Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe that there is place for these tools, and I have personally tried great many. I do think, that generally happy, positive and easygoing person will see effects of this. But there are great too many deeply unhappy, negative, angry, bitter, and pessimistic individuals. And their general "glass half empty" outlook on life is so deeply rooted, that they would require a much deeper work to be done, than affirmations along. Perhaps, if these techniques were taught to young kids starting at a very young age it could have a tremendous effect on their development.

I am glad that you gained some benefit from early exposure to these valuable mantras but I think would have kicked all our butts regardless. Peace, P.

The introduction was done by Earl Nightengale and I think he was the producer of the tapes. I went on to win The National Hardcourts, the National Claycourts and I was a runner-up in the National Indoors. I was ranked #1 at the end of the year. Loved what you wrote today!!! PP,
