Suggestions Daily Updates

Auto-suggestion is of considerable assistance in correcting personality faults. Though E. Coué, whose popular acclaim fifteen or twenty years ago still lingers in many minds, had little to contribute to our understanding of the nature of suggestion, practically he was on the right track in urging his followers to cultivate self-confidence as the key to a successful life. He used to say:6"Whoever starts off in life with the idea: 'I shall succeed', does succeed because he does what is necessary to bring about this result. If only one opportunity presents itself to him, and if this opportunity has, as it were, only one hair on its head, he seizes it by that one hair. Further, he often brings about unconsciously or not, propitious circumstances."He who on the contrary always doubts himself never succeeds in doing anything. He might find himself in the midst of an army of opportunities, with heads of hair like Absalom, and yet he would not see them and could not seize a single one, even if he had only to stretch out his hand in order to do so. And if he brings about circumstances, they are generally unfavorable ones. Do not then blame fate, you have only yourself to blame."
