7 THINK LIKE A CONFIDENT PERSON
Unless there be correct thought, there cannot be any
action, and when there is correct thought, right
action will follow.’

When you think like a confident person you feelmore confident and
actmore confidently, so commit yourselfto taking charge of your
thoughts. Write this sentence on a small card and repeat it to yourself,
with conviction, several times a day:
‘I am a positive thinker – I think and talk confidently at all times.’

Consider: Are you a negative thinker? A killjoy? Do you find it difficult
to think positively? Does your conversation often take on an air of
doom and gloom? This awareness is critical to your wellbeing now and
in the future, so be totally honest with yourself.

If the answers to the questions in Confidence Builder 44 is no, give
yourself a pat on the back and promise to continue as a positive thinker.
If the answers are yes, reflect:
■ What has my negative thinking brought me so far?
■ How different would I be if I were more positive in my outlook?
Write down at least six differences that being more positive would make
to your life.
