Those Silly Songs On The Radio

I’m sure it has happened to you many times. You hear a song on the radio,and you say to yourself, “What a ridiculous song.” Later that day, you hear the same song again.The following day, you hear that song a few more times.As the song climbs the charts, you can’t get away from it. You hear it several times each day for a week.

Then something incredible happens. You’re sitting at home and all of a sudden,you start to hum or sing that silly song! If, at that very moment, I were to ask you what you think of the song, you’d tell me, “It’s horrible.” Then why on earth are you singing it? The reality is, whatever you hear over and over will be at the forefront of your consciousness.As you also know, once that song becomes less popular...and isn’t played as frequently on the radio... you’ll tend to think about it (and sing it to yourself!) much less often. There’s an important lesson here.The mind tends to dwell upon whatever is repeated over and over. Unfortunately,the mind doesn’t discriminate between messages that are good for us and those that are harmful.

If we hear something often enough, we will tend to believe it... and act upon it.Just as a song repeated many times will get us thinking about that song, so too will repeated thoughts about success get us thinking about success!So if we’ll make sure to fill our mind with positive messages, we’re going to be more positive and move forward boldly to achieve our goals.

The more positive reinforce-ment the better.And where can we get this positive  reinforcement? Well,one way is to read motivational books. in addition, we can listen to motivational audio programs and spend lots of time with positive people.
