Who says you can't have high hopes and achieve whatever you set your heart, mind and body to? Robert Kennedy said: "Only those who dare to to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
Positive Adaptation's three elements; 'Think, Feel and Do' your best are also reflected well in these Ralph Marston quotes:
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance, rather, raise your level of performance to meet your expectations."
"Expect the best of yourself and then do what is necessary to make it a reality. Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.
Take a moment to think about some of the strongest, positive, successful people you admire most. What are they famous for thinking, saying and/or doing?
One that always comes to my mind is John F. Kennedy, (who's campaign song actually was "High Hopes", by Frank Sinatra). JFK asked: "If not now, then when? If not us, then who?"
What the people who came to your mind and you may have in common is their belief in themselves and the fortitude to stay committed to becoming the best they can be, while also helping others do the same, no matter what obstacles may fall in their path.
We, too, are capable of staying positive, strong and becoming successful, (in all areas of our lives). We do not need to lower our expectations below acceptable levels.
We can and will expect the best out of ourselves. We will dare to succeed. We can be happy and live rich, full lives.
So today, try humming the song "High Hopes" and remember, "Next time your found with your chin on the ground, there is a lot to be learned, so look around." Maintain your high hopes, "Your high apple pie in the sky hopes."
Make it a wonderful day!
