[Quote No.44972] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"What a person believes about himself and his abilities is [often] a self-fulfilling prophecy... Believing you are inferior, untalented, unimportant or incapable, influences your abilities. If you view yourself as unable to do things, you will be unable to do them. On the other hand, if you see yourself as talented, capable, and important, your self-concept will open up powers and talents that would have otherwise remained dormant.
Hardly anyone utilizes his entire capabilities. We can accomplish much more than we realize. By raising the perception of your capabilities, you will accomplish more." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.45193] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"The greatest teacher in the world is known as: 'Trial and error.' This has given more people more wisdom than any other teacher possibly could. 'There is no greater wise person than someone with experience.'
What does it mean to have experience? It means that one has learned from trial and error. If everyone would get it right the first time, experience would not be needed.
Having the courage to try - even though you might make a mistake - enables you to learn from trial and error. This is a valuable reframe.
Instead of becoming overly frustrated or discouraged when you make a mistake, realize that you are now becoming wiser!" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"Events by themselves cannot make you sad [and want to give up]. It is your attitude [mental self-talk - refer Rational Emotive Therapy] toward those events that make you sad [and want to give up].
To overcome feelings of sadness [and wanting to give up], become aware of the message your negative thoughts are communicating - about yourself, about the event [and the future], or about life in general. The next step is to change these negative thoughts to more positive ones.
Repeat positive statements to yourself. Your mood [and drive] will change." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.47600] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[In order to persist...] Remember Positive Moments: When you feel discouraged, you are likely to remember past failures and disappointments. This leads to more emotional pain and increases your discouragement. Make a conscious effort to remember any positive moment in your life. Even if you can only remember one time when you felt positive about yourself or only one time when you manifested confidence or strength, you presently have a resource that is yours for life. Calmly recall the positive feelings you once had and realize that since you have experienced confidence and strength once, you can continue to experience it in the future." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.47602] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[To persist remember...] Feelings Aren't Facts: Some people feel discouraged. They then assume that these feelings are facts: since they feel discouraged that is a 'proof' there is no hope. But feelings only represent a person's present state of mind, they cannot predict the future.
They can ask themselves: 'Do my present feelings actually prove that there is no hope?' Of course not. There is never absolute proof that your situation will not improve. By believing you have no hope, you are causing yourself great harm. Adopt the attitude: 'It is always possible that the future will turn out much brighter than I presently feel it will. What constructive action can I take for improvement?'" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.47699] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Courage comes in many flavors. In general, courage is defined as the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or adversity. It is staunchness of mind and of will. It is the strength to face opposition and not allow it to stop you. It is the strength to cope with hardship. It is maintaining your dignity when it is difficult to do so.
Courage gives you the empowerment of steely determination. It enables you to strive towards noble aspirations." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"Ask Advice Before Giving Up:
If you are in a situation in which negative consequences appear to be inevitable, don't give up. Rather, consult others for advice. Even though it might seem there is no escape, someone else might think of an idea that will save you.
Today, think about situations when you were under the impression that negative consequences were inevitable, but the reality turned out better than you had imagined. Let this serve as a resource not to giveup prematurely in the future." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.48233] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Resilience: The Art of Bouncing Back:
Build up your ability to be resilient, your ability to bounce back after a fall. As it states in Mishlei (24:25), 'A righteous person will fall seven times and rise up.' Everyone can fall; the main thing is to get up again.
When you think in terms of building your self-image, you will focus on the fact that you rose up after you fell. Of course, it would be best never to fall at all. But since falling is part of life, build your self-image by keeping your focus on what you are doing right. And when you fall, keep your focus on what you need to do to bounce back." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.51572] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[A true story - with a message about overcoming obstacles with courage, determination and persistence.] Responsibility and Responsibleness - the Greatest Gift:
Your attitude toward limitations and disabilities determines to what degree they cause you suffering.
Rabbi Elchonon Hertzman writes that he once met someone who was especially intelligent and knowledgeable, and also partially paralyzed. Although he moved around in a wheelchair, he was extremely calm and patient. He ran a large business and accomplished great things.
One day Rabbi Hertzman heard his story: The handicapped man came from a wealthy home and his parents could afford all the help they wished. Nevertheless, they planned that they would not allow their son's physical defect to be a deterrent factor in his life. They forced him to do everything by himself. They made him cook and clean and do everything he needed without the assistance of anyone else.
At first, the neighbors thought that the parents were exceedingly cruel. They later realized that by instilling in their son the attitude that he could do whatever he had the confidence he could do, the parents had given him the greatest gift possible." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.53578] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Self-Talk of Persistence and Perseverance:
Being persistent is the number one pattern that will enable you to create success in your life. When you persist and persevere until you reach your goal, you can accomplish so much more than if you give up when you are bored or when challenges arise.
One thing is true of everyone who has reached large goals. They all persisted until they succeeded. Many people start worthy projects, but they give up before they reach the goal that they set for themselves.
Self-talk is the source of someone's ability or failure to persist and persevere. What is the self-talk of persistence?
'I'll keep on going as long as it takes. What I'm working on is worth the investment of time and energy.'
'As I build up the habit of persisting, I can accomplish many more things in my life. So it's not only the present project that I will be completing. Finishing this project will help me achieve in more and more ways.'
'I feel great about being persistent. I am building my entire character in the process.'
'I see the goal that I am striving for. I am enjoying every step along the way.'
Always learn from your past successes. Think of instances when you persisted and were later glad that you did. What did you tell yourself to enable yourself to persist? Tell yourself similar things when you want to persist in the future." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.54615] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"View Yourself As Patient: Our self-image creates us. This applies to the strengths we see in ourselves, as well as weaknesses and limitations.
