10 Personal Motivational Mantras for a Better You

“Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” – Abraham Lincoln

The mind is a powerful tool, and most of our life issues can be conquered by training the mind. One of the ways we can train our mind is to identify mantras which can change the way we see things.

Simple Definition of mantra

  • : a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated by someone who is praying or meditating

  • : a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone’s basic beliefs

They are mantras in themselves, but if you need more, here are some personal motivational mantras for a better you.
