The universal success principles of faith and self-talk are intertwined. Using positive self-talk, or autosuggestion, helps you develop a rock solid faith that will sustain you no matter what. Conversely, negative self-talk fuels low self-worth. When you are drowning in negative self-talk, the anti-mantras that you have believed for so long, you are giving in to the limiting beliefs that have held you back and stalled your dreams. This leads to a false skepticism about the validity of your dreams and your ability to achieve them.

Because faith and self-talk are so connected, practicing positive self-talk can feel like a giant lie. This is because people often go to the extreme, trying to jump from feeling despair to joy with one affirmation! It leaves people feeling frustrated, as if self-talk works for “some people” but not for them. Successful people know how to practice self-talk they can believe in, which leads to a sense of self worth and faith that cannot be shaken. The key to using this universal success principle is to use affirmations that make sense to you in terms of where you are right now. If you can get yourself to feel just a little bit better now, you can up the ante tomorrow, building your unbreakable house of faith day-by-day, brick by brick.
