Lately I have been reading to my son, “The Adventures of Captain Vic, a series of lessons from the Think-yourself Academy.
In it there are lessons for kids on positive thinking, and what you repeat to yourself determines your outcomes whether good or bad.
One day my son was playing video games with some of his online friends. Through his headset I could hear him say to his friend, “oh, your never going to make it,” over and over again. I said to my son, “that isn’t positive talking is it?” Immediately he changed to, “You can do it! You can do it!”
How many times in our lives do we say to ourselves, or others, “your never going to make it, your so stupid, why can’t I get anything right?” instead of, “I can do it, you can do it!”
In the Captain Vic series, there is Captain Vic who thinks positive, and Captain Miserable who thinks negative. In both, they have parrots that repeats what they are saying back to them.
What is your parrot saying back to you?
