feel valuable, important, and
truly loved by her family. The attention and acclaim she received from members
of the medical profession built her self-esteem and self-respect even higher.
She became a genuinely positive, confident, outgoing woman, highly articulate,
well informed, and very much in demand as a speaker and authority in the
medical profession. All memory of her negative childhood had been wiped out.
Her feelings of inferiority were wiped out as well. She became a new person.
She changed her thinking and changed her life.
In case you are out there with a negative view about yourself, you don't need an accident to have a "RE-BORN MIND", i challenge you today... see yourself different, you will be amazed at how much your whole life will transform.
