Saturday Inspiration: The Little Engine That Could

By
Real Estate Agent with Paige Walker LA License #3866

When my children were young I read them the amazing book The Little Engine That Could.  Even though it is considered a children's book, The Little Engine That Could is one of the greatest motivation books I have read.  It's a tale of the effects positive thinking can have when facing seemingly overwhelming obstacles. 

Little Engine That Could

So if you're in need of a little inspiration this weekend then pull out this classic and feel like a kid again.

More importantly, know that you can overcome any obstacle with a little positive thinking.  Just repeat to yourself, as the little blue engine did and as I had my children do when they said there was something they couldn't do, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can".  And don't forget to congratulate yourself when it's all over with a "I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could".

Paige, it is something that some of the best written advice can be found in children's books.  Don't you think that's telling us something????  Excellent idea and so easy to remember to do this as we've all been brought up with this book.

Paige, I remember both reading this when I was a child... and reading it to my own daughter as well.  I believe it was one of the series of "Golden Books."

Then, there is always the twin schools of that:  if you think you can, you are probably correct.  If you think you can't, you are also probably correct.

Paige, I love this book....read it to all of my three children.  Our thoughts always precede our actions.  When our thoughts are positive, our actions will follow suit!

Paige, We all need inspiration on a daily basis.  For some it is music, others sports, many use tapes and affirmations, The Little Engine That Did is also a great inspiration.
