It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. Once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. — MUHAMMAD ALI You

The belief in a thing makes it happen.

Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true, but many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence.

When you affirm big, believe big and pray big, putting faith into action, big things happen.

Whatever you believe, with conviction, becomes your reality.

You say a thing so often and so well that after a time everyone believes it. Even, finally, yourself.

Believing takes practice.

If a man says a thing often enough, he is very likely to acquire some sort of faith in it sooner or later.

Figure out which affirmations you need to hear the most and repeat them all day long in your head. Write them on Post-it notes and stick them around your house, on your mirrors, in your refrigerator, in your car.

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

To believe is to become what you believe

A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth. Authoritarian institutions and marketers have always known this fact.

Figure out which affirmations you need to hear the most and repeat them all day long in your head, in the car, while you’re walking down the street pretending to be on the phone, under your breathe in line at the DMV. Write them on Post-it notes and stick them around your house, on your mirrors, in your refrigerator, in your car. Write down your favorite affirmations ten times every morning and ten times every night before you go to bed and say them out loud.

Isn’t it profound the influence one is afforded — even the smallest among us — when affirmation comes clean off our tongue and clear from our hearts? All great progress and problem solving with others begins when at least one party is willing to place what is already good on the table. From there it is much easier to know where to begin and how to lead the interaction to a mutually beneficial end.