Patience is no exception. People who view themselves as 'impatient' will have many thousands of reinforcers over the years. For example, if someone became impatient just three times a day for five years, he will have 5,000 experiences of impatience! Focusing on these experiences will make it relatively easy to be impatient in the future.
By viewing yourself as a person who is patient, you will find it easier to be patient whenever patience is called for. If you have been patient just three times a day for five years, you have 5,000 experiences of patience. Each new time you are patient adds to your self-image of being patient. Your foundation will continuously become stronger and stronger." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"Adversity is a challenge that enables you to develop attributes that wouldn't be developed in easier times. Keep building up the inner resources that will enable you to cope well with difficulties. If you are in the middle of a difficulty right now, then right now is the best time to build up those resources. You won't have to wait and see if the inner resources you need are becoming a part of you, you will see results right away.
Develop courage and confidence. Develop persistence and resilience. Develop optimism and hope. How can you develop these qualities? Visualize yourself mastering them. See, hear, and feel yourself being confident and courageous. See, hear, and feel yourself persisting and bouncing back. Right now feel an inner sense of optimism that you will cope well with difficulties. And if a difficulty arises that you don't cope with as well as you wished, learn from the experience to cope better next time." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.63541] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"The Learn Experience Question:
Life is full of many learning experiences, also known as mistakes. Ask yourself frequently, 'What can I learn from this?' Some people make mistakes and then berate themselves for making those mistakes. They can be especially critical of themselves when they make a similar mistake a second and third time. Some people even say to themselves, 'Why do I keep making the same mistakes over and over again?' This question takes a person in the wrong direction.
It's valuable to recognize when you make a mistake. 'That was a mistake.' But don't focus on the fact that you keep making the same mistake; instead, the next step is to ask yourself, 'What can I learn from this to avoid similar mistakes in the future?'
Don't obsess about your mistakes. Then your mind keeps its focus on what you did wrong and what you don't want to do in the future. Keep your mind on doing the right things in the right ways. Then your mind is focused on what you do want.
When you ask yourself, 'What can I learn from this?' you are becoming more aware that you are becoming wiser and wiser [and your methods and plans are improving]. That's the mindset that you want for yourself!" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"The Stamina to Keep On Going:
When people enjoy what they have to do, and are not only interested in reaching their goal, the will have the stamina to keep on going on. People who focus only on the end results will find it more difficult to sustain the actions needed over the long haul. If a person is interested in the accomplishment alone but doesn't like to practice and take action, his journey will be much more difficult.
Even if you previously focused on the end results, you can decide now you will add a goal: to enjoy every step of the way. You might not find those steps intrinsically enjoyable, but by looking at the entire picture of your life you can now appreciate what each step really means to you." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"Learn [And Grow] From Your Experience:
The essence of wisdom is to have a complete grasp of reality. A wise person knows the probable consequences of a particular course of action. Therefore, someone with experience in a particular is regarded as 'wise' because he has personal knowledge of which actions produce which outcomes. Internalize the knowledge you have obtained from your experience; this will earn you the title, 'a wise person.'
Next time you find yourself in a painful or uncomfortable situation, tell yourself, 'With this experience I am gaining more wisdom.' If your mind ever takes you back to past painful events, view them as your personal 'University of Wisdom.'" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

But you have even more strengths and resources that you are not yet fully aware of, and they will enhance your life as you become more aware of them. There are many more strengths and inner resources that you can gain and build up from now on!!" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.50782] Need Area: Mind > Evolve
"Picture Your Ideal Self:
Work on improving yourself, instead of wasting time feeling sorry that you are not the way you would like.
Describe your ideal self: What type of person do you really want to be? Be as specific as possible. Don't use vague terms like 'being a kind person, gaining lots of knowledge, and being successful.' With these terms you will not have a clear criteria to determine if you have reached the goals.
If, for example, you wish to improve in doing kindness, clarify the specific acts of kindness you plan to do, and how often. Then, once you have a picture of your ideal self, you can plan ways to travel the path leading to that ideal." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.53576] Need Area: Mind > Evolve
"What Do You Say to Yourself After Someone Criticizes You? Imagine that someone criticizes you. Then imagine yourself feeling joyful about this wonderful opportunity to learn something positive from the criticism. Imagine that you love to hear feedback about what you've said and done or didn't say and do. Positive feedback means that you are on track. Critical feedback means that you can now improve and develop yourself.
Imagine that your self-talk sounds like, 'I appreciate and am grateful for this wonderful opportunity to become better. I am grateful to this person for telling me something that will be beneficial for me.'
If you actually respond to criticism this way, congratulations! It shows that you have integrated one of the elevated qualities listed in the 48 factors to acquire Torah.
If you are like most people, however, you don't think of critical feedback as one of your greatest pleasures in life. But if you have the inner strength, courage, and honesty to be open to hearing criticism, you will grow more in life.
So what can you say to yourself if you have not yet mastered the ability to love criticism?
One possibility is: 'My goal is to constantly grow and develop myself [Evolve into my best self]. I love positive feedback. But I can grow from critical feedback. So I will increase my inner strength, courage, and honesty to be open to hear what people say, and to weigh what they say objectively.'
You don't have to feel bad about yourself because someone gave you critical feedback. [We are all growing as people and because of this criticism you are now in a position to be better tomorrow than you are today and were yesterday.]" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
From his book, 'Conversations With Yourself', pp.174-5.
