Stop Listening To That Little Voice!<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/truestory.php?id=maureenoneil\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full

height=\"359\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s all it is \u2013 a little voice inside your head.<\/p>\n<p>You are the one in control of your choices, not that little voice!!!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I recently read a story about a young man, Tom, who at the age of 16 did something absolutely remarkable.\u00a0 See, Tom struggled academically in math his whole life.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t so much the fact that Tom knew that he struggled that effected his abilities, but moreover, it was the constant badgering of his parents and teachers that literally caused this negative belief in himself, that he would never \u2018get it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>But something magical happened to Tom one day as he sat in his math class.\u00a0 His teacher wrote a problem out on the blackboard.\u00a0 Tom looked at it, and realized that he had a solution to the problem!<\/p>\n<p>He raised his hand to participate and his teacher laughed at him and said he couldn\u2019t possibly be able to figure it out.\u00a0 Tom paid no attention to her.\u00a0 He rose from his seat, went up to the blackboard and solved the problem.\u00a0 His teacher and his class sat back in amazement.<\/p>\n<p>From that day forward, Tom never struggled in math again.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>Just as in Tom\u2019s case, we all must be careful of what we allow ourselves to listen to and what we allow ourselves to be surrounded by.<\/p>\n<p>You become like the people that surround you.\u00a0 If you are around a bunch of broke, negative unfulfilled people, guess what?\u00a0 You too will become broke, negative and unfulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>If you are around a bunch of successful, motivated, positive minded people, then yes, you too will become successful, motivated and positive minded.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Change Your Attitude!!\u00a0 Retrain Your Brain!!<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Make the shift from negative to positive and <em>change your attitude<\/em> once and for all!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Retrain your brain and <strong>change your attitude<\/strong> using these Positive Strategies on a daily basis:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AVOID NEGATIVITY \u2013
